If only the ability to use written language was acknowledged as a barometer of intelligence! A person who cannot compose a coherent sentence can hardly be expected to know a great deal about. (BTW - this is coming from a 'neophyte' with 67 dives total as well as someone for whom English is a second language. I am not impressed. More can be learned by a curious neophyte from reading quest.com for a few hours than after a thousand proud bragging anecdotes by the good captain.) Perhaps I should be happy with the neophyte status - what if numerous deep [air?] dives followed by angry bragging sessions kill brain cells?
