I just spoke to the Jackson County Sheriff and went over the report of
the DEEP AIR TRAINING DEATH by a TDI instructor at Lake Wazee ,
Wisconsin. Here are the facts:

 This was a training dive. The Sheriff has the TDI training forms filled
out. There was one instructor for three students. NO MIXED gas was used
- they were diving AIR. The divers' computers showed 191 feet of depth.
The victim had a problem at depth, and the instructor inflated his bc
and shot him to the surface BY HIMSELF - how stupid are these guys? They
then DECOMCPRESSED instead of helping the victim - what is going on out
there? How stupid is TDI? How unqualified and stupid can an instructor
possibly be ? How negligent can these guys possibly get?

  The victim then sank back down unconscious and drowned, while these
real tough guy heroes of deepair diving decompressed their weenie little
incompetent asses.

 Where is the safety plan here? 

 ANOTHER onlooker had to put on a tank and go after the victim, and then
these guys went after the body again, and again failed to surface it so
they could deco from a nothing dive that requires no deco - they are
incompetent idiots.

 Dead is worse than bent, but obviously not to these guys. They clearly
have ZERO understanding of decompression, and how an instructor can be
taking three students on a deep air dive to 191 while himself on air and
expect anything different that what happened is beyond my understanding.

 You know what the Sheriff asked me? He wanted to know what he should do
about the County wanting to shut the lake to diving. Look what wonderful
things Brett Gilliam is doing for our sport. I am so sick of listening
to strokes like Odem, Gilliam and Skaggs run their ignorant mouths about
deep air while reaking havoc on our sport. These guys need to go, and
the sooner you all quit covering up for them, the sooner we can get them
out of our sport.

 The sooner we put together one of these victims with the right law firm
(which we have) and the right expert witnesses ( which we have) , the
sooner it will be over. We need everyone's help in ridding this sport of
this problem.
