Subject: Re: its about going deep george
Von, why don't you stop by GUE and straighten Jarrod out. I tried to
tell him that diving the Britannic in a drysuit was not the Von method,
and that since he was beyond 300, he should have had steels and a
wetsuit, a backwards bc, two bottom timers in case his arm got bit off
by a shark, etc.

Maybe you can come to a WKPP dive and tell me how to do more than a
"bounce" dive, since I have very little experience with the kind of big
bottom times you are doing, and show me about "exploring" and what I
need to do in the way of "modifications " to accomplish these feats,
short of the lobotomy is appears you forgot to tell us about.
