Opinions differ and usually align in conjunction with who does and who
doesn't do the dives. Take the tidbits as they come (or, in your case, don't
take them)

Breaking the rules? What rules are you talking about- real diving or cyber
diving? What is your problem Black? Last time you came crawling out of the
sewer I posted a note that if anyone thought you were serious to contact me
privately and I'd explain the reality to them. How many private emails did I
get? Zero, nada, zip, none, not even a "sock puppet"- No one takes you
seriously. We don't serve your whine here.

Actually, MY good friend Scott Hunsucker was recently named medical officer
for the WKPP. He does real mixed dives in real caves and is more connected
in the cutting edge of hyperbaric medicine than you can ever hope to be.
Just because he doesn't have an MD (yet) doesn't mean he doesn't know what
he's talking about. So Dr. (Opthomologist) Black, why don't you work the
numbers on an 18,000' dive at 300' deep plus decompression (don't forget to
use 100% instead of stroke mix for the last 30') and tell us what your CNS
O2 clock says. Given a choice between following hyperbaric physiology advice
from you or Scott is a no brainer. Last month most of the WKPP team showed
up for a full day of first aid, CPR, and in-water emergency training. Many
of us drove more than 8 hours to attend this session. Do you see that kind
of team dedication with your buddies? With any other group?

Black, virtually all the leading DIR people are experienced with aspects of
diving that are the anthesis of DIR. My first scuba dive was in 1968- what
do you think the standards were then? The key is we recognized the problem,
overcame bad and/or uninformed instruction and made the changes. There's
always room for one more- care to join us or do you still prefer to dive
your hot mix in a hard mounted pony bottle and other idiocies?

So, "Doc", you have any usefull information or are you just popping up to
spew the same old BS that we can all find in the archives buy searching
under "Michael J. Black"?
