Jim, Mount knows this, but he is being pressured by the strokes who want to believe differently, and all of these guys are missing the boat here: divers want to learn and they want to dive with guys like instructors who are supposed to give them a shot at experience under the supervision of somebody who is looking out for them, and supposedly knows what he is doing. People will pay for that service. They do not need to be bullhitted, nor do they need to put up with the likes of the Slob and his nonsense about deep air diving. Let people learn and let them pay to be walked throught the dives. I will guarantee you that when somebody goes to an instrucotor and gets real infomatoino and some good dives, he wil go away with a feeling of money wello spent. Dying in a dark, cold quarry deep on air is bullshit strokery, and no prepartation fof anything. The only people who need to do a dive like that are police divers.
