I will firmly stand my ground on this one. Training deaths on training dives
is simple unacceptable, inexcusable at best and murder at worst.
Instructors, agencies and dive shops need to be held accountable, legally
and morally if they are co-conspirators in this avoidable deaths. The
attorneys can handle the legal consequences, I am charging this list with
handling the moral responsibilty to de-stroke this industry.

You may be "crying out loud " in your e-mail, but I cried out loud for the
last three divers I had to bury, two of which were friends.

My sincere motivation is to identify and de-certify those technical
instructors that are killing people, and maybe to at least come up with a
website or webpage that anyone considering a technical class can access that
would identify bad or dangerous technical instructors. Also, maybe there can
be a page or two on the right way to do it and the wrong way to do it. (
Like the Baker's dozen on why 80/20 is strokemix, or why deep stops are
important, etc. )

www.intro2tech.com
www.tech-info.com

Something along those lines.

I hope you see my point, I read your e-mail and do see yours.

Kevin
