  Lawrence , the writer from Diver Magazine ( Rob's friend) told me
about that same guy. He was the one who dropped down to 108 with Rob and
then boogied. He is also the one who went out on the boat the next day
and DID IT AGAIN, but of course the story we get from Chirs Parrot, who
is terrified that he will lose business after being threatened by the
usual suspect, is quite different, at least now. His initial blabbering
on Compuserve was pror tpo the threatening phone call. Maybe I should
repost that here to help Parrot with his amnesia. At any rate, the truth
about thes pieces of shit continues to come out, and everyone is
becoming increasingly aware that I was right all along. Also, the
extreme efforts by the idiots of diving to cause me problems has
backfired in their faces, and has not even begun to really come around
in full force the way it will. I did get the opportunity in the UK last
week to devote a solid ten minutes before a giant audience to explaining
this, after some of the idiots wrote their usual letters and even went
so far as to pull the fire alarm on Hans Hass, a real show of class by
the worst bottom feeding pieces of crap in this sport. But then more and
more people are coming to that realization. In case you do not know who
Hass is, he started diving and filming prior to the existence of scuba
as we know it, using ancient oxygen rebreathers and giant cameras. He
was the German "Cousteau" if you will, and his message is the same as
Cousteaus was - conservation of our resources. Some asshole friend of
the idiots pulled the alarms hoping to disrupt me, as I was on after
Hass, but all they did was piss of Hass, who let the rest of his tape
run in German. BSAC knew the score, and gave me even more time for my
message, which you all know. Trust me, I iced the idiots with some of my
best and most convincing technique - ask anyone who was there.
