But lets do something about it. If someone dies diving "doing it right", or the best way possible, thats one thing. But when a supposed *leader* dives in this fashion, I'm sorry, his funny and crazy antics (I know we will miss them) don't cover up the fact that he was setting a bad example. He new better, and did nothing about it. Do something wrong and make a correction, that's okay. Most of us have done that. But to continue the practice, not good. Just because Harvey was an old timer and beloved in the community is no excuse for his continued poor diving practices. The local newsday article states that an experienced brooklyn diver died..blah blah blah. This hurts our industry every day - potential divers read this all the time, and this discourages them from learning. Had they known the truth......... It's always cover up, its time to stop. regards, Raimo -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
