Is that stupid son-of-a-bitch boat captain an incompetent asshole as far as deep diving is concerned and is Ken Clayton worse? Is it true that neither is one you would have beside you on a deep dive if your ass was in a crack? Would I be willing to bet Clayton bailed on him and was nowhere to be found when the problem occurred? Was it because he probably never knew there was a problem because he left his buddy?
