Subject: Re: What Can usdct Do For Us?
Tom, I do not compromise, and I do not allow strokes in the water or
on the property when I am diving. I do not bend the rules, that is why
we are successful. In fact, when I do the body recoveries, I will ask
that all usdct members leave the Park property.
 
   You are not listening. I will not be a part of anything that is
against my priciples, like putting a barge on that river . I am not a
hypocrite.

   I will not put pros with dillatantes or volunteer chamber operators,
and besides, I do not need a chamber or a bell - I LIKE THE WATER, and I
only get out to do the 30 ft oxygen stop. 

   I just did a 210 minute bottom time, which is 220 minute run time
back to the first deco stop at 250 feet, then did not get above 190 feet
for a run time of 300 minutes, and still got out of the water 10 hours
later. What do I need a chamber for, so I can play the flute?

   Tom, everything the WKPP stands for is bullshit if we let thse
strokes near us: we are top divers in top shape who do things as a team
in an organized an sytematic fashion with the right equipments and
conduct ourselves in a manner consitent with that effort. We do
volunteer community service and serve on Government committes and appear
when asked to speak at schools, conventions, in court, and in defense of
the environment whenever possible. We have MOU's with the Fereral
governement and agreements with the State. We hold the "Conservationist
of the Year Award" for 1996.

   There is no way in HELL I will have anything to do with the usdct,
and anyone who does is a flaming asshole in my opinion, and it is no
mistake that every fat slob, pot-smoking drunk, has been, wannabe,
bullshiter, freeloader and fringe operator is right in there with these
guys.  

     Tom, I do not want to know any of them - they are a disgrace, and
they have nothing I want, and can do nothing but make assholes out of us
for even giving them the time of day. They need to back off now.
