There are other photos such as one of me in the 60's in cave gear that 
was takn by Frank Martz. Some of the depths as in your example are most 
likely off, however that does not effect the content of the book nor of 
anyone in the book other than the photographer and creator of captions. 
I was not privy to the photos, captions, design of the book nor to a 
couple of chapters that were added in and of the breathing art being 
placed into the appendix 

As the first of its kind the book filled a needed niche. Our workbooks 
(IANTD) today are much more current and our technical student manual to 
be released at DEMA or early spring will be more updated.
