The bottom line is who supported that crap and what the outcome was. The
USDCt had 90 days of perfect conditons and all of the toys they could
want allowed. The WKPP has to work around the Park and ends up being
able to dive maybe 6-8 times per year , and so far almost never when
conditions wer like they were for the usdct. 

In our time there we put in 50,000 feet of line, we did open circuit
dives to 11,000 feet, we did several between 5,000 and 10,000, we did
several rebreather dives from 10,000-19,000, and we did these dives all
in one day and were out in one day with results and no excuses or
blaming.

The usdct in it penultimate dive the last day of their failed project
was only able to finally get to where my setup team from two weeks ago
went to drop scooters for me and Jarrod. That is pathetic. Jarrod and I
and many members of the WKPP routinely dive well beyond their best
effort every time we are there, and in fact added line in A Tunnel the
fist day back in there after the usdct could to even get to the end of
that little tunnel. Most of their team got noplace at all , and the two
Brits who did the longest dive ( equal to one of our setup dives ) were
so strung out and so betting their lies to be heroes that it is a crime
that Stone was allowed to run a clusterfuck like this. That is pathetic.

The usdct left over 25,000 feet of cave unseen, and they were not able
to get to the end of a single conduit tunnel, only to the ends of the
springs which are all very short. Pathtic since we put most of those in
on open circuit up to teh 11,000 foot zone.

The usdct added about 1000 feet in a side tunnel off of B tunnel - an
air clear howling outflow spring , and were beating their chests over
that. JJ and I put that line in on a triple eight years ago, and have
not bothered with the spring tunnels since other than to film. The usdct
is calling that dive a "record". It is a record joke, like that whole
team and everyone associated with it. It is no mistake what birds are of
that feather. Pathetic - the only word that accurately describes any of
them.

The usdct said they could out gun the WKPP and do it better than the
WKPP and that their way was better than mine. I proved them so wrong,
and the fact is that my way works for everyone and works everywhere.
Theirs is bullshit and does not work anyplace, and they proved it in
spades, and they proved that all of the "mouths" out there have nothing
to bring to the table, and are therefor forced to lie about what they
did, which is what you will see in Vancouver - bullshit and lies, but JJ
will be there to correct it, and I might myslef fly up there just to
really make them miserable.
