The fallout falls on us all. If only all the IDIOTS who go on TELEVISION publicizing all this crap would just shut their little midget pip-squeak mouths when talking to the GENERAL PUBLIC, maybe things like this wouldn't happen. While I agree with many (most) of his safety concepts, anyone who would TRY to publicize diving accidents to the general public and TRY TO INVOKE LITIGATION definately earns the "Farm-Animal-Stupid" badge. Slam and preach all you want if you have divers listening, but when you speak to the general public, you have to realize that most people find the simple idea of a 20' scuba dive to be "daring", so if you publicize the accidents that happen deep diving, you will of course bring about these types of problems. Learn a lesson, Irvine you idiot! Tim Olson -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'. Send subscribe/unsubscribe requests to `techdiver-request@aquanaut.com'.
