Subject: COBB THE KEY BOARD DIVER

    Jim,
      Sorry it took so long to reply to your last post. I was busy 
diving the St. Augustine. It's 250 feet deep. Bottom mix was 
15/40/45. Deco was on EAN 34, and EAN 70. END was 128 feet. You 
do understand what all this means, or didn't it get covered in your 
correspondence school technical diving class?
     In your last post, you said you had taken three courses of which 
basic nitrox was the only technical one. Let me ask you several 
questions: Have you ever dove Trimix? Have you ever been below 100 
feet? Where the hell do you get off criticizing me? You don't know 
me. I probably have more Trimix dives this summer than you been below 
100 feet! It's a rare day when I am below 100 feet without Helium. 
There is nothing more worthless than a stroke like you who watches 
George's video, reads a few books, practises the buzz words in front 
of a mirror, kisses George's ass with a few suck up Techdiver posts, 
and then wants to tell me I'm doing it wrong because I am a TDI 
instructor! Look key board stroke, why don't you go to Florida, take 
George's course and shut up until you have done what you are trying 
to talking about!
      BTW, I hear your such a rookie that you fell for the sock plant on 
the Monroe. What's next? You going to tell us about a copy of Windows 95 
that you found on the wreck?
      
          Ted

The world contains but three types of people:

            3. Those who wonder what happened.
