Scott, the idiots who teach this pressure these guys and tell them they need to be "good on air". Mouth tells people his "personal comfort level" is about 200 on air, a real fine example, and of course all you have to do is real Gilliam's accounts of his deep air diving to see where he sits on this issue, and then Hal Watts, PADI, act - all doing it. -----Original Message----- From: ScottBonis@ao*.co* [mailto:ScottBonis@ao*.co*] Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2001 10:38 PM To: techdiver@aquanaut.com Subject: Re: deep air Please help Hi Ed, I'm having difficulty understanding your message. How did an instructor "FORCE" you to dive to 180 on air? Did he physically restrain you and pull you down to that depth?

So consider yourself lucky that you dodged the bullet this time and learn from it.
