Check out the latest lie on the Wak Too update - again, 20 minutes to
get to the drop ( a four minute dive ), another ten to get to B Tunnel (
100 feet away ), FIFTY MINUTES to get to the Monolith Room, an 8 minute
run, 12 minutes in the room, and 12 to get back out ( a five minute
run), then they forget to keep the lie in tact and take FIVE MINUTES to
go from 280 to 160 with no stops after a supposed 80 minute bottom time,
and then do 5 minutes stops up to 80 feet, and then a five hundred
minute deco.

  This is the kind of dangerous lie that will get somebody severely
injured. I am in one hell of a lot better shape than any of these
people, and I could not go up like that without getting wheelchair bent.
This whole project is about pretending. Every last bit of it. 
 
  80 minutes to do an 18 minute dive. Sankey and I did that dive to drop
bottles together one time, and Sankey was embarrassed to the point of
quitting since he had ONLY 1300 PSI left in his stage bottle, and my
guage had stuck at 2000. These guys are the absolute worst divers and
biggest liars I have ever heard of.

  Now lets see how long it takes them to get to the end. This should be
a good one. BTW, 80 minutes was longer than it took us to put the line
in to the end.

  I think Sankey and I used less gas on the dive open circuit that these
guys did on a CCR.
