So, you now have more confidence in the W2 Project after one of their team
members is almost killed???

....and,  because you were able to watch them swim around for several days
in a cave system that is 1/5 the depth of Wakulla, and at this moment has
probably 20 times better viz than Wakulla, you feel better about their
success???

It is so hard for me, and almost useless,  to explain this to someone who
can't understand it already, but there is so much more to what we do than
expensive gear and maximum publicity. 
As far as the exploration dives go, I don't even have a full grasp as to
what it takes to do those.

What I do know....there is this thing called teamwork. I thought I had seen
teamwork on previous projects, but I have come to learn that was not near
what I have experienced with the WKPP. The people on this project are
absolutely amazing - AND, we are diving together, working together, and
communicating all of the time, year round. What about W2?  
 
The amount of time, work, effort, and money that is put into this project
by every single team member is phenomenal - and it is like this all the way
from the support to the exploration divers.

Those who have come down to see the team at work have seen first-hand what
goes into making this project work as well as it does. This project is
doing a lot of talking, but I don't think they will ever be able to grasp,
especially in three months, what it takes to make a team work together
well.
 
I am not making this a "controversy" of WKPP vs. W2, but I do want to make
it a point that being in my position, I work with everyone on the WKPP -  I
have the chance to see what goes into making a successful team, and I can
say without a doubt that they don't have what it takes to do it.

You can argue this all you want, and I really don't care - until you have
worked with a record-breaking cave-diving team, there is not a thing you
can say that will hold of shred of significance to me.

Sincerely,

Dawn Kernagis
