Mr Cobb,

How many times di I have to tell you that you are doing all of the
real bogus agencies a disservice by lumping TDI in with us.

GOD the Great Orginazation of Divers 
<http://diver.ocean.washington.edu/god.html>

and

OFDA the Old Fart Divers Association
<http://www.eskimo.com/~dickb/ofda.html>

We are the only true bogus agencies in the diving business. We have
standards and resent your lumping TDI in with us. We do not teach
Deep Air or require a whole series of classes in order to milk the
last dollar from a student. We do not recommend the wrong gear or
cling to the personal preference notion.

Even George is a board member of GOD (member #40). OFDA is in the
process of preparing a Rebreather Instuctor Instuctor Instuctor
card for him as soon as I find a good picture.

I have no problem with you calling TDI names but please find another
term so you dont sully the character of the true bogus agencies.
