John, when people come to us they get the real story - we point out the problem with deep air, and we treat it like drug abuse, not the heroic activity the "record holders" and the "smell the roses at 441" crowd promote. When you show somebody the truth about deep air, they don't do it, but when you get told it is necessary in order to dive mix, like what happened to your brother, Doug, then they are misled. What happened to your brother needs to never happen again, and I would sincerely ask and encourage anyone who has relatives who have been killed during TDI "training" to contact us right away. This needs to be stopped right here and now. I have been on this for years, and all I get is people like Gilliam calling by employer. How about some help ending this tragedy, and getting the bad influneces out of our sport. Real people are getting killed - at all experience levels. It is time for all of you to wake up and look at the body count - deep air is what needs to be dead, not people like Doug Missavage, and I am going to do everything I can to stop this, so get out of my way, or help me.
