Just curious JT. How many dives do you need to have before you are no longer a neophyte? For instance, how long have you been "Tech" diving? 3 years? 4 years? How many sub 250' dives did you do last year? 5?, 10?, 12? How many times have you been past 400'? At what point in your "career" did you make the transition from neophyte to expert? What was it like? Did you suddenly feel enlightened and begin to notice the children cheering while the women began to swoon? Inquiring divers want to know....... when are they no longer neophytes and when are they qualified to ask you a question? Is it safe to assume that one is an expert after 3 years of tech diving and doing 10 deep dives a year? Does skill enter into the equation or is it strictly numbers and depth? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Capt JT" <captjt@mi*.co*> To: "Steve Schultz" <se2schul@st*.ma*.uw*.ca*> Cc: <techdiver@aquanaut.com> Sent: Monday, March 31, 2003 2:10 PM Subject: Re: Fatal Depth > I hate to have to keep correcting all these neophytes on this list with the > truth and facts.
