Tony, up north the cureent is twice as fast and these guys can go against it - I am jsut a shitty diver, I can't do it in 3 knots. Obviously , these guys all went to the Tom Mouth school of exaggeration and bullshit, and rountinely get to 325 i the "Nest" whcih is 295 max at the very end, swim for 173 minutes in Peacok wiich takes less than 40 to go end to end in, and all have done 10,000 cave dives and have been diving trimix for thirty years, like Tom. They all invented diving, they all are full of shit. These guys all look lke 55 gallon drums, Tony, and if I can swim sub one minute hujdreds off of the wall, and these guys might make it in two minutes, what is rong with this picture?
