Greetings: As a student of technical diving (two years of training and experience AND no intent to dive the Doria soon) I am compelled to support Mr. Gunther's posting. Reading Mr. Irvine's posts and getting past the ODD presentation is a significant challenge. I always read the posts carefully and having discarded the extraneous chatter, carefully evaluate (and usually follow) the diving advise. I must say I am rather puzzled by Mr. Irvine's presentation style. I spent two tours in Vietnam working with Special Forces and a few seals on intelligence operations and eight years as a police officer. I have never encountered anyone who was really good at a dangerous and intellectually demanding activity (as Mr. Irvine obviously is) who communicates with his particular approach. They were almost always low-key and friendly (assuming you were not one of there targets :>). Generally people who talk like this would really like to be accepted as one of the group but are clearly not qualified. As Mr. Irvine's qualifications are not questionable the puzzle remains. regards, John. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
