Lyle, in the case of our diving, the reason is there are no good p
valves for women. WKPP has plenty of great women divers, and plenty of
women divers who you enentually will see doing the same things, and you
have met some of them yourself, and others are already well known like
Tamara Kendall. There are others out there as well. I'll get Werner to
put some of their pictures on our web site.

We have some serious psycho women on the team who have all the toys and
dive constantly , now that I think about it. Also, if you look back,
women like Mary Ellen Echoff ( Sheck's wife) and Tara Tanaka did a ton
of diving with Exley and them before they quit. Sandra Derksen is
another one who does the same kind of diving.
