To add to what Kevin said, I have dove on the Wahoo for 5yrs. now. Too this day I am still impressed with the crew, vessel and especially Capt. Janet Biesser. Her diving skills and watermanship are top notch. If any of you so called tech divers ever feel compeled to come aboard the Wahoo to dive the San Diego or the Oregon feel free. I am sure that your adolescent and immature insults and comments will change to praise. Janet's boat handling skills are by far the best that I have ever seen, I know that I feel absolutely safe and comfortable on the boat. I can't thank Janet and Steve Belinda enough for what they have taught and are still teaching me. They both have made me a much better diver. As for Tony Maffatone, he takes his ideas, puts them on paper and makes them work. Everything he builds is from his own design. This whole thread really shows ZERO intelligence from this list. A proper apology is definitely in order. John A.

I can personally attest to her physical srength, she has a habit to lifting divers in full gear by her self to aid them in getting on the boat; i am not talking an assist, but fully into the air with one hand. She is also extremely skilled in boat handling and a very nice person. If anyone has further questions about her I would be willing to foward my phone number. Tony Maffatone and his rig speak for itself; I would not attempt to defend it. IT is like the Empire state building, a local landmark that should probably not logically exsist and yet somehow does. I will say this: he is no michael J black. And yes most on this list should be able to swim the san diego on an 80 for 20< i know i could> but that would be a short dive and in low to moderate vis not exactly an enjoyable one. It is also interesting to note this latest assault on the Wahoo comes during their annual offshore doria charters, so their replies are persumably two weks away.Classy guys real classy.
