Yes, well I was trained as a diver too. But I try not to brag about it where
it's not relevant to the discussion.


I guess Ive been reading too many of Roger's posts and his constant
self promotion and attempts at building credibility. Still that is no
excuse. I appologize deeply for the reference to DIT.

You are correct any true diver would not have mentioned it. I stand
corrected and ashamed that I stooped so low.


I read that more people have died diving the wreck of the Andrea Doria
than died when she sank. One guy takes an expedition to dive it once a
year. He said 3% get killed. I gather it is pretty deep, for breathing
air. I an not a diver, and don't know what the make of that. If you
take those kinds of risks, you have about a fifty/fifty chance of
getting away with it twenty times, if I pushed the right keys on the
'calculator that takes no prisoners', the HP 48. Are those guys danger
junkies or what?
