Bollocks you did. The British diving community is a very distinct thing
from the BSAC show, one of several trade & lecture shows held each year.

Bret Gilliam will be there, talking about filming humpbacks &
hammerheads and his experiences of rebreather diving - and handy TDI
instructors will be there to let people try an Atlantis rebreather in
the pool. Serious stuff, huh?

the same free-thinking BSAC that approved the use of nitrox ages after
the other UK bodies "thus reaffirming its status as the guiding light in
UK sports diving", & is effectively vetoing other scuba organisations
for applying for grants from the national lottery sports fund?

strange parallels with other events taking place ....

I hope so too. What he's got to offer is more important than a moral
stance against users of naughty language.

Speaking of which, how much anti-George profanity do I have to cut thru
to find constructive contributions from its authors?
