The old "characters" were a hell of a lot more interesting, they may not be politically correct but great people. The current dive-god generation of vegetarians and tee-totallers may be very good divers but they really are dull. I have very happy memories of being at one founding member of IANTD's birthday party where he was trying to round up volunteers for a 1000ft chamber dive in his research chamber in the room next door whilst pouring a remarkable amount of alcohol down his neck.

I feel your pain..... I got kicked off another forum because I mentioned that a "certain get together" didn't look cheerful enough.
I am all for having a blast before, during and after a dive.

Deep is also relative

ERD as in 55m on air max depth,old TDI /IANTD course. I`m sure you know of it Paul. When I enquired re Normoxic Mix course , ERD was pushed onto the table instead. Needless to say,I turned it down. And of course, ERD can mean a 25m dive for 90 mins and resultant deco, but we all know it was sold as a 55m on air course.

My understanding (and this is based purely on some of the books I've read so really has no factual basis) is that Steve Bielenda wasn't particularly good friends with anyone!
