And every group/forum in scuba in which Lee has participated,
with the possible exception of rec.scuba -- and even there,
he modus operandi is beginning to be noticed even by his 
Dysfunctional pals there.

Mika, that would be a INSULT to Strike!  Take a random diver
from a newbie group to compare Lee should suffice.

How many divers (dead or alive) do you know who claims he 
can be perfectly neurally buoyant through breath control
to compensate a loss of 6 lbs of weight of the air in a 
tank that had been used during a dive.  This prompted a
someone in the Techdiver group to say,

Lee didn't understand that lesson in 2004 and continued
singing his tune of "Lee Bell's perfect breath control",
until Hugh Huntzinger gave him a newbie-level lecture
in rec.scuba in 2005, which forced Lee to back from his
bragging, but still obfuscating and mouth dancing with
new excuses:

So, Lee has gone from 6 lbs to 4 lbs, bragging about
his good air consumption as an excuse for his 
misstatement about the 6 lb difference premise to 
maintain NEUTRAL buoyancy throughout.

LB>  I start a bit heavy and end a bit light.  

Than back off some more admitting that he is never 
"neutral" afterall, even with a loss of only 4 lb
of weight of the air in the tank.


One of the "celebrities" was a tad more blunt about
Lee's knowledge and skill:

That was the verbatim quote.   The last line sounded
almost exactly like what I've said of Lee, but it 
turned out the quoted celebrity never read anything
I had written about Lee.   We just came to the 
IDENTICAL conclusion about Lee's posts (in totally
different scuba discussion groups.

-- Bob.
