Great to hear from you!  ABC's coverage is amazing and what makes it all 
the more incredible is that the San Diego is shallow -- I hit 106 in the 
stern when I dove it; Alt Paltz tells me he has hit 111 in the bow.  

As much as I like the crew of the Wahoo, this is what ABC uses to 
illustrate a typical technical dive?  I did it in a wetsuit and an 80.  

It would be a lot funnier if it didn't feed into the "doing it wrong" 
model of tec diving that's keeping trimix out of Truk and Bikini.  


Best regards --

Bill
