Brent, thanksd for researching and putting this out - I had forgotton that these buffooons had PUBLICLY deomonstrated what they are about. I guess the great and famous Bill thought it was safe to claim to be able to do more han what Gavin and I did ( the "tripple" commment) , since Stone had three solid months and the Park allowed Gavin and I two dives only. That makes the point more than ever that we are the guys who whould be doing all of this , UNINTERRUPTED. It is absolutely pathetic that Gavin and I doubled the usdct distance in two dives, adding more than half a mile to their line, and they did 129. Why the State of Florida boots out the winner of the Environmentalist of the Year Award, a ceremony where their own former Boss, and now Clinton's Director of the U.S. E.P. A., Carol Browner, also received an award for her work, so that they can let a dillataante diver and person who is in the TOXIC WASTE DISPOSAL BUISNESS go diving for fun in Wakulla with unnecessary toys that the weenie does not know how to use, indicates that something is seriously wrong. Mabybe I need to give Carrol a phone call and alert her to this travesty occurring in her own home state. Brent, nobody can argue with what you have reproduced here, and nobody can argue with the fact that you have been there, done this first on open cirsuit and then on semi-closed, and that you hold the World Recrd at 14,010 feet from air. Show me what dives ANYBODY on the usdct has EVER done that are not a total joke. Everyone conveniently forgets the WKPP's ten years of results, and conveniently believes the things that Bill Stone SAYS he WILL do and has said for years, but never done.
