Here ARE THE PROBLEMS:
1) I THINK THE WORST OF ALL.....MISSINFORMATION......
The other day I walked into a dive shop (a popular chain in NY, and NJ this location was on 6th Ave. in the teens in Manhattan) and asked a diver and employee (the long haired guy with a good tan) the following (I bored and wanted to break someones balls)..." I saw these cool machines called rebreathers....how do I learn to use one??? The reply was as follows " If you want to DIE thats the equipment to use!!!!!" at this point 2 other people were in the store listening to this load of garbage that continued to flow from his mouth for the next 10 minutes. The so called diver told us that rebreathers have killed hundreds of people are unsafe and that the technology is faulty!! Having heard enough I dropped the hammer and blasted this guy in front of his clients...................and was then asked to leave the store and never come back, but before leaving I refered the two divers to highly respected rebreather instructors in NY (joe and Andy), hopefully good people (like Joe and Andy) will be able to uncorrupt the minds of innocent divers!
2) COST
This has topic has already been hit though...the sky is blue, waters wet, women lie, and diving is expensive...such is life
Cheers
