To: techdiver@aquanaut.com
What these last two "Reviews" of the "Last Dive" fail to remember is that the 
events take place in 1992 and before.

In 1992, in the Northeast unless you mixed yourself or went to 2 or 3 shops 
around NY City or Philadelphia, YOU COULD NOT GET NITROX, YOU COULD NOT GET 
TRIMIX, and YOU COULD NOT GET TRAINING. Deep air was the rule because it was 
all there was. Only a very few had gone down to Key West to train with Billy 
Deans and when they got back they had to do every thing themselves. Oh, by 
the way there was no "Tech" gear and there were no "Tech" divers, we were 
just divers or wreck divers.

If the events in the book were to take place today, I would agree with all 
that has been said but the book is on a small part of the history of how we 
got where we are today. It is not what should be done today.
