           We used the equipment anyway, like Scuba Pro regs, DUI suits.
We developed all the lights , scooters, etc. Ajax makes the lights since
Lamar English quit. Rat makes the reels, backup lights. I make the
scooters. Brownies makes the rebreathers. We did not develop them, Jack
did, but I was the test pilot, since I am hardest to kill , bend, scare
or get to quit, and would breath water if that is what it takes to win.
I recognized immediately that his idea would work, and that theh rest is
bullshit, and we proved that.

           We do not use shit , only the good stuff, and even if DUI is
dumb enough to give dry suits to liars who have never done jack shit,
and never will, I will still use their suit , since it is the best, but
I will buy my own from my own dealer, and that is whoever the fuck I
want it to be.

            I a the main sponsor of WKPP, and as such do not have to
compromise anything for anybody, and never will. If one of our sponsors
makes a peice of shit, I am the first to tell them. Nobody has to like
me, but nobady can ever say I told them to use something that did not
work. - G
