What BSAC wants from me is a discussion of dive logistics and doing things safely - in other words, what we have learned in what we do applied to the British club system, a perfect parallel. The link between beginning diving as taught by BSAC and the more advanced stuff needs to be pointed away from TDI and Gilliam, and I intend to do just that merely by a show of track record. Gilliam has no diving that he can discuss in any serious circles - he has absolutely nothing to offer anyone. He knows absolutely nothing about what we do. Gillaim is the one with death on his hands, and I am calling anyone who involves themsleves wtih this guy "stupid". I am sure there are Brits who are pissed about that, but then I didn't kill the man, did I. Any way, despite the shock effect of my throwing the bullshit flag on this senseless death from day one, everyone in the world now knows the truth anyway - Rob's mistake was to involve himself with strokes - he broke Rule Number One in diving: "Don't Dive With Strokes". Exley broke it, and so did many others, who paid with their lives. Don't do it yourselves.
