Totally agree with you Ingemar, I know one of the guys who recovered the
bodies, he tells a harrowing story of the bodies found in each others
arms at 102m, they could see them from 60m on the bottom etc etc. When
are people going to listen and start being responsible, I had a guy on
the phone to me for a course in trimix and his justification for trimix
was that he had done 100m on air, he is over 50 years old.I suggested
that he stops and takes up something else.
Come on you deep air types wise up,mind you you are getting less in
numbers.
I didnt notice any of Georges objectors questioning him on his air ideas
at the do`s conference in Harrogate, it was the only reason I went.
