Mark,

I am not slamming the Seahunter because  I crew on the Eagles Nest. I brought
up the point of the Seahunter because (and I failed to point this out in my
earlier posting) ANDI headquaters (I'll use that name from now on as opposed
to Island Scuba for the sake of semantics) uses that boat exclusively, and
many of their customers wind up coming to me for fills or diving with some of
my own customers. 

Now you may think that I am using this list as a way of "badgering" the
competition, but then you may very well be an idiot if you really believe
that. ANDI headquaters says one thing and does another. No examples here
unless requested. (Go ahead George, i'm waiting for you to ask).

My point about the 50/50 and what should be done? Simple. Those students that
ANDI trains using 50/50 should not be taught that 50/50 can be used as
bailout deeper than 70 feet. Period. Yes, I have no problems with carrying it
deeper than 70 feet when carried only for deco purposes. But to suggest that
you can go to it at a deeper depth is assinine.

Now, let's consider "headquaters" biggest problem. They do not listen or take
critisim. They do what they do, defend themselves using a cloud of bullshit,
and are self centered around making money, even at the cost of diver safety.
(Don't force me to cite examples here, or ANDI  "heaquters" will "threaten"
me with a libel and slander suit, a "tool" that people (in most cases big
time assholes) in the wrong use as a  defense mechanism.

I have in the past tried working with ANDI Headquaters, specifically when
Doug Petit was still working there. Even Doug got nowhere with "headquaters",
and he was part of it. 

So this is not about me against my competitor, unless you choose to make it
that. It is soley about safe procedure and protocol. 

So tell me mark, who are you  and what do you know about safe protocol,
standards, and dealing with divers that do not know what they are doing in
the technical arena??????? (sorry to those of you who are intelligent and do
know)

Raimo.
