OK, time to come clean.  The wkpp safety record is in fact abysmal.  Here
are some of the injuries I have sustained that I was pressured to omit from
dive reports.

-On nearly every dive, my thumbs have nicks from the stage bottles.
-On one Wakulla dive I got a hamstring cramp that was sore for TWO days.
-Sometimes my drysuit neckseal leaves my neck chafed
-On most dives I have mask ring on my face after the dive.
-I once tripped on the stump at the waters edge and stubbed my toe.
-Recently, I pulled a muscle in my back loading my truck that took 3 Advil
to cure.
-I have noticed significant hair loss since I began diving Wakulla.  The
connection is obvious to even the most casual observer.
-After my last 11 hour dive at Wakulla, my left knee was sore until my
steak was served that night.  Some people claim that was just to get the
support guys to load my truck, but that is not, repeat not true.
-I always geta headache reading e-mail from Chris Brown.

Yes, confession is good for the soul.
