Bill, this is sad but real - Gilliam continues to have his extremely =
negative influence on diving. The guy just will not let up with the =
stupidity.
What we all need to do is find operators who will DIR and avoid the =
rest and point them out. Sooner or later the idiots , and this Odyssey =
clown is obviously severely ignorant , will be at least embarrassed into =
doing things the way they should be done.
