Kevin, I find it hard to understand why you cannot see the problem. I have 
always heard that those who are so loyal are often blind to the facts. You 
and I have had private emails before with never a hint of a problem.
I'm sure Tony and Janet are great people, but they are not leaders in the 
scuba diving world and do not represent the above average diver. They are 
just the opposite.
I hope that is not the very best the Wahoo can produce for a story. If so 
the boat is in worst shape than everyone says. If there are better divers 
on board who fit the role, why weren't they used in the story.
As for my long haired looks, I very much get a kick out of the hundreds who 
think I'm a dope head. In the last 20 years of working in the ship repair 
business, I get tested about once a month between that and my Capt.Lic. and 
have NEVER failed. I also do not drink, last year I had 3 beers at my 
cookout and was wasted.
If you wish to carry on with this, my post will no longer be of the kind 
type. I think this needs to be dropped because if you think your helping 
them by defending the gear or weight, your wrong. The longer you keep 
dragging this out the worst it looks on them. You have defended the boat 
and the Capt. , now let it drop before it gets out of hand.
