Pete, as far as I am concered, if it takes more than one day they should
be ashamed of themselves. The map they made so far sucks ( see their
webb page), and the mess they are making is worse.

As you pointed out , there is no reason for the barges and chamber - we
have already run saturation schedules in their and proven the maximum
deco, and we have had several people do it , not just me. We have had
the US Navy's chief hyperbaric physician and the guy who "wrote the
book" on doppler, Dr. Johansen, confirm that we did it cleanly as they
were on site and tested us.

These guys will take months to get up the nerve to do what we consider
routine dives, and will never be able to throw the hammer down the way
we do. They can't cut it "downtown", and have no reason to suspect that
they could  because they have done nothing to indicate that they have
any business even trying.

Let me give you a great parallel to this usdct act. My wife was watching
"ER" on TV last night. The scene was some horrifying situation in an
emergency room. I asked her, "Birdie, is this realistic? She said, "no,
nobody's voice is shaking". When these pretenders get close to the pony,
they will know what that means, and not until, and then it will be too
late.
