Ok...first time here...Hope I get a little break.
I may be long winded this time, but I assure you I am not long winded in general. Thanks
I was somewhat irritated by comments I heard the other night at a gathering where I suddenly found myself engaged in a conversation about the Chester Polling accident. The one involving Anthony Kalinowski. Please excuse me if the spelling is not correct.)
I am new to diving (6/02) but dive with my wife and daughter. Needless to say, I am as responsible as I can be.
At the very top of the conversation, I heard blame placed in 3 different spots in less than 30 seconds with nothing to prove it. I have to say that the rumor monger certainly has an issue with the diving instructors and their firm. A firm that gave him his cert. As for me, I happen to hold them in high regard along with many other instructional facilities.
For the most part, I think the diving community is respective of each other. Am I RIGHT?
Any accident is a terrible thing and I'm sure all agree. But to blame so quick?...Put yourself there...I was pissed off.
Without hesitation I spoke out of the un-necessary finger pointing without hard facts. And if in fact someone was at fault, well then I think there is no just due in further persecution by means of malicious rumors.
I certainly would not want to live with that type of accident in my life, never mind the endless erroneous floating factoids.
Unfortunately one of the risks of diving is very seldom a broken bone, if you know what I mean.
In ending, I would like any links that may include hard fact articles. I would like to forward them to him to hopefully educate him on what really happened.
According to this individual, he heard it happend a couple weeks ago...'nough said...
Thanks for the time. (I'll keep it brief next time)
