I'm guessing you mean their 1983 story on ultralights?
Nah, it was on decompression tables and PADI (Professional Association of Diving
Instructors). PADI was using tables based directly on the USN decompression
schedules.... as was every other diving organization on the planet at the time.
The "scandal" was that the tables weren't perfect. Of course, everybody knew
there was some risk attached to them... but there was nothing better at the
time.
Total bull****.
