Well, I can see I can't leave you guys alone for a minute. I turn my back and you revert to the same old b.s. I can't even keep track of who is saying what, so I will just address the crap I have been able to wade through. Just that makes this a long enough post. JT seems to be running his mouth saying I wound up face down in Sally Ward and that is why I quit diving. Well, that is obviously bullshit. First, I haven't even dove there in a year and a half. Second, I'm still diving, more than all of the cyber divers on these lists. Appearantly he or somebody in his little clan didn't buy my story of "skin bends" as being a good enough reason to back off of the deep stuff so they made up their own story to suit there own needs. I wrote to JT asking him what the deal is but since he has refused to answer, and since I never actually saw the post, only had it forwarded to me, I will just take it up here. Hey, tough guy, we hiked 7 kilometers into the jungle of Mexico in 100 degree heat, did a 350' deep mixed gas exploration dive and upon surfacing I had severe soreness in the fat around my mid section. We call that slobitis, is a type of skin bends and it was most likely do to dehydration and the fact that deco from those depths is a little tough. Eight hours later, at three in the morning while sleeping in hammocks under mosquito netting in the jungle after having eaten food made by Mike Madden, I had some nausea and dizziness. The next day, I was better, dove shallow with my wife then hiked back out of the jungle. End of story. Don't try to read any more into. Then we have this other idiot Jeff Waugh taking pot shots at the WKPP because of pictures he saw in a magazine?!? First, suck my dick. Then, drag your sorry ass to Wakulla and find out how the WKPP does things, why they do things and why everybody always goes home at the end of the day. Nobody ever dives bottles on the right in the cave. Occasionally, a support diver ferrying bottles has 4 or more on each side. He has no light to crush, idiot, as he is in the basin. Even if he did, Barry Miller lights don't crush anyway. On occassion, at the last minute a gas diver is asked to drop a deco bottle off on his way in. To expedite the process, he throws it on his right chest D ring for the 100 foot or so scooter across the basin to the drop point. Big deal. The fact that this is the best shot you can take is further validation of how well the WKPP does things. For those actually out there trying to learn, stage bottles are always on the left because, primarily, to do other wise encumbers the deployment of the long hose. Obviously, anybody in the water at Wakulla knows this. Additionally, everybody knows that the scooter is driven with the right hand, not as easily accomplished with stage bottles on the right. Finally, and you won't know this until you put the whole package together, bottles on the left are the most slip stream efficient way to scooter. I have done five stages, all on the left plus tow 3 scooters, all where they go as well. Bigmouth Von bitches about 3 inch tall numbers on "duck" tape when most big time tech divers wouldn't know a correct bottle marking scheme if it walked up and slapped them on their over sized asses? Well, see my earlier suggestions to Jeff: Suck my dick then drag your ass down and see how things are done at the big pond. Then there's the clown who can't figure out the difference between 300 foot ocean dives and 300 foot cave dives. Fortunately, Peter covered that one and I don't have to. Finally, there is the rebreather list, but we just don't have time to cover that here. Who else needs pounding? I can't keep track. Now, I have my first triathalon coming up and I would like to get back to my training so will you idiots out there that don't have a clue what you're talking about please shut the hell up so I don't have to be bothered by your bullshit. Have a nice day, Trout
