Mike , these guys are idiots. Look who their "advisors" are. Good post - we need to keep the pressure on the strokes. I went diving with Hank Garvin and Janet Beiser off of the Wahoo on a wreck here in SF. It was a simple 160-180 foot dive. I took them around and showed them what I thought was some cool stuff. I was diving gas, they were diving air. After the dive , they did not recall any of the cool stuff I showed them, and one of them asked me, "where were you the whole dive". That was when they started thinking about gas. That was some years ago. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Strong <divermike@fn*.ne*> To: <techdiver@aquanaut.com> Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2000 6:33 PM Subject: Helium > List: I posted to the Odyssey about using helium.
