Possibly true but I don't think this was her intention (that was my
statement).  I know some of the people in the photographs.  Some I have
dived with, some I would dive with and others I refuse to dive with
(anymore).  I've been to many of the same wrecks and when I'm lucky
recovered some of the same artifacts.  Might be an educational tool of what
to do or what not to do, its not for me to decide.  I only stated that I
think that her intentions are to have a place to show off her pictures
(which in my opinion are good).  I take it at face value.

		Art, Christina's web page is a vital eduacational tool, much
like the
		public hangings in Iran. Remember when they hung the five
skyjackers
		from the aircraft wing at the Tehran Airport back in the
70's after an
		on the spot "trial"? 

		You haven't seen any skyjackings of Iranian airliner ever
since, have
		you?

		Christina Young's web page has more dead guys on it than you
can count,
		and has more examples of what NOT to do in tech diving than
I have ever
		seen in one place. 

		If everyone would just look at her site with this in mind ,
we could cut
		the accident rates in half, in my estimation, and the site
of dead guys
		with the absolute worst bullshit gear configs is much like
the sight of
		the bodies dangling from the aircraft wing - very
convincing.
