Being the guy responsible for the WKPP dives, you have no idea how scary this guy Stone is to me. Rick Sankey went down there yesterday and talked to Stone, and called me .. He was not laughing, at least not until he told me about the vultures trying to eat the foam off of the decopresion chamber. That is about the only funny thing about this project, and in a very morbid sense. Our conclusion? Stone needs to pack up and git before the ineviable happens. We don't need an "accurate 3 d map" of Wakulla for anything, we need to know where the water is coming from, and only the WKPP has demonstrated any ability to do that.
