--part1_1db.2b5ce13.2b7f1726_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit JT: Exactly what consitutes technical diving is open for debate. I don't have any plans to do 400' dives any time soon, if ever, but some would say the dives I've done are technical dives. In any case, I'm not a good example, since I don't do big dives by most people's definition of that. (I do dives in the 200' range, maybe a little deeper, with run times of 60-90 minutes max, using at most two deco gases.) I do have friends I dive with who do more than I do. The dives I do with them, and the ones they do without me that might be a bigger dive, are ones you don't hear about because there is nothing remarkable about them. They are not death-defying, they are not record setting, they are just fun dives. The only thing to be said about them afterward is that it was a great dive, a lot of fun, and a good way to spend time with friends who share the same passion for diving. The only reason you might hear of me is that I'm a recreational instructor, I occasionally post on some of the lists when I have something to say or can answer someone's question, and I've even traded a couple of emails with you over the years. Regarding newbie questions, people have to learn somehow. You can chuckle about the questions being unnecessary, maybe even silly, but sometimes it takes time to gain that perspective. I still believe the only dumb question is the one that remains unasked. This list and the others out there, are a way to share information, have questions answered, and to help pass along ideas that can make us all safer while we have fun underwater. I think most of the people here appreciate when those purposes of the list occur, and get a little tired when things stray off-topic for too long.
