Cal, those guys know exactly how pathetic they are after three months of not being able to do what JJ and I just did in one day in one dive with no help last month - we called it a setup dive. They did not get to the top, they did not even get halfway up. They left 25,000 solid feet of cave unseen. Also, despite Stone's contract with these guys to keep their mouths shut, the foreigners have all blabbed the real truth about this project, including the rebreather death of Kendall, the rebreather failures, the scooter failures, and the incompetence and baloney of everyone on the team, with the possible exception of the two Brits , who managed to salvage some semblance of a dive or two despite the gear, the planning, their own ignorance of this kind of diving, and the rest of the pathetec strokes surrounding them. However, even they would not make my cut as setup divers - I don't have 90 straight days to do what I can do in one day myself. Bottom line : WKPP is by far and away the Big Dog in this sport, and Stone proved it. I love to compete ( especially when I know I will win ) - too bad these pussies don't try Leon Sinks and give us a real good laugh. Wakulla is Ginnie Springs relative to what we do there.
