Subject: Re: A reply from TDI
Adrian, since it appears the server has been down, I'm not sure you
have received my previous reply. If you did not, Please let me know.

Adrian, It is now horribly apparent, and I emphasize the horribly,  that
yet another diver has lost his life to DEEP AIR, this time in France. I,
and I'm sure others on techdiver and cavers are truly interested in the
views of TDI and TDI senior management on this subject.

Please let us know your postion and that of TDI.

Thanks,

Pete
