Bill Gavin dove a yoke manifold. Bill, Lamar English, JJ and I all had the same color suit originally. It might be JJ or Gavin in the old days. Now we all use DIN. NHK did months of research on us and produced two shows - one is 53 minutes long and one is 110 minutes long. Both are in high definition, including film of us in the cave on high definition. They let us take the $600,000 cameras with us , and Ted Cole trained two of their guys to cave dive well enough that they were able to film do much of the that stuff themselves. Barry did a lot of it, and JJ and I did the stuff way back .. You will see the best cave footage that I have ever seen anywhere when this stuff comes out. We lit it up with a bunch of divers using arc lamps and hid's with high def, and it is spectacular. -----Original Message----- From: Metcalfe Kevin J COCA [mailto:kmetcalfe@ns*.na*.mi*] Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2000 7:52 PM To: 'trey@ne*.co*' Subject: Sport Diver magazine picture George, Okay, so shoot me, I read Sport Diver. But I did notice a short blurb this month about the Japanese TV crew filming the WKPP for Japanese TV. If you haven't seen it I can type it in, it's pretty short. But the reason I'm writing is the picture. It looks like the diver in the picture has a yoke valve on the right post of the manifold (from the divers perspective) . I can't see the other valve. I was under the impression that you guys only used din valves on your back tanks. I don't know who the diver was, but he had the same dry suit that you use (red top DUI TLS it looked like) and was breathing a G250 and using a Gavin scooter and had a couple of white stage bottles. I'm not trying to be a dick head, I'm just curious. I purposely didn't post this to techdiver because I didn't want Black to get his panties in a twist over it. FYI the article was complimentary of the WKPP safety record under your direction. On the other hand they had a cave diving article with a big picture of Tom Mount...
