   87 minutes total round trip plus laying and surveying 1800 feet of
line. Pyramid ( we call it the "360 Pit" ) is the second drop when the
cave is flooded and howling. We drop at the Fish Tunnel now, which is
about 50 feet in front of what those guys called the "big dive" that
took them 1000 cubic feet of gas - the A.J. to us. 

   They did not really do two hours - they did about 60 minutes , still
ridiculous ineptitude. They are getting better at the chart fraud,
although now they seem to have trouble with the beginning cut and paste
job - they start the dive with ten minutes on the clock now, and only
take another fifteen or twenty to go the first 400 feet, but are getting
some of the other spots in synch with the total lie.

   Bottom line: these guys are pathetic. Casey, you are forgetting that
we did that in one shot - not 43 days. I am waiting for them to try to
real think in there, or maybe the back of Sally Ward, which you , Gavin
and I did on our first dive in the cave. That should produce some
entertainment.
