Well!!!!!

I don't think this comment works for everyone!!!!!  Maybe tech divers 
need to be weeded out!!! I have no comment on this!! But as for young 
tech divers not having 
experience, attitude, and respect for mother nature, this is not the case 
for everyone.  Inexperience, YES of course, that only comes with time.  
Attitude and respect, I am speaking for myself, but I feel I have a good 
attitude and as much respect as anyone could have.  I am very 
inexperienced, but that doesn't mean I don't respect the ocean, laws of 
physics and physiology, and and my comfort level in the water!!!  I 
haven't been below 130', but I think I would like to try to go deeper!!!  
I am not going to go out tomorrow and do it!!!  I am going to get the 
equipment needed and become familar with it in shallow water (<100').  
After I feel like I have built up to it with suffiecent training, then I 
will veture deeper.  
All the while realizing that a problem can easily arise!  I respect that 
training will only reduce the risk that I am acknowledging, but will 
never ever eliminate the risks.  

	I can not believe that I am the only beginner with a this attitude!!!
I owe my attitude to three people: my parents and Richard Pyle.  I thank 
them for everything they have indirectly given me.

I am not cutting anydody down, only trying to get a response from any 
shy new techdivers that won't normally speak up!!!

Aloha
