Stone writes in his new article in Deep Blithering Technoweenie Mag that "the reality of cave surveying today is that you end up with, at best, a line plot and field sketch." Hey Stone what else would you do, drag a 320-pound mapper and accompanying crane to the dive site to get some graphics on a big computer screen? The cave surveys today are inaccurate but reverse engineering a solution is not only foolish but ridiculous at best. What is even more ludicrous is to attach the thing to the front of an unproven dpv (named the fat man in honor of the many pizza stained slobs on the team, no doubt). Where else are you going to use this thing? Not too many caves this will be good for. I can't believe you got funding for this thing. You must be some kind sweet talker, what size knee pads do you where? Did you use the ten dollar phrase "subaquatic speleocartographer" in your proposal? One more question and I'll be through for a little while, how can you even think you'll be moving at 240 ft/min? Its obvious you haven't done many scooter dives or you would know how impractical it is to even believe you can get anyone on your team to move as a group through the cave at 240 ft/min. This article is almost as ridiculous as the Tony Maffatone Rig in one of the last issues. Extreme strokery sensationalized to the maximum. Keep up the good work.
