It's a newsgroup forum, not the web. Kevin you have not offended me. I'm sorry if I offended you. What offended me was that Scott wrote that Divepros was the best bar none on a techdiver/cavers forum when by his own later admission Divepros is not a technical shop You wrote: >I see that you were embarrassed to admit that you were a NAUI CD. Why >is that? I am certainly NOT embarrased to be a NAUI Course Director and love and respect NAUI in the recreational industry and have NOT wavered in my support for their recreational program ever. I don't agency shop. Because I was expressing my viewpoint and not representing NAUI's I felt it would not be fair to name the agency, but now that you have I am proud of it my NAUI credentials and always have been. Unlike you I don't jump from agency to agnecy, year to year. It is your right to switch back and forth but where's the consistency? You wrote: > >We don't do cattle boats. I don't evern own a boat.

Although, I will admit that I may have been strong is saying Divepros did cattle boats. In truth Divepros does recreational divers. You wrote: >No we don't cater to the fringe group. So is this your opinion of technical and cavers or just cavers? You wrote: But we do know what we are >doing. Have you ever seen our nitrox station?

Give me a break? How many tri-mix fills did your shops do last year? I knew you had banks. I will admit though that I didn't know you were pumping helium at all. I will stop by to see the set up. What do you charge? I did hear someone say you had to order the blend 48 hours in advance, but I didn't believe them because I din't think you were pumping helium at all. So is the system off site?

You wrote: >MBT a former plumber who got bored and is now struggeling to make it in >the real world. Plumbers who change profession are not deserving of respect? What other professions do you feel this way about? I meet people who don't respect dive owners. You wrote: How long do you think he will last.

I do salute your accomplishments in the recreational field although as stated previously I'm not sure why you guys change agencies etc. You have grown and prospered. But don't force out the little guys or fault people for starting a new business. Others can do the same too. You wrote: >You are an outsider here. If only you knew.

I don't flame recreational divers. I am one, I started as one and I make recreational dives on occasion.

I have no lies to tell, I speak the truth as I see it. Let's go dive the Ozark together and see who does the tech diving.

(My source of support ranks below dive shop owners and plumbers in terms of respect from the general population) Diving is a hobby for me, one I pursue avidly. Speaking of calling people names: What was that you were saying about a plumber earlier in this post? susan -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
