Re: NY DCS hitJim -=20
Honestly, to the best of my knowledge, nobody has ever been blacklisted, =
or fears being blacklisted, for telling the "true story" about any =
diving incident up here. I've only ever heard of people being =
blacklisted from boats up here for doing things like drifting deco =
without shooting a bag, repeatedly coming up off the line with students, =
etc. Of course, you may have different information than I do. As for =
the demented way some people dive up here, I haven't seen the anchor =
chain ankle weight thing, but yeah, some people up here do some pretty =
wacky things... but from what I've seen, it sure isn't particular to =
the North East. Take a look around the parking lot at Ginnie or Peacock =
sometime, or hop on a charter boat in North Carolina. Or better yet, =
have a chat with legendary Ginnie map maker Jeff Hancock <g>. =20
Tony=20
Nick, there are divers up there who are terrified of being blacklisted =
by your dive boats should it be known that they leaked the true story.
So I get e-mails from folks who don't want to be persecuted by you NE =
divers but still want folks to know about the demented way some people =
dive up there.
You know, using anchor chain as ankle weights, independent doubles with =
no backplates, horse collars or no BC's at all, Navy dive tables, centre =
mounted ponies, and other bizarre, oldtimey stuff which is proven to =
kill people over and over yet is still used up there without a thought.
