Well, we just had another death on an electronic rebreather. That is
three lately. Does anyone want to talk about this, are are we going to
continue to keep a Mafia-like "code of silence" to protect the desparate
hope of every misfit out there that they too can dive like the fishes
while not sleeping with them.

  I think it is time the WKPP hold a discussiion with the park on
letting the usdct go into that cave using electronic rebreathers. Here
is the problem: to do the body recoveries, we are going to have to
reinstall our equipment. I am not leaving it in there, and am not taking
off from work to get these guys out.

  I am also going to be extremely pissed off if our long term project is
in any way fouled up by these pretenders. At what point does reality
mean something? At what point does the bird in the hand look better than
the bird in the bush? 

  At what point does reality mean something? The reality is that
electronic rebreathers are the single most dangerous piece of dive
equipment ever dreamed up , and it is about time that somebody takes
note of the fact that the best in the business will not dive them, and
nobody in their right mind would dive them in a cave.
