Max,

I was trying to go a little easy on you until that last post. There are other options. One would be stay shallow until you are trained.

BTW, did you have a buddy on that air dive to 200'???

Believe me, I'm a former deep air addict. But if something happens at 200' and you are on air, solo you are screwed.

If someone isn't trained, or can't afford the training, or anything else, then they shouldn't be that deep.

I've been on that same rig as you were. I did it to 330'. Honest answer, was it worth going to 200"??

My answer is that it was a waste of time and mix.

John Walker will work out financing with you, but he will only do it if there is a commitement to dive safely.

We are working hard to clean up the tech image, and one problem could disturbe the balance.

I'm not singling you out as much as I'm taking the position that there are better ways to do the same dive.
