I still have not seen the tv show, but the whole fiasco was and is a terrible misrepresentation of everything , and especially degrades everything we have worked so hard for. It makes me not even want to dive there anymore, and if it were not for the fact that we have not finished what we started there, I would not be there now. The only good thing is that now everyone on the planet who understands this knows it, and the only ones fooled are those who do not know anything aobut this stuff anyway, just like I do not know anything about the rest of the stuff that is on Nat Geo. The other good thing is that the personal preference crowd got their 2 million dollar unlimited shot at us and could not cut it. That will never go away, and those guys will never be allowed to dive anywhere up there again. Now we know that no amount of money, gear, chambers, rebreathers, or anything else can overcome the skill and slickness of the WKPP, or what we can do in a weekend decompressing in the water and spending our own money in a stroke free environment. By the way, I was buidling a scooter for one of our team members last night and a neighbor's house guest form Autralia stopped by. He had seen the show and recognized the scooters and such when saw my shop ( the door was open and the lights on. He is an engineer himself, and the first thing he did when I showed him the scooter motors and so forth is start laughing about the bullshit that Stone spewed in that show about "cooling" the motors, and the otehr excuses he had for not being able to do what we did on open circuit in one day. I also showed him the memo form Stone about copying the WKPP scooters, and the 35 pages of amateur "engineering" drwawings smade by Stone on Cis Lunar letter head. These people are not only strokes, they are the lowest form of scum, and they got everything they deserved, but unfortunately they took innocent vitims with them. Nothing happens by accidnet, and that senasational screwup is exactly what we said would happen beucause Stone does not know how to run a dive project, and he proved it from start to finish. j m wrote: > > Did any one else see the debacle that passed for a > project at Wakulla on CNBC?
