George,

Interesting you told the boat you would never dive there again.  The captain, 
Mark, is a good friend of mine. The owners and managers are friends, and Ive 
captained boats for them.  They never mentioned it, nor did you mention it to 
me during the long discussion we had.  Actually, I recall you saying 
favorable things about the Inspiration, with the exception that the breathing 
resistance was too high for the long dives you do.  That seems more than fair.

 Your track record is indeed impressive, and, as I already stated, no one 
argues with that.  The post is the facts as I knew them and I felt it was the 
right thing to do, even though I hate typing and responding to attacks at 
this difficult time.

Everything I did was stupid?    I attempted to find and assist a diver who 
was not in my view for about a minute.  Have you ever not looked directly at 
you buddy for a minute or more?  Solo diving is indeed an increased risk, but 
it is a personal decission.  It is not against the law.  Would you like to 
see regulations on what you do?

My concern here has nothing to do with a debate on solo diving.   I agree it 
is an increased risk, as are rebreathers as you mentioned in another post.  
They are inherently dangerous. It has to do with the sensless attacks you 
make on the dead.

Your "enemies" are not enemies, they are only so in your mind.  They are 
humans and deserve to be treated as such.  

As for time, I'd think you'd agree that mine is also valuable, I have very 
little at this time due to the current circumstances.  As for money, the boat 
is being provided free of charge, and Ill buy your helium and O2.

Warm regards, Mike
