George you have an open invitation, and I think those guys have far more low
vis diving experience than you do.

As great of a diver as you are you are not one tiny bit better than either
of them and do not have the all around excperience either of them has. 

You are a great scotter diver and have definitely introduced new DPV and
towing techniques and technology to the sport and WKPP advances in stage
bottle management are admirable. But in what those guys are doing now they
are far more qualified and they have already you of a team you wish to dive
with to be there. So i guess it is a condition of put up or shut up on this
issue. 

As I said before it is a subject that should be dropped unless an update is
posted or someone is inquiring on how they can assist in the
search/recovery. So if you are not going to assist and you have no material
to post why not just drop the issue.
