Hey VooDooGasMan, good to hear from you. Hope you two have a great Thanksgiving.
Mike is right... no one was slamming me for my diving. However, if they were to be critical I'd have to be objective and reply that they should be. It is not something I'd project as a model to follow. In fact I am quite happy when instructors on board point out to their classes that solo diving like I do is not something they should try. That is wise advice and instruction. Of course the ones that know me usually add, but Bill has decades of experience and specialized training to dive that way.
