"Bill", this is just not possible - anything this stupid is not allowed
by any training agency. It is bad enough that they use the least
effective gasses , like usually 40 and 80 , instead of the correct ones,
but then how would any of these guys know in the first place when none
of them has ever done the real t'ing?

 We will be looking into every possibility, but my guess is the
overweighting and bungeed wings that got the ball rolling, and then the
stupidity of the whole arrangement took over. I know for a fact that
fully redundent gear , and a long hose ( no matter how badly stuffed )
are required of any training dive like this. Only a blithering idiot
would do otherwise, and even the absolute worst training agency of them
all problably requires at least this much. Come to think of it, that
agency is starting to look good for simply sending cards out in the mail
without any dives, you know what I mean, "Bill"?
