No arguement, Mike. Anyone who night dives independently with only 35 dives of experience is an accident waiting to happen. Foolish, stupid, and brain dead.
However...I don't, won't be forced by you techie geeks to defend my personal diving profile, perfected over 35 years of active diving world-wide. It's mine and I don't advocate it for any other diver...unless, of course, he/she wants to progress from follow diver to leader diver, from reliant diver to self-reliant diver. At this point in these discussions I fervently pray that neither of us are ever on the same charter boat. A prayer, I no doubt, we both share.
