I am nowhere near being a tech diver and will probably never dive trimix or make a dive involving more than one short deco stop, and I have learned much here. I expect to never be a "DIR" diver, but I can understand where it comes from and if I was doing caves, deep wreck penetration or deco diving, I would be much like these people. When quick access to the surface is cut off for any reason much of personal preference needs to fall by the wayside. >To sum up I wish to quote a poor, bruised, taxi >driver, "can't we all just get along?" I think we can, but I don't put myself deep in caves underwater or up against a major deco ceiling. There are people here who can't say that. --Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.Send subscribe/unsubscribe requests to `techdiver-request@aquanaut.com'."> --0-1957747793-955725471=:1725 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii <P> </P> <P>>I am new to this list and have so far learned quite a bit.
