I was spearfishing at 200 feet on a single Al 80... Stupid me.
You know, I wish my wife hadn't explained your avatar to me... very disturbing.

So John Chatterton is a rubberneck, got it.
I think we are in a sort of agreement on this.....I see this argument revolving around ethics, not dive training styles so much....the chords that were "plucked", were key aspects to the ethical mandates each of us uses. This is very much like Religion, when two of different faiths choose to argue about their religions....Rarely does this provide an epiphany for either, and it is rarer still for one to change thier position as an outcome of the arguement.Haters gotta hate.
The real problem is that some simply do not want to attempt to understand another POV. So Dan, words in that case are meaningless but not because they lack meaning - but because people simply choose not to hear them. It speaks to a form of intellectual dishonesty wherein people pretend to listen while they are only formulating their rebuttal.
I thought for a moment someone was engaging in discussion. Stupid me.

You and your wife clearly see something I do not.
I actually prefer a third option, in which I am self reliant when in an unknown setting or solo, and part of a strong team when buddy diving - which is why I can understand these discussions from both/several POV's. It's the great challenge of diving IMO and I like to read how others are navigating their paths as well.
That's why I read both the DIR forum and the Solo forum.
