Subject: Re: Time out (was Here's the point!)
Jeremey,

I've been here for years on cavers and techdiver, yet I'm relatively new
to the rebreather list. That being said, I am probably older (52) than
your Buddy pH, and have possibly been diving longer, but that's another
point and beside the question.

All I hear from Dr. pH(art),as you call him, is lots of noise (ha, a
pun) with apparently little visible substance in terms of experience, at
least relative to his current opponent. Most of us know George's
accomplishments and find them exceptional, we know he and the WKPP does
the dives and the deco and survives without being hammered (most likely
a function of conditioning). I also find their view on CCR's and
electronics also carries lots of intuitive appeal.

The point is we know the WKPP does the dives and the deco, the question
is what are the good Doctor's qualifications to argue with one, or a
group, who have been doing the dives successfully for some time?

If pH has the experience people will listen to him, if not, then he is
simply full of crap and pontificating theory rather than practice.

I am merely trying to find a basis as to why one would accept the views
of pH unless he actually has the experience and qualifications to argue
with what is becoming proven fact.I have seen his posts on the
rebreather list, but does he have anywhere near the experience of the
WKPP divers with extreme dives? I tend to believe he doesn't...

In all seriousness, I am really interested in pH's qualifications in
this arena.

by the way, rhyme is the correct spelling of "rhime".

Looking forward to your response...
