Technical details aside, the thing that struck me as "old school" and not in keeping with the mindset that training agencies try to instill in divers today is the idea of diving deep purely for the sake of diving deep. While it may have been cool or impressive "back in the day," diving deep without a goal of something to see down there is just not considered cool today. There's nothing to be admired about deep bounce dives. I got the impression her remark about how "magnificent" the corals and marine life are down there was intended to give lip service to today's thinking while her true mindset about what is cool or impressive is decades behind. Add to that the "you can never be too careful" remark, and the mixed messages don't sit well with me. Some of what used to be common for divers to do or think is no longer the norm. She has survived and has war stories. I'm not sure I'd want to hear war stories from Cousteau himself if he were to appear today and exhibit some of the same behavior he did back in the day.
