It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Gosh Jim where the
hell do I start on you this time? Oh well, might as well start at the
top:

Jim,
Say it isn't so! First no Easter Bunny, then no Santa Claus
and now "The Techdiver Answer Man", "The Johnny Apple Seed of Trimix"
and poster boy for "Doing It Right" hasn't done it till last Thursday.
After all these months and hundreds of informative posts, who would
have ever thought that "Our Lad Cobber" was a fake?
I did!
Just like with O.J. Simpson, Frank Gifford, and Marv Albert,
it's time for the truth. Enquiring minds want to know! So now
Cobber Lad tell us the truth to these Deep Questions:
1. Since you hadn't done Trimix before last Thursday, were you a
"Deep Air Stroke" who has now seen the light or had you just
never been below 100' before?
2. You said you dove deep on air " to see what all the hoopla
about deep air is". Weren't you the "Deep Air Answer Man"
who coined the phrase "Just Say No to Deep Air, Don't Even
Try It".
3. Now let me see if I have the facts straight. You read some
"Techdiver Posts. Picked up a few books on Trimix diving
and gas blending. You went in the garage and "Whipped Up"
a batch of "Trimix Base" and then went down to your local
unsuspecting dive store, and had them "Air Top It". Then out
on the dive boat you went, without formal instruction or
instructor supervision you took some Helium (Our Friend)
for a test dive.
The Big Question: Flush with your latest success, what's
next? A copy of the NACD Cave Diving Manual and trip to
Wakulla when nobody is looking?
4. Finally, what about the people who you have hurt? No, I am
not talking about all the "Cobber Want to Be's" who faithfully
read every post from the "Techdiver Answer Man", I am talking
about your adopted step fathers - George Irvine, Bill Mee, and
Jarrod Jablonski. Just how do you think they are going to feel
when they come home from the springs this weekend to find
that their adopted son has been "Dabbling in Deep Air". Smart
money says George takes away your Jet Fins for 6 months!

George,
Getting the Cobber Lad off "Deep Air" and back to
recreational depths is going to be harder than you think!

No Cobber,
Your step father George and I both agree that a 130' or less END
is a much safer way to dive. I am the "Helium Pusher Man".
Everybody knows Trimix fills sell for a lot more than Air fills!

Cobber Lad,
We have been through all of this before. Like you would tell
your little play friends on Techdiver, Go to the archives! All
of these questions have been answered before. If you still don't
understand, Go ask your step father ,George, how the world of
technical diving instruction works!
Ted Green
