  Jeremy - the rash of deaths is amazing lately. They are all in
differenet "juisdicitions", however. In many places, like Grand Cayman
and Cozumel, the local operators have baded together to slow the strokes
down, but Cozumel stil gets ONE DEATH every two weeks.

  In places like the third world toilet where Palmer died, the value of
life is so low and the incidence of death so high that nobady cares.
When you have starving bodies dead in the streets, a few strokes deep
air diving means nothing. 

  In Australia, they have regulated, and the regulations are worse than
what TDI teaches - same in Europe. Bill Gavin always told me that one
day he and I would not be allowed to explore cave deep on gas due to the
idiots like TDI and the Slob.
