How do you know when you're ready to got to 150m?

[DuboisP]

For 150:

1. Deco training.
2. 130 foot free ascent.
3. 12 dives to 30 feet.
4. 12 dives to 60 feet.
5. 12 dives to 100 feet.
6. 12 dives to 130 feet.

150 m, not 150 ft...

Rick in Sodwana a couple of weeks ago on a Coelacanth dive (105m). What a character.

Fantastic photo. Rebreather with rolled up shirt sleeves and safari shorts ... love it. At 100 metres ... thats my kind of diver.

When you are physically and mentally prepared to do the dive and you have made progressively deeper dives to get ready for it.

or

When you are just too stupid to know any better.

Either way can work out fine or kill you on any given day. Just try to manage the risk!

When you have a fraction of Rich's time below 150m, and are invited to present a TED talk, then you get an opinion.

Gee thanks for being the arbiter of opinion.

I know who he is, read some of his material. I know he's good.

Incidentally, corporations are not people, but people make up corporations. One would think you could be a bit more original with your copy-paste tag line.
