Tom, you ask about our position with Dive Rite. Here is the new problem.
After
I agreed for my team to leave them alone the last time (after they called
members of my team to try to borrow a scooter to copy), I now find out that
there is somebody out there copying our scooters, and we think it is being done
in Dive Rite's machine shop.
I now find out that there is a company called "Dive Propulsion Systems", Mark
Leonard is said to be the owner, who have been getting batteries to test in a
vehicle that apparently is a copy of ours. The battery company told me this,
when I called them back to find out where my test bateries were. They are
dealing with Leonard, not me. WKPP will get no batteriess to test, and that was
that - we have been badmouthed an underminded by Leonard again, and lied about
by him again, and screwed by Dive Rite again.
I do not know if Bill Stone is involved with this or not, I will phone him
tomorrow. Meanwhle he is pretending to "work with the WKPP" , which is a major
joke - they have nothing to contribute to the "work" part, and nave no interest
in what we are doing - they just want to go diving in Wakulla - good luck, they
will get sick of that when they see it is not a B Tunnel fairy land, but a very
serious place, and will be a very serious sewer in a few years if we do not
prove where it goes.
That is a shame. I have built and paid for all of the "super scooter " stuff
we do, and the team has invested their own money in their own scooters , which
I
built. If they want to preserve the value of their investment, I suggest they
NEVER let anyone see what is inside these devices .
As far as technology, I am right there in every way,I am working on all of
the battery options and have been for a long time, I have been working on the
real rebreather opitons for cave diving and have been, and due to these guys,
I
will never tell anyone what I know, and neither will Bill Mee, and neither will
Bill Gavin. The community can read about it when we are done, and that is not
anytime in the next five years - we have a serious job to do, and Dive Rite's
or
Bill Stone's efforts to get in the way of that for their own personal
aggrandizement will not come close to stopping us.
The real trick is still being able to do these dives, and the real
equipment
required to do that is not for sale anywhere. The real goal is saving these
resources, and the real pros are the ones who do this. They do it now, always
have done it, do it any way they can , pay for it themsleves (like Sheck Exley
said and did) and they get it done and bet their lives to do it becasue it is
worhtwhile, and it is our duy to do it since we ar the ones who have been givne
the ability to do it, and if we were not supposed todo it, there would not be a
door to it. We will see.
Like Parker Turner said, " You have to have the true heart".
---and --
In the meantime, I have taken the pressure guage off of my tanks, and am
waiting for Mark Leonard to "quit smoking and get in shape" along with the rest
of these dillatantes and Francis Macomber's, including the Serengeti Plains
Drifter and we will swim until their thumbs get as big as their mouths - that
goes for anyone and everyone on that team.
