unhappy endings

[Freedive WI]

I have to admit to doing my fair share of deep air dives in the past, but that's because there was no other choice back then. Now that we have other gases and better gear to choose from I have gone away from that.
Granted, there still are divers and boat captains on the Great Lakes who run real cowboy type operations, there numbers are starting to decline. The last guy that I dove with like that ran out of air on his deco and had to borrow one of my stages to complete his dive. When he surfaced he stated that he didn't really run out of air because he had 200psi left- with 50 minutes of deco to do! :-X
I haven't dove with him since and I see that many of his best customers have gone away. He has also been bent more times than I can count.
If you are interested in more of a DIR type of diving, without all of the flaming insults, I would suggest checking out:
MIDWEST.org
They are a midwest based DIR dive club that has a perfect safety record and all members adhear DIR team standards. There are members from Illinois, Wisconsin, Tennesse, and Iowa. They could use some new blood from Minnesota. They do survey dives from 60' to 300'.
I was an active member in the club before I lost my interest in scuba and switched to freediving exculsivly.
