You've got ONE thing wrong - if this was exactly the same, then diving
deep on air would be ILLEGAL because driving DRUNK is ILLEGAL.  I know
a LOT of people that used to say - hey I can drive drunk and I've
never had an accident but that doesn't make their driving any less
dangerous.  Whatever your excuse, and it is nothing more than an
excuse, recognize it for what it is.

If enough people dive DEEP ON AIR and die then laws WILL be encacted
that will restrict us all, probably far greater than we would like.
Think about that before you do something stupid.  Yea - I used to be a
proponent of deep air but for the $$$ my life just isn't worth the
chance.  Oh, that bullshit about mix not being available - go learn
how to mix your own if you MUST dive that deep.
