By the way, I forgot to mention that I *REALLY* like this quote:

I think it's extremely appropriate for diving in general, and *especially*
for rebreather diving. However, I'm not sure it's really appropriate for
the discussion at hand, because virtually all divers are taught very early
on that deep diving is exceedingly dangerous, so they already know it. It 
gets dangerous when they hear of other people successfully doing such 
dives (regardless of how emphatically the dangers are underscored), and 
jump to the (usually erroneous) conclusion that they could do such dives 
successfully as well.

Aloha,
Rich
