Will all the Solo Diver, personal preference crowd please defend this? You were all gung-ho about going solo a few short months ago...c'mon defend the deaths that keep happening SOLO. What's going to happen soon will be state or federal regulations on tech and/or rec diving...wait till that shit happens and then bitch about $20.00 air fills because the shops have to be inspected by State or Fed inspectors... How about a State or Federal certified instructor... Diving will become cost prohibitive...ask George what he and the WKPP have to pay/do to get access to the water that other fools were killing themselves in. There is a better way, and most are too blind or stubborn to see it. Standardization works in many more demanding undertakings....those of you too cheap or stubborn need to get a clue before the carpet is yanked out from under ALL of us.
