I met Doug through techdiver, and we dove off Ft. Lauderdale in April 97. 
We didn't talk too much (the boat was loud), but I recall that Doug told 
me that he wanted to take a trimix class, but first had to take Deep Air 
as a prerequisite. He thought that was an unnecessary extra step, but I 
guess he succumbed to his desire to get his trimix ticket punched.

Andy, 191 feet, sorry. This was during a TDI deep air course in Lake 
Wazee. The insructor killed this guy - blew him to the surface. See Bill 
Mee's post. We talked to the sheriff. I am recommending manslaughter 
charges be brought, and we have the best lawyer in the business standing 
by to handle the obvious. Time to play hardball with these idiots before 
anyone else gets killed. TDI has racked up and impressive record of 
everything from trying to interfere with the WKPP to deep air fests, to 
two of their big time instructors being killed themselves recently , to 
training death - a real fine bunch of guys, just like I said they were.

 This idiot Gilliam even called my sponsors complaining about me, and
they all laughed in his fat slob face, including the company he works 
for! Now it appears that our fat boy has a small problem of credibility 
on his hands, along with more shit than he is going to be able to 
handle, explain away , or fabricate a bullshit story about. This guy did 
not have a "heart attack" he was not diving "the right mix", and his 
sintructor was an incompetent moron who killed him during a DEEP AIR 
CLASS.

  Now I hope everyone can start to see who the liar is in this business.
