JR:
I may be one of the two individuals you are referring to. My friends and 
I are tired of being offended by Irvine. I've been in the dive business 
for 33 years and have never known anyone as abusive as George. We don't 
even know the guy but are regularly subjected to his garbage. This is 
intolerable. I dive professionally around the world and must dive what 
the job requires and what the work rules allow. I apologize for wasting 
the list's resources over the past few days. I will stop. The words "air" 
and "deep" are part of the English language and are not offensive to most 
people. In many parts of the world commercial labor laws and insurance 
regulations do not permit helium in scuba tanks for jobs, it must be 
surface supplied. If scuba is used it must be on air. This is an 
international list and the terms "air" and "deep" will inevitably come 
up. I have deliberately worded my messages to Irvine to avoid personal 
attacks. But, in the future I will not respond to him at all. My 
apologies to members of the list, as well.
