<< Andy,
 The characterizations Bob used for Harvey, are very similar to the same ones
 which could be used for a dozen of the other remaining  old-time legends in
 diving. In the dive industry, many of the oldtimers who are the biggest
 characters, who are much larger than life, who we really enjoy having in our
 "universe" of diving, are in exactly the same financial and non-technical
 "comfort zone" as I assume Harvey was from Bob's post. .  If they were
 instead,  some money hungry accountant type, they might be well off
 financially, but have no large number of us mourning their passing. >>

SO instead of people knowing the facts about Harvey, lets just attribute his
death to "natural diving causes". Give me a break.

It's time agencies, instructors, dive store owners and boat capt's become MORE
responsible - the recent deaths show that. So lets be nice to Harvey, a dive
store owner who broke all the rules, because he was colorful. Meanwhile, his
death is another feather in the cap of big brother.

Sorry Andy, I just assume expose the truth. Ans sometimes the truth hurts. I
know, I've been there myself.
