Subject: Re: Smoking and Diving
Your story gets even scarier...  I think I know who this guy is and he is also
an NACD Instructor.  I watched him give a pre-dive briefing to a class at
Madison one time.  They were standing in shallow water in full gear while he
was lecturing and smoking at the same time.  When he finished he flicked the
butt into the water (in front of his students) and started the dive.  That
shows a LOT of respect for the environment and really takes a lot of class.
