   Mike, it is indeed unfortunate that the WKPP is on the far leading edge of 
technical diving, and is willing to share everything with everybody, and yet we 
have to put up with the worst bottom feeders in the sport and in the business 
working full time against us. Not that it makes any difference for us, it does 
not, it just confuses those who are trying to learn.

   We just did a 155 minute bottom time at 285 feet - something never done in
an 
overhead enviroment, or on scuba for that matter, with no bells, chambers etc, 
and explored cave out to ten thousand feet, also never done before. We have 
developed the methods to do this routinely, and the equipment, and we have more 
experience at it than any other group, and I have more of these dives than any 
person from this World, living or dead, yet we have to sit by and watch
complete 
derelicts spend all of their energy trying to diffuse that.

   Let me make it clear to all of you - we are where the action is, and we are 
the guys to come to for information - just say "no" to the strokes. I will 
freely share all of my information , and I will freely put my foot down the 
thoat of every stroke out there, with prejudice. - G
