Absolutly right. Rob Palmer is only a straw in the hey stack. Its not about how deep you've gone but the route in which you took to get there. Many would be suprised at what it takes to do it right, and keep doing it right. You will, or probably have seen that the one's who brag tend to pull others into dangerous waters. This is also seen in recreational diving magazines promoting deep this, cave that and equipment manufacturers teking this and teking that. To do it right, tactical diving require's desire, money and time. A small sacrifice for ones safety. You can spend less money on training and gear for this type of diving than you can pay for a funeral.
