You are at it again - just do not mention us, especially with the
"drawings of equipment needed" . Jablonski already told you what the
record is, and you don't want to hear it. 

What he did not tell you, or maybe he did, is that all we broke with
that record or any of the others we have set over tha last ten years are
our own records, and one of Olivier Isler, who's dives are themselves
remarkable and considered separately by us for the freezing cold water
he dives in, and the fact that he built his own rebreather to do it, one
that works much like our own.

The bullshit, which is a reference to the group you originaly baited us
out with, has nver done anything , anywhere , at any time, with any gear
, and never will. When they did dive ten years ago, Sheck Exley did 99%
of the exploration, and Wes Skiles did the rest. 

Now they are staging a sideshow and lying about it.
