I have recently finished reading Gary Gentiles Lusitania books one and two.In some of the chapters he tells the history of some of the Doria deaths and a certain confrontation that he , Billy Deans , and John Moyer had with Janet Bieser .I will not repeat it on this list , but I found the exchange of words disturbing.Someone tell me it didn't happen! In the book it also tells how on his first trip to the Doria , Billy Deans had to leave his dive buddy who was tangled in cables to seek help and the diver ( John Ormsby )did not live.As I have seen those on this list pull Billy Deans name out of there pocket like a gun , and also turn around and say the Andea Doria is an easy dive and boast about Deans safety record as a dive boat operator, I bet if you would have ask Billy that day what he thought of the AD , his answer may have been, " Its the most dangerous dive I ever done".There is nothing Billy Deans could have done to save him , but the horror of it will last all his life I'm sure , The wreck is paging number 13 for the summer of 2000.Bottom line is you can't always blame the buddy or the Capt. and crew.The minute you put your head underwater , it has become unsafe.
