OK, I'll play devils advocate here. Was this statement true almost ten years ago in 1989? If no one was diving this range for that amount of time back then, then it's a true statement. Kind of like when people said flying or going to the moon was impossible. Who knows maybe someday people will laugh about the statement that no one can travel faster than the speed of light, breath under water using surgically implanted gills..... I agree in correcting mistakes and mis information, just not in bashing for the sake of bashing.

This is well beyond the limits of what a diver could tolerate performing in- water decompression in the 69 degree F temeprature of Wakulla basin, even with the best available exposure suits."
