I wish more people would take this attitude about their experiences as
things neither to be ashamed of nor proud of, but as what they are:
experiences that have shaped their knowledge/wisdom/perspectives about
diving.  I find that I learn BEST from my own mistakes, and second-best from
someone else's mistakes. The most valuable diving-related knowledge I
posess has never been written in any book.

Aloha,
Rich

P.S.  I have in the past *intentionally* done more than 3 200-foot dives in a
single 24-hour period without ill effects.  I would probably not ever want
to do it again, but it's nice to know that others have survived similar
experiences.
