Subject: Math Under Pressure
Bill Mee and I were trying to do math at 100 feet on nitrox 35, and
could not. Today we are going to try the same thing with 20% helium and
35% oxygen and see what happens.

  I will be glad to match  my college board math score to any sum total
of three deep air instructors out there ( I think you get a minimum of
200 points for just signing you name, so four would be the maximum score
allowed, otherwise it may be a safe bet to say "four", given that some
of these mutants can not sign their name), and any five from Central
Florida,  and Bill Mee is a max out on any scale, so my guess is that if
we can not do it, the morons who recommend deep air can not either.
 
  When I hear a FAS dive instructor tell me he is "good on air", I want
to know why he is not good at one ATA on air, and how it can get any
better deeper? 

  I want to know why dive instructors are pretending that there is some
reason to "teach" this stupidity, when PADI takes people to 130 just to
show them the proplem. I want to know why I can do dives that none of
the big time instructors can do, yet I do not dive air. Why is that?
What do they know that I do not?	 

  How did you deep air dopes do on the math college board? Want to have
a contest with me, and let me prove you wrong? Bring out you best guy,
let's go to 100 feet, and let's see what happens.
