LOL! I'm surprised no one has commented on that particular article before -
had me in stitches when I first read it! Whoever this guy is, they should
drop him immediately - you never thought about knocking out the occasional
article yourself, Frank? I'm sure you could do a considerably better job!

After a while, you kind of lose the will to live, or at least to write
in and put them straight. Another crap article in Dive, film at 11 or
so I believe they say in one of the former colonies. I think he still
has a way to go before displacing John Bantin though. Even years after
the event, the very words 'Bantin Rig' are still capable of reducing grown
men and women to hysterical quivering blobs of laughter.

Hehe - oh deary me...

"The specialist needs of a diving reporter have resulted in what is rapidly
becoming known among some tekkies as a 'Bantin rig'. I often use twin
independent cylinders, one with air and one with, say, nitrox 36. I use air
for the deepest part of my dive, then swap to nitrox on the way up as soon
as it is safe to do so. Although spending much of the dive breathing nitrox,
I use an air deco program."
