Rod, forward this to the list if it does not
go through. Thanks to the weenies, JR Oldroid has
the shields up. As follows:
Rod, now I know where the "won't let Farb on the
boat" comes from. I agree with you on the dive industry
hipocrisy. Most of the boats in S. FLorida won't allow
me either , they say I am a "bad influence". How do
you like that one?
I really owe you an appology, since we are on the same
wavelength but not knowing it at first. Pyle, however, will
still have to be flammed for that aspirin story, or,
since I am rooming with him at TEK, I will just have
to kick his ass when I get my hands on him.
Obviously, we all have done and do deep air dives,
especially when we have no choice. I try to avoid it
because of the microcirculatory damage, and I definitely
avoid long exposures. I have ended up in deep cave air
dives in other countries that I thought would be shallow,
because they started shallow. I am careful who I tell
these things to. Obviously, if I had my choice, I would
dive the right gas. When I did have to get deep on air,
I made it quick, like your Monitor dives. When I went
back, I took gas.
Clearly what we do in the caves here can only be done on
gas.
Like I told Rich, we have to be careful what we say.
A lot of people think depth is the objective, and many
believe that an ability to tolerate narcosis is a measure
of one's ability. When you write about filming the Monitor
for National Geographic, I read it as wondering about the
logistics and how you chose your shots, etc. The newbies
and would be macho "techdivers" will pay no attention to
the National Geo part, because they know that is out of
the question for them. The part they can do is the deep
air, and that is all they will see.
Where is Pyle , anyway? - George
