Capt Dale - you just don't get it - you can not leave divers, and
certainly you do not take orders from dress up phony Coast Guard
wannabees. Listen , I do not have time for the usual humor, but I hear
you dress up in a full captains uniform yourself to run that little
boston whaler or whatever you are diving out of.

 The more I hear about you guys, the stranger the story gets. I hear you
fired a flare gun at another dive boat, which is on par with leaving
diver in water, and I hear some other things too stupid to repeat - in
other words, you can't be this stupid, yet the weight of the evidence is
overwhelming, and now you come right back and talk about leaving the
diver again.

 You just don't get it - try running a non-stroke operation, instead of
a dress up like a sailor charlie foxtrot. It is starting to sound to me
like you guys have some kind of S$M parlor going up there, with some
boat ritual that preceeds it. Next we will hear how some bull dyke in a
Dominatrix full face mask popped up and strapped on the tool belt. 

 I don't know whether to be horrifed at the stupidity up there , or to
be rolling on the floor laughing at the image of the halloween show you
strokes put on to go diving.

 Bott, or somebody tell me - are these guys really this off the wall?

Subject: Re: Bent Diver at Whitefish

Jim:  
I was writing from the perspective of one of those you call "no-good
underpaying, freeloading bastards in the water".  From that perspective,
I
still would not be happy about being bent when, according to the thread
on
this, the harbor was only about five minutes away.  I think I would
rather
hang out there for ten minutes or so rather than risk a hit and all that
goes
with it.
As for what I, as a skipper,  would do; that is another matter.   Faced
with
the same situation (and with the benefit of hindsight).  I would
probaply
have left a responsible person at the site in the raft.

Good diving to you,
Dale
