Are you really advocating madatory medical screening for all divers? Apart from the philosphical issues - I believe an individual has the right to make dumb decisions and go to hell any way they please - the cost, multiplied by the number of divers, of such screening would be exhorbitant, and totally out of proportion to number of lives saved. As much as you seem to find unfit divers repugnant, they simply are not dying in quantities sufficient to justify such draconian extremes. Most unfit divers I know are well aware of the added risks they face, but choose to accept them. I figure that's their own damn business, and not mine, the government's - or yours. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
