Nope. Fortunately I was able to get confirmation directly from George Irvine, which he simultaneously broadcast (or technically, multicast), on various Internet forums. It was only relevant because of the apparent hypocrisy of his attacks on others, including unsubstantiated and probably untrue ones. I have not published yet - so far I have only been asking questions. And getting answers. > > Your starting to show that your information is completly worthless especially > due to the source.

Rob Palmer was unable to respond at the time, being rather preoccupied with being dead. As far as I know, George's postings attacking deep air and other questionable practices of TDI long predated Rob Palmer's death or any action against George by Brett or TDI. And quite frankly, Brett's personal account of how he got mad at George rings true to me. For what it is worth, I think that George's overall position on deep air is correct. As are most of them, when it is about diving. He seems to me to be lamentably behind the times though, I think that Tom Mount and Brett Gilliam in "Mixed Gas Diving" alerted us to the idea that there was an alternative to deep air even for the 130' to 200' range. And then of course the "Wah-Wah" articles in AquaCorps really drove it home to us all in a more practical way, including that diving experience, or industry prominence, did not make you immune. > T.

(Though check first on http://www.concentric.net/~Wrolf/scuba_slang.shtml, I already have plenty of PADI and NAUI ones.) > > Ray LaTulippe -- Wrolf Wrolf's Wreck: http://www.concentric.net/~Wrolf P.S.
