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.
