Tim I can't see were you figure I was speaking ill of any of these divers. It was used as a wake up call to us all. One thing seems certain, putting an real persons name to a story makes it real. Giving statistic in numbers makes it just that, numbers. By the way some of these people were my friends and others were acquaintances and this list really hits home to me. Don't even think I enjoy this list.
