Jeff, you see we are considered to have an unfair advantage since we try to
do what it takes, not take what comes. Richie is easy for them to identify
with - he is telling them their worst inner fears - they want to hear it,

ppo2 dive at 90 feet - a no deco dive. That is the kind of shit they love to
eat with a spoon.
