Two divers, apparently Instructors died 2 weeks ago in Dahab, Sinai. They were found at between 80 and 100m of depth. The current trend in diving here in Europe seems to be deep Air and much of it, i think is thanks to Brett Gilliam and his so called training agency. Publishing books like deep diving, where if you read it, you get the impression that Trimix is unnecessary trouble and that deep air, if you are mentally prepared and trained and all that bullshit could be done safely, is very dangerous. And he goes on in magazine articles with public statements like, only a few in the world can handle air at 90m is so stupid that i cant believe my eyes. We have a diving group here in Sweden called "dirty deep divers" that dives to 80m on air and sticks a name tag in the bottom, i mean what is this stupidity coming from. Someone must have a very bad influence on our sport and i think Gilliam has a large part of the blame. You may say that everyone has the right to shoot him self in the head, but promoting this dangerous activity as being safe is extremely irresponsible. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
