If you did not know, Curt Bowen was present at the dives that were done 
with VBtech and Trey. Curt was diving a close DIR  gear configuration, but 
not DIR. He also did not have anything good to say about Brett G. and the 
way that Deep Tech went down, if I remember correct.
  I'm sure he is absent from posting because he is in the "Business" and 
for no other reason.
(You can correct me if you want Curt, I know your on this list) And BTW , 
"Best" is a word used by who is doing the judging, not everyone else. Just 
as some say I'm  one of the "Best" , others say "I'm an accident waiting to 
happen", truth is, there both right ;)

I missed it, I would have answered it, if it was worth answering. Things 
that makes Captains mad, are bring a bunch of gear and near using it, each 
diver brings the same back up stuff, a diver who brings gear he does not 
know how to use.
Every diver starts out as a techno-weenie, then they grow out of being a 
weenie, but some like you, never make it.

I like Cobb, we are friends, to say that Trey and me are friends , well 
lets just say we know each other. But I can answer for Cobb, he don't give 
a rats ass how many emails you get from the lurkers. Truth is everyone 
likes to see a good fight, but your still losing Mr. Black.
