Joel,
The point that Case is trying to make is that they made it sound like all
diving was dangerous. We all know that the Doria is no walk in the park but
for the few who are willing to push further through proper education,
training, practice and experience those risks are drastically reduced. This
is what they should have said. More people get seriously hurt playing
volleyball and driving cars than diving every year, but they at Dateline made
it out that even recreational diving is far too dangerous for most people to
enjoy.

Food for thought...
