Billy you are either euphoric or a plain lier. State the facts and keep the BS lies of the list please. Some of the easily influenced by believe you bull shit. bdi wrote: Ten > Instructors from one agency killed themselves in the > last year.

IANTD is in the process of changing their standards once again but since you know nothing about nor have any connections dive training, how would you know the facts?. And the result is it is > statistically safer not to dive with a technical > instructor. And all you can say is "no problem, what's > all the fuss?" Statistically! Who's BS statistics are you refering too? I don't believe theres such a set of statistics that would have any credit towards them. > John, unlike you, I don't give a toss about 'names'.

You're just part of the whitewash crew. You know Bill, I never demanded everyones instructor statis. I only asked the couple of loud mouths who were slamming IANTD weather or not they were instructors themselfs and weather or not they actually knew anything about dive training. This should not be confused with weather or not they are great divers. Again stick to the truth please. If you think that all I due is teach diving then your dead wrong. I am a DIVER and have'nt had ANY full time diving career in 14 years. A matter of fact I would have to say that in the last few years I've taught very little because I so busy doing my own dives. > Once more for Slow Johnny: Ten instructors from one agency > killed themselves in the last twelve months - making errors > of judgement they are supposed to teach others to avoid. > Two more pre-arranged their students' deaths. These people > didn't have the judgement required to teach judgement. How > low are the agencies' standards? Sure, I'm slow at typing! Thats because I am a one finger typer who never had any need for it until I got a computor. And towards your ever meaningless remark, you can teach people everything in the world to someone Billy but who's responsibility is it in the long run that they pay stick with and remember what you were taught. Thats one of the nice things about all the multible training stages that IANTD has (unlike the quick, spit them out attidude you presented to us) because it give the instructor more time to burry more information into ones head. I am not about to follow everyone I have taught around and police their diving activities BUT, if I ever see any bad activities they better straighten up before they dive with me or on my boat. > You have no idea how I'm certified, or to what level. This is > serious business Johnny, not a fucking guessing game. Well Billy than who was it? I believe it was one of your Ozzie freinds that privatly wrote to me in your defense and verified this information. > Johnny, pointing out the fact that there is a major flaw in > the way the technical agencies are operating does not make > one a rebel.

Who's guessing or lieing know billy. Grant it there are some flaws in technical diving not just in the training, and the community has been working together since the early 60's to resolve accruing problems we face. Some of the pioneers of our sport who's information we have feed on and built on to for a while know. Billy speaking of names, do you even know about Dick Williams, Hal Watts, Tom Mount, Frank Martz, Jim Lockwood and of course Sheck Exley who was also a dive educator. You have also lied about me saying not to blaim the instructor. I said nothing of the such or who's was to blaim. And yes they do sign waivers. > Once more for the dummies: If they haven't got the experience, > the agencies are at fault for letting them through to do those > dives.

I haven't had a single accident with myself nor anyone diving with me in all of my 21 years as a card carrying diver. Wheres the problem. maybe your making them up too. Billy if we could get you and a couple others to stop your lieing nonesense then maybe we would have the required room on this list to talk of some constructive issues.
