I'm not a Florida or a NE person since I live in Texas but I agree. Why
don't all of you respect each other's opinions and inquiries? I dive
caves AND wrecks and I suppose I'm a stroke for doing that, but I ENJOY
it!

	You are the perfect example of what is wrong with diving today.
Everybody but
	you is an asshole. where did you come up with that origonal
statement. You
	insult Kevin because you have no reasonable reply to his Email.
What has his
	profesion got to do with anything. He nevewr claimed to be a
comercial diver.
	Who are you to write off all of N.E. divers ??? some well
respected divers
	(like Deans) from your are have dove up here & can make an
informed opinion
	about us & our area. Deep ocean wrecks like the Carolina or
Republic usually
	kick Macho Fl cave diver ass whenever (not too often) they dare
venture north
	of the mason Dixon line.  Most of those diver go off to conyinue
to hate the
	N.E. Some learn from their experience, adopt some of our ways &
training.
	These people come back the following season to have a great
trip. These people
	are trully the Elite of your area. We rarely coment on you
caving technigues.
	We are not trained in them. How is it that you guys are experts
in N.E. Diving

	It is a natural human reaction to fear & hate what we do not
know or
	understand. This is similar to a childs irrational fear of the
dark. N.E.
	divers have seen the light & seek to learn what things you do
down there can
	be used up here. There are some fine divers & people in your
area, you are
	obviously not of that ilk. You call me fat slob with no knowlege
of me. you
	have never met or spoke with me, yet you are able to discern so
much about me.

	Come out of the dark into the light. Let go your fears & go
forth with an open
	heart & mind. your kind of influence on the internet could set
it back 10
	years in time.
