Ted,

I've tried as hard as I can to stay out of this thread, while I watched from
afar you distort, misrepresent and manipulate the facts to suit your
agenda..  As I understand the facts, you are a local instructor in the area
of the VB Tech guys and the NOVA tech guys, but yet they chose AG and I to
fly into your town to teach a class..  Is that a sore subject for you???  It
seems so because you haven't really made much sense with respect to your
posts..  My further understanding is that you are part of the crowd that is
promoting, advocating and teaching deep air..

So since you seem to have so many problems with the way that we taught the
class, why do you enlighten us what we could expect to learn from one of
your deep air classes???

While you are at it, will you explain why it is that you think teaching
diving in 3 man teams is a bad idea during training?

If you are amongst the usual deep air teaching crowd you'll obfuscate the
issue and tell us how it is possible to teach a diver to overcome narcosis
and you'll avoid any discussion about dyspnoea, C02 toxicity, hypercapnia,
gas density and the narcotic potency of C02..  You guys in that deep air
teaching crowd leave out all the important discussion points, but put your
pavlovian dog students into dangerous diving situations all because you
think you can BS the less-informed about your ability to teach someone to be
good on air..  You may even be part of the crowd that buys into Karl
Shreeves idiocy about isobaric counter diffusion, so since you seem to think
AG and I did such a bad job teaching our class, why don't you explain how it
is you teach the deep air idiocy with a straight face...

Later
