Subject: Re: Rob Palmer's demise
Hi all,

Rob was my instructor, my mentor, my friend. It is very sad however that
I have to agree to the article in the british "Diver" magazine. I am a
member of this list since 1995, however my posts are very few. I just
now feel that I have to ask all of you; please DON'T DIVE DEEP ON AIR !
Deep diving is OK, Deep Air is NOT. If you want to do it DO IT RIGHT !!!
Listen to George. Some of you may don't like the person, but ALL og you should
give a second though on what he says, not om who he is.

I would like to quote a small paragraph from the article about Rob.

"When Bret Gilliam told me that it was Rob who had been lost, I actually felt a
sense of relief. My fear that he would be implicated in the death of a teenager
had been growing with every dive. At the same time it confirmed to me that what
Rob had always taught was correct.
Whoever you are, you must obey the natural laws and Rob chose to test what he
had been teaching about oxygen toxicity. He repeatedly subjected his body to
high levels of oxygen. 
Rob was killed by physics. As he always told me, you get away with it until you
don't.."


PS.
Note that I don't know George. I live in Greece, many many miles away
>from most of you guys. However, my personal experience tells me that
George is 100% right. Listen to the man.
