Curt, I've been a subscriber from the very first issue and have very much enjoyed Deeptech until the last 2 issues. I am afraid I am seeing a trend but I hope that is the case. Starting with issue #6 there have appeared a number of statements that are derogatory towards women. The latest issue, which I just received (#7) contains this trash in nearly every article. I can't believe that Deeptech has published some of these statements. I'm sure you can figure out what I mean, I don't care to repeat them. Would you be proud to show these to your grandmother? Your daughter? They have nothing whatsoever to do with technical diving. I am not done with all the articles, but the one by Rob Palmer is by far the best and the only one that isn't degenerate. I'd like to see more articles like it and the one on decompression theory. I am also surprised that the magazine has become a huge advertisement for Bret Gilliam and Uwatec. Articles about his heroism, articles about his companies products, articles about trips he's sponsering, interviews with him where he touts his products. Wow. I know he's a co-owner, but really, there is more happening than that in the diving world. I enjoy some advertisements, but how about some balance? I subscribed for the technical articles, photos, diagrams, etc not the immorality. Fred Garth even says in his editorial that Deeptech will not go the way of Aquacorps with all the bizarre erotica, then you publish a magazine filled with trash. If this is the direction Deeptech is headed, please cancel my subscription and refund my money. Sincerely, Paul Kaufman -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
