Mike, Keep in mind that theri "tech" training columns are written by Karl Shreeves who is a PADI VP and the instigator of their "tech" training. Skin Diver wouldn't even mention Nitrox until a couple of years ago. Rodale's is just as bad with Brett Gilliam as their tech editor. If you want tech information go to a good source like GUE. If you want laughs, read the "tech" sections of Rodale's or Skin Diver. Doesn't it make you feel warm and fuzzy though that they are featuring a cave instructor that is a heart attack waiting to happen.

I just got the latest, hot-off the press copy of Skin Diver Mag. (a "fine" diving publication...) Anyway, check out the article on pg. 38, about "training". "Eventually, of course, I figured it out. Since Rennecker had made it down this passage without even slowing down [to check on his student] there was no way it could have been that tight. I had to have wondered into a restriction." What gets me is that they actually are printing this in a publication, acting like this is the way things are done in cave diving. Looks like a good way to help the gene pool too me.....It's crap like this that makes me glad I met the right people, and that they taught me what was right, and what was not.
