Tom, the investigator has this on tape. That is just one more of the
many problems with what happened. 

  As you know, Errol refused to let this guy teach this class off of his
boat when Mims' boat was broken, and that was a great call by Errol, and
his stature in my opinion goes only up and up with each demonstration of
his good judgement, which he has been criticized for by the usual
suspects.

  As you know, both Robert Carmichael and I went to this guy's shop in
the last few weeks to attempt to get him off of the track he was on, and
it did no good.

  As you also know, your long tall tale aobut this guy , who has never
in his entire life done a real dive, is whooey of the usual order. The
fact is this guy was an open water instructor, I know because I sent my
secretary to him for lessons which I bought her for her birthday along
with a set of dive gear, and she married him ( you have a short memory),
and then I sent him to YOU to learn the other stuff and become an
instructor at the request of his wife. I had never met the guy until
recently. I used him inadvertantly by sending her to Matt Stout , who is
a first class operator here in town, and one of the very few really
competent instructors .

  Derek's experience doing this is like most others around here -
limited to training dives. What realy pisses me off is that you, or
somebody else like you, told him that I do not know what I am doing, and
that my methods are "unorthodox". My track record stands in sharp
disagreement with that, and in stark contrast to yours and your
organization's.

  Claiming any prejudice on my part will not work in this case - it was
his wife who called my wife to get my number in Tallahassee to go find
the body at the original request of Alan Pelstring. My opinion , and I
know that means nothing to you, is that you need to ax quite a few of
your instructors, and send them to an organization where being a stroke
is highly regarded. I can think of one right now that had that market
cornered until this year.
