The problem here is the instroketors. These are the guys who are infusing 
these poor divers heads with bogus gear configs like using zip ties for 
life support equipment.

The problem is if a sport diver looses his flash light, who friggin 
cares? The diveshop has a wall of them and the poor dumb diver will keep 
buying them. I have 4 flashlights I found laying on the bottom with no 
lanyard, nothing on them. Did the divers jump in holding them in their 
hands? I don't think so.

The problem is when this sport diving stroke thinking is carried over to 
tech diving. And in this arena loosing some gear due to stupid zip ties 
could be fatal. Again the instrokters are stepping on their dicks on this 
one. How long does it take to say "hey, loose the zip ties, will ya"? But 
I guess it's hard to do this when the stupid instrokters own equipment is 
all zip-tied together.

No, Mark, I won't let this zip tie issue die. It is a glowing example of 
whats wrong in tech diving today. I promise not to rest until every 
single stinking zip ties is in it's righful place, recycled into a pair 
of ReeBok sneakers.

As God Is My Witness-

GOOOOOD BLESSS AMERICA, LAAAAAND THAT I LOOOOOOVE, ZIIIIIP TIES WILL DIE!

I WILL FIND YOU, AND UNBIND YOU AND GIVE YOU ALL THE CAVE LINE THAT YOU 
NEEEEEEED!
