George, I can't agree with you more. I met Gillam back when he was running Ocean Quest (in '89 or '90) He spoke at a dive club meeting in San Diego. He looked about twenty years older than he was back then too. I had read a lot of his articles and really wanted to meet him at the time. When I showed up and met him he had already drank about eight martinis (Keep in mind we were having the meeting in a restaraunt that didn't serve booze, he brought his own in) and then proceeded to give his lecture. He made a total drunken ass of himself telling everyone how he dove to 300 - 400 feet on air, that deep air was no big deal, and called a bunch of people pussies in the audience. Real nice for a family oriented dive club. He was never invited back. I was totally disgusted by him. So was everyone else. Gillam is a fat drunken disgusting mess. He should be banned from the sport. Todd --- Trey <trey@ne*.co*> wrote: > I've been diving with him, and what he was was the > fattest slob on the > boat with the biggest mouth.
