Subject: Re: What is Deep?
Date: Sat, 10 Jan 1998 21:36:20 PST
first off i don't try to tell anyone how to dive.  whereas some things 
are blatently wrong others are a mater of personal style and comfort. 
like gear congiguration.  i know a gut with only two fingers on his 
right hand and hes alot shorter than i am so his gear config is 
different because he is physically diffeant.  It doesn't make it wrong.
  
second if i do come down and visit the WKPP it will be to learn a thing 
or two not to teach (although it is a very stupid man who thinks that he 
has nothing to learn)

third, i am not an advocate of deep air diving in overhead environments.  
deep caves are a good way to get killed if you don't take advantage of 
modern tech.

"mother nature provided the planet Earth with a Nitrox atmoshphere know 
as air.  She never said that air was the best breathing medium for 
divers.  Here, as in many other fields of endeavor, human beings have 
used their knowledge of natural laws to go one step beyond what nature 
has provided for them."
