Subject: Re:wings
I started diving in the NY area many years ago. Going out on a weekly or bi-
weekly basis, I did my tour of the NY and NJ boats and found myself most
comfortable with the Wahoo.  Her Captains and crew took me diving, allowed me
the time and space to turn dive theory into  muscle memory.  I got to see many
types of dives, divers, gear, gear configurations, and how they all played out
in the ocean in a wide range of conditions 

 They have always treated me with courtesy and respect as an individual and
diver.  They have always responded to any problems or questions in a timely,
appropriate and accurate way: as they did with Wrolf's scenario.  He came back
to the boat safe and sound and still working to improve his diving.  I have
never seen an individual belittled as seems to be the operating mode on this
forum.

I believe that diving carries with it ( or should) a large dose of the
apparantly forgotten ethic of personal responsibility.  

The Wahoo and her crew do not commit the act of hubris in the day to day
reallities of running a dive boat.  They do it, day in and day out and do it
well.
