Listen, you dumb asshole - I do not want hear about your accident history - I am not talking about you , I am talking about something else, and everytime I yell "hey stupid" I will ask that you dive instructors quit all responding at once. If you are this stupid, and you are, then I am sure your accident is just as bad. You guys are a disgrace to diving, and hopefully will get sued right out of business, which is the only aspect of your accident that the Sheriff mentioned.
