Good reading

Post by Joshua Smith »

I thought I had found all of Richard Pyle's articles on the web, but I was wrong. (If you haven't heard of him, google "confessions of a mortal diver" and prepare to be amazed at the crazy dives he was doing, back in ye olde tymes)

Anyway, he's a pretty amazing guy, and I just found this little gem- it's a bit dated, but he was doing 400' CCR dives before most people had ever heard of CCRs; and it's still an excellent primer for anyone interested in them:

Thanks for the link. Haven't seen that one yet.

His articles are always great (and entertaining) reads

Richard Pyle is great, I love reading his articles.
Is he the one on the youTube video “Hypothermia Induced Tourette Syndrome”
Very funny video, even non divers like it.
