LV>Just completed my DAN oxygen provider certification over the
LV>week-end. A few thoughts come to mind.
LV>1. If you are a diver, and don't belong to DAN (or at least a
LV>        similar program), you got no business being underwater.
LV>        I agree to stay away from you if you stay away from me.
After participating in evacuating an injured person from the Dominican
Republic in Jan of 1995 I can agree with you totally.
Until one expereiences the difficulty of trying to make the arrangements
necessary to airlift an injured person to Miami.....you can not immagine
the problems involved.
I worry more about my dive/travel buddies having DAN insurance than
myself.  If my buddies get hurt/bent, then I or one of our group has to
make the arrangements to get them back to miami...not a pleasant task to
have fall on you.
