Charlie,
You are all alone dude, I don't think he is nuts...
I think he is more likely a "talker" as many others seen before him.
Remember the last guy who came here wanting to buy/learn to dive a Dolphin so he could modify it to dive the Doria the following year ? Next thing I saw was he turned up a few months later at a DIR forum bashing Rebreather, and vowed to drink kool-aid forever.
Most people have bigger dreams than their dedication and ability could take them on one thing or another. Yours is probably something else other than diving...
IMHO, the best thing is to leave those people to chase their dreams until they realize that their dreams are beyond their reach - as long as they don't hurt someone in the process - or reached them.
Of course, you could make fun of them all along the process... :-)
