Although I can accept what you are saying ...
Well, sort of.
In my neck of the woods we routinely dive to the Galava, as just one local example, at 50 metres. On air, no big deal and we mostly do it as "same ocean buddies". Have done since the wreck was discovered and that was "quite some time ago" translate that into decades.
I accept that there are better practices today, but no one's died on the Galava - yet, if you catch my drift. I guess, quite unstatistically, that we've done pretty well.
So, how long have you been diving Mr Sandman?
Sorry, I get really pissed off when people think that they know everything and, no, just this once I won't leave this until the jone cold stober light of day to review it.
Mr Sandman, where I live you would be, big time, missing out on some spectacular diving with that attitude. Now that "spectacular diving" includes both the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
