JJ, the objectives of many of the real idiots out
there is to try to misinterpret things to find what
they think is some "loophole" in our system  , which
is always based on their own lack of experience and
knowledge. This guy obviously can't see the details of
what you really use, so start up this crap hoping to
somehow show us up.

I guess the fact that you and I hold all the records
and have  been diving together for ten years and have
the best track record in diving and that you have gone
on to start a trianging agency ( GUE ) to provide real
information rather than the slop these idiots are
throwing at us means nothing.
