Subject: Re: Crystal Beach Cave stuff & Video
Eric, I was accused today of being "un-American" because I "tell
everyone how they have to dive". I only had to do that once, three years
ago when I took over the project, and recruited the divers. 

   Now, they would do it no other way, and you can ask any of them who
have been diving with me.

   Also, we make decisions amongst the guys who have the most interest
in the project, and the guys who make up the teams that do the dives. As
anyone who has been to one of our dives knows, I do not say anything to
anybody, and I do not run the dives - every person on our team knows how
to do that.

   I would like to see your video .
