Hello Ray First let me say you did a good job making the tape and it was nice to watch ,the dive in which the bait fish were all over the wreck was picture perfect and the big Jew fish was a hit with everyone.I have several questions about the dive and things I saw on the tape . As you said you were from the north and had dove in New Jersey ,you claim that it is much easier to dive down there and we both know that is true.You are correct when you said that it is so easy that you forget how deep you are. My first question,what was your plan had someone not sign the slate going up ,you should know that would not work up here and I saw that not every diver had a lift bag and reel.There are so many things wrong with that way it is unthinkable to say all the things that could go wrong.Please help me understand as I think a permanent line to the wreck is the way to go or the mate goes down at a predetermined time and pulls the hook after counting the people to see that they all are on the line and all should be on jon lines during deco,being on a jon line may have even saved Jane down there even with all the excessive gear she had on her. Why was it 6years before you went to the bottom and found the stack. Why did at one point during the tape you said that a diver was going on his travel mix ,that depth does not need that. Mind that I'm not trying to give you a hard time ,but a chance to enlighten me.Those who know Jim and me will be quick to tell you we butt heads on alot of things ,but we both agree the dive should be a cake walk if done correct and that means if the current is so bad then wait for it to die down ,the boat there will not let you do that I'm sure as they do half day trips.If that is why you dive it anyway then get the boat for the whole day , for two dives .If the current is so strong you simply do not dive it ,go to another site or wait.Lets face it the wreck is only a half mile out of the inlet .I hope I have not offended you and look forward to your answers.
