Now there's an interesting thought.  Is there such a thing, I mean other
than actually doing a dive?  Even if there is, I don't think I'd care much
for taking introductory students to narcosis inducing depths in a container
full of water.  If something were to go wrong, which, with the number of
students that PADI trains each year, would seem to be likley, it might be
hard to get them out of the wet pot in time to do something for them.  At
least on a deep air dive, there's a chance that they can get, or be brought,
back to a more reasonable, safer depths while still alive.

What the heck.  It's the end of the day and my posts are getting sillier and
sillier.  I think I'll head for the house.  Jayna's hungry and the ribs are
waiting for my finishing touches on the Bar-B-Que.  Give Syliva a kiss for
me.
