You guys have gotten way off the subject , which was
goober dive instruction in the US. While you all were
arguing, we put out two web pages by Bentley - one showing
the restults of bad instruction, one showing how to do it
right.
You will all remember when Bobby McGuirre got killed and
we had this huge argument over gas training standards, and
the discussion of partial pressure of oxygen used in various
nitrox applications. At that time, we hammered ANDI , TDI,
and IANTD over this. Mount and TDI have evolved theirs over
that last couple of years to more closely approximate the
experience gained in commercial diving, leaving only ANDI
with outrageous practices. I have an ANDI nitrox from years
ago myself and know how far off the wall they were - that is
until Satterfield cleaned it up.
Whatever Tony and I were arguing about, and I think it
was just his defense of drooling goobers, which was not his
intention, as these scumbags defend nobody but their mutant
clan, has long ago evolved into the current silliness.
Notice that the goobers are all glad to see the focus
back off of them. Let's go back to the subject of
instruction: Tallahassee caves are clearing, promising a big
summer of diving. Trust me when I tell you that "personal
prefereence" and blubbering goobery will not cut it in Leon
Sinks - we need to get the safety message out prior to the
body bags this year.
What is being taught in cave, gas , and technical
diving will not cut it in Tallahassee Power Cave - either
get you shit together or stay out of Tally
