I won't hazard a guess as to whether this "Agi" guy is real or a joke, 
but I can comment on something he mentioned in his message, which might 
be of interest -

I have been to the Izu Marine Park, and it's a pretty amazing place.  I
think it must be the largest (in terms of numbers of divers) dive center
in the world.  They get upwards of 800-1,200 divers per *DAY* coming
through there during peak season - no kidding! The diving is almost all
from shore, and they only allow on dive per person per day.  They have a
huge room just FULL of hundreds of aluminum 80's, and they have three 20
cfm compressors running almost around the clock to keep the tanks full. 
(the guy who runs the compressors has a PhD). There's a dropoff that you
can shore-dive that starts at about 30 feet and goes past 300 feet (been 
there, done that). The Dive center is owned by a guy named Hajime Masuda 
(famous Japanese U/W photographer, and ichthyologist).

Just thought y'all might find that interesting - I was amazed when I was 
there.

Aloha,
Rich

P.S. William, what does this mean:
