End:

It wasn't the operation that was the problem.  I was there with George and
Bill Mee.  The Operation was Ocean Divers, Cptn Jim Mims.  He did an
excellent job of getting us to the site, keeping track of everyone, and
brinning us back.  The horrifing shit was the hoovery and strokery that we
witnessed.  I'm talking about lift bags popping off as people jumped in the
water, backup lights on for the entire dive (deco included), un-neccesary
SHIT hanging off people's rigs just waiting to snag something, shit clipped
off to d-rings on the tank, tank boots (they are fucking useless on doubles),
huge consoles and computers that screamed when they came out of the water
after the dive (they are air computers and deco was on 80%),...... a lot of
useless shit, just so they could call themselves 'Technical Divers'.
 Meanwhile, George and Bill were diving 'No-Tech' and had a blast.........no
problems, no fuss, no muss, no SHIT to get caught on anything.  AND isn't
that the real reason we go diving.........to have fun?
