Tod, I have a picture of that asshole Bill Stone with a circle around it and line through it that the US Navy Fed Exed to me at Wakulla Lodge the day of one of those dives. There is also a note telling me not to forget to pack my scrubber, and one from Chris Werner telling the surface manager to leave his doubles leaning up against the tree next to my van so he could use them later that night to do the cleanup dive. He had already added line in B Tunnel on his first dive. Werner, the Rat and Ted Cole did that double dive. Oh, yeah, there is a page from the survey book where we added almost a mile of line with the words "Triple This" written across it.
