Aloha, Rich Rich are you playing with me, trying to push my buttons, or is that a legit question? ;-) You have a pH. D. don't you? Yeah, I guess you did miss it. You mentioned something about football or basketball or something when you referred to "out of bounds" or something like that. What was that all about? Actually, your entire post sort of confused me as I recall you saying that you did NOT cave dive NOR did you care to. But, it was posted to techdiver and the REAL issue wasn't cave diving per se, but rather the bad name that cave exploration is getting from bad publicity of needless deaths due to doing stupid shit. You do remember, the only thing the guy remembered about the show was that someone was killed. Is that the image you want everyone to get about cave diving? OOOPS, forgot! You don't cave dive, so why would you care? OK, how about Technical diving? You're a "Technical diver", right? Rich, you are suppose to be diving NO-TECH. Technical diving is what the TRUE strokes do.................. After the point was made in the post, then came the slamming of Stone. Who, for some reason you seem to be protecting like your father. OK, so you did buy one of his rebreathers. BTW, how is that port-a-pottie? Done any caves with it? How about some hard core wrecks? Been to Wakulla? Tell you what, when you can dive your port-a-pottie better, safer, further than George and ALL of the WKPP then I'll buy one. Hell, I'll buy two and swallow. Breathers, Caves..........Isler, you say? Yes, he did it. How many did he take.........three?!? How many did he use??? Hmmmmm, was it three?!? ;-) Pretty reliable. I'm sorry, I just can not see anyone from the WKPP ever bowing to the depts of strokery by towing in three sets of doubles completely rigged incase the first two sets fail. They wouldn't do that horrifying shit. They would use the right gear from the start, and get the job done as they always do. See that, I covered both for you. Use the right gear and don't do stupid shit that will get you killed (like using the wrong gear) and give people the image that cave divers are crazies with a death wish. OR don't have any friends, and don't let anyone know what you are doing or where you are going, and nobody will give a shit because nobody will know. Furthermore, MR Joe Public won't go around thinking that every cave diver is a nut. But, you already think cave divers are crazy anyhow. Hey, did you ever figure out how to flush your port-a-pottie and get a sofnolime-espresso? BTW, if this pisses you off and you can't laugh at it........then you need a serious enema. I know just the person. ;-) Mike
