I suspect this may be more of a problem with rec.scuba rather than
techdiver. I have often felt that rec.scuba gets well beyond the
remit of recreational diving (not that I'm complaining).

I understand what Nick is saying but I can see a point to this list
if it presents a different kind of discussion. For example, as a
newsletter forum for reports of actual dives and exploration. This
kind of stuff is missing from rec.scuba.

I would certainly be interested to hear accounts of cave explorations
or wreck penetrations. First hand reports of problems people have had
and the swapping of techniques.

To Maria I ask: would you rather be on Nitrox or Air if your weight
belt fell off? :-)
