Doug, I could care less about dive rite, but I am tired of
people like Paul spouting out misinformation.
The problem , for those of you not initmately connected with
cave diving, is that the WKPP has the permits to everything. We
welcome anyone who will to conform to our rules and standards which
I have guaranteed to the State in order to get access. People
like Paul and his buddies find they can not do this , so they
choose to attack me instead.
For the last six years these guys have badmouthed me, my predecessors,
and our Project. Exley went the other way and joined us, called me on the
phone and asked me how to do it our way. The rest of these guys refuse,
and it makes no difference, because we have too many people as it is,
and I can't even sleep before a dive worrying about who is going to
get killed next, and I am not about to take a chance with hardheads
like Paul and his buddies.
When people like Paul figure that out, they will get off of my
back and go their own way. In the meantime, when the they to mislead
the new diver, I will be in their face.
I realize this offends some people, but I think you can all see I have
no stake in equipment, and I am only interested in safety. I have no need
to badmouth any of these guys, as they find out when they try to get
access to one of these stites, they get told to call me. It has done them
no good to badmouth me, as you can all see, I am out doing what they
say they will do one day.
By the time they wake up and see what is happening before their eyes,
the party will be over. If you are new to this sport, or are trying to
progress, look at who is doing, and who is not. Ask the ones that are
doing what works and what does not. Calling me "neurotic" does not
take my results away from me, and if Paul Smith or his pathetic slob
buddies want to put on the suit and hit the pool with me, or put on the
shoes and hit the road with me, and then strap on the tanks and dive
to thirds with me, I will promise to bring back the dead bodies, if they
make it that far. When these guys can show the comittment that I do, then
they can talk about me. In the meantime, Paul Smith and Co can kiss
my ass. - G
