Again, what happens when .....etc. The boat needs to be free, not jerking up and down with fat slobs gripping the anchor line decoing their titties off. An ascent lihne - as in uno, one, a single freaking line, oh ,but wait,I forgot, you guys can't use compasses, current, etc. to navigate, and we all know that to try to teach any of you higher order concepts like port an starboard , bow and stern, the fact that a ship under water is still a ship while you are sucking air or strokemix is out of the question, that expecting a bunch of ponitificating know it alls to actually plan out their dives and stagger them is out of the question, to expect there to be safety dives or crew to check on the decompressing divers is out of the question, and to do anything that makes any sense what-so-ever by is out of the question. This is why you guys dive up there and we do not. This is why so many people who do make the mistake of going there get killed - you guys just do not kave a single clue about the simplest things. Forget the diving, we have not even gotten to that yet. What do you guys do when you go into a building or ride a subway - do you dial 911 and have the fire department come get your retarded asses out with a helicopter, or do yo carry a parachute and just jump out the window? This is the stupidest nonsense I have ever heard of. I still am trying to figure out how we dive all over the Bahamas, in places where you can not see land from a tuna tower if it had the Trade Center on it, on reefs and walls as that run for hundreds of miles, in ripping REAL currents, not the bullshit winddrift you strokes are lying about, and don't seem to have the clsuterfucks that you guys have on a regular basis. The Jersey Jerk Reel is an accomodation to air diving, stupidity, strokery, screwups and is a monument to institutionalized clusterfucks, which is the specialty of New England Wreck diving , where clusterfuck is the norm.
