Sorry if you feel I have been or am being offensive.
I don't mean to offend anyone on this board. Please let me know if say something that is offensive
and I will *clean* it up. Offending people is not what I am about.
I also don't and won't get into an argument over experience, I have given an example of relevent experience and as I said chest
beating only serves to degrade the conversation.
I dive because I love to dive. I dive safely within my experience and training, when I feel the need to expand my experience I find
someone that has done what I want to do safely and ask that person to go along with me. If I don't know that person I verify his experience and expertise before diving
with them and then I will do one or more *easy* dives with them before I push beyond my own level.
Thats my approach, so far it has kept me safe, alive and accident free.
