Matthew:
Spoken like a true zealot.
Perhaps Paolov's group conducted their deco dives in a less than ideal manner, I dont really know. So let's hear your useful and relevant input/s, if any, otherwise shut up and let them take their own risks and leave them to their own folly, like the true DIR divers do. Because if you believe your DIR procedures would work outside of a DIR-trained team, you are the biggest fool of all.
