So peter you are agreeing that DIR divers do not do deep ocean dives -
what's the Brittanica????????

I fully understand that the vast majority of the population on this planet
considers it unwise to make the dives.  So what?  There are many sport
activities people feel this way about. Climbing mountains higher than 25,000
feet - there could be avalanches, storms etc.  All ways to die having
nothing necessarily to do with the skill of the climber.  But if you want to
climb K2 you do it.  If you want to jump out of a perfectly good plane you
do it.  Now there's something I would definitely consider unwise.
