Sure, but inane babble by the clueless is not discussion.

I can also speak from personal experience from both sides and agree that
many people involved in hyperbarics know next to nothing about diving. 
A frighteningly large number have never even taken a PADI OW course.

>Most divers are totally unprepared for the DCI reality.

Way too true.  Rather than thinking the problem through ahead of time,
they use magical thinking to make the risks go away.
>Those silly little DAN boxes are a complete joke in my opinion

The little DAN boxes do what they were designed to do.  Unfortunately,
if you're not quarry diving, there's not enough O2 in the bottle to do
much.

>and so is the previous post with all the useless rhetoric.

Which part was useless?  Specifics are discussion, diatribe is
pontification without the religion.
