>PS Actually, deep diving is quite interesting.
I was involved in offshore equipment in a past life. At the time
(1966-1973) there was a great emphasis on manned undersea exploration,
submersibles, habitats and the like. Except for offshore petroleum
exploration and the nuclear navy, not too much came of it, but the work
was fascinating. Diving is interesting but dangerous. By the time I was
40 I'd lost more friends and acquaintances in diving accidents than in
car accidents.
The following is the first 4 of reportedly 44500 hits I got from a google search on the topic. Plenty of stuff to follow up on.
