I think the problem is that Technical Diving discussions evoke too many
'flame wars' among the general Rec.scuba readership on whether any
such activity should even exist.  Unfortunately, much recreational
diver training is presented in absolutes; you must NOT go below 130
ft., you must NOT do decompression diving, etc.  Rec.scuba has been
filled with endless discussion of just these two subjects.

This list should be a place that everyone accepts the basic premise of
Technical Diving as an legitimate pursuit.  Should be an excellent
forum for exchanging much empiricially-learned technical information.

Me?  Call me Nitrox, mixed gas etc.  'curious'. I'm an active U/W
photographer who's did research diving when back in Grad school.

				Happy Diving,
