Bill, it has now become crystal clear that your whole objective is
to "prove" the Cis Lunar rebreather, and in this last report that motive
shines through. To send those kids on a "three hour bottom time" to do a
45 minute dive ( even though that is a huge overstatement of the facts )
is extremely irresponsible of you . The only reason to do that is to
"prove" your rebreather. You just exposed these kids to an unreasonaable
risk for nothing.

    This is one of the many reasons I hold usch a low opinion of you. I
sinecerely mean that - and I could not have a lower opinion of you than
I do now. Your track record of this kind of behavior is long and
abysmal.

    By way of comparison to our project, when there is "proving" to do ,
there is only one guy who does it - ME - not one of my kids. When there
is diving to do , we do the dive , and whatever it takes to do it. We
did our dives on open circuit, which you criticized , like the amateur
that you have proven you are, and when we saw what it took to do that,
we knew what it woud take to set up , execute, and bail out of the
rebreather dives. You have no idea what that is about. We then used the
rebreather , and we used it only when necessary, and did only the bottom
times necessary to get the job done.

   You might as well go ahead and claim a 360 minute bottom time - that
is our longest , as you seem to be hell bent on "competing" with our
stats- 360 from the 240 drop off back to the 240 drop off, with no fluff
- all travelling wide open. Try that one yourself. I did.

   Let me leave you with the impression of NEDU of your rebreather :
"all of the problems of an electronic rebreather with a lot more ways to
screw up" - you are not fooling anyone who has a clue, and my
precdiction is the number of those who join the ranks of those with a
clue will grow daily as they watch you do exactly what I said you would
do, and as Jablonski so perfectly bullseyed you for.

   You and yor project are a blatent disgrace, and an accident begging
to happen.
