JUST NOT TRUE!
I know, I was there -- and now I am here. (Note -- even though I admit that "If you remember the 70's you weren't there" has more truth to it than I'd like to admit, I WAS there and I do remember my 1966 training.)
The training is different, of course, but so is the gear and what is known about diving.
Please, as my dearly departed Grandfather was fond of saying (someone who, in fact, rode the range in Montana, was in the Yukon Gold Rush and was on one of the first ships sunk by a Japanese sub in WWII):
"Good old days? Good old Days? HELL, there WEREN'T any Good Old Days!"
From The 6 Weirdest Things That Are Ruining Your Memory | Cracked.com :
"The reason your grandpa remembers the 1950s as nothing but friendly neighbors and soda fountains is because ads and TV shows have been hammering his brain with those images for five straight decades."
