Jack, you are dead right - it was a slow day. TDI and Gilliam are not fooling anyone, so there is no need to engage them.The problem, however, with TDI mail order instruction and other tech agency nonsense is best defined by the stuff we see on this list: one guy "planning" a dive to 500 feet who wants to know if he can pressurize his camera, and another guy telling of a dive shop wizzard who fills tanks in a double set separately. These inbetween tales of deep air death and other charlie foxtrots. Jack, if you knew what I know, and you knew these guys, you would be all over them , too. It is really a sad thing to see, but we have our own training agency now, and maybe we can make a diference beyond what we have already contributed to dive knowledge, skill, equipment, and safety, and offset the Gilliams out there.- G Jack Thomas wrote: > > George M.
