No, Richie, I have been doing this a hell of a lot longer than you have, and the fact is that what I said is that D A M A G E is why I do not do it fast , and I also said 300 feet on helium is NOT deep ( enough for any other considerations), and I also said I no longer do the 450 stuff, and the fact is at none of these depths does HPNS come into play, but D A M A G E does. I also outlined roughly how the oil companies avoid this - nothing that applies to any of this discussion on here. The decent rate that I am using now gives little or no D A M A G E, and if you were not such a nickelrocket , you would get a scooter so that you could easily do these dives and hit whatever you want , when ever you want with no damage. But no, you do it like a red neck and call me ignorant for not understaning why. A one knot current? I can not believe you had the balls to yap at me like a cocker spaniel about diving walls in a current when I dive them in the Gulf Stream on the Bahamas side with the proper equipment ( my scooters) for years. Also, I shoot my fish, Richie, I don't play with them. Let me send you a few good recipes for your collection.
