Lee - you hit it right on the head: there is
noone with (our) experience level that would do
what we do other than on the right gas. I can back
this up by the simple fact that noone gets our
results. There are people who drive drunk, and
there are people who use drugs - we now have
information that indicates that these activities
are not a good idea.
The reason I make my point so bluntly is that
somebody with my track record has to. My dive partners
don't care what the rest of you do. One of them
likes to tell me, "You can't teach a pig to sing. It
doesn't work, and it irritates the pig."
If there is such a thing as technical diving,
why is it not practiced? Why are these bad
practices being tought? Why are you guys listening
to people who have never done anything? How come
nobody gets info from the Navy, or the oil
companies or other commercial diving entities?
Why doesn't anybody just read Bennett and Elliot
instead of the slop sold in dive stores?
Why is this the only sport where participants
try to do things every way other than the way the
pro's do it?
And while we are on the subject, those standards
I quoted are bare minimums which decrease with exposure.
