Case, Jarrod and I could not do that dive or any other dive thwe way
these morons do it. What I am saying is that I COULD NOT physically dive
with the bullshit that these guys use, the methods they use, the logic
they use, the teamwork they use, the crew they use, or anything else.
What amazes me is how many live, not how many die. These people are as
stupid as it is possible to be in every last little way, yet they have
the manipulative skill to take high end bright people and lure them to
their deaths.
I personally would like to see a good lawyer come in here and blow some
of these sleezy dive operators and instructor organizations out of the
water.
