To: techdiver@aquanaut.com Okay George; I've about had it with your fucking lies. For the record Jonathan Gol did not die of any "massive brain hemmorage" or any other medical condition. Your assertion that Jonathan was "on leave" from diving with the team is also crap. I have first-hand knowledge that he was asked to and was planning on participating in your approaching dive weekend. Also his best friend and personal physician told me in person that Jonathan had been "released" to resume diving by the specialists who had treated him earlier in the summer for his ailments. All that crap you posted on Quest was a bunch of lies designed to protect you and your project from criticism. Everybody in the know realizes that Jonathan's death was brought on from breathing 100% HELIUM while at his deco stop and we are just awaiting the final test results from the NEDU before discussing this publicly. Jonathan was a dear friend of mine who made the terrible mistake of temporarily transferring helium into an aluminum 40. He went so far as to marking the bottle "100% HE / 500 psi" with duct tape. But he ignored the markings while on this fatal dive. These are all facts which can be confirmed by the Jackson County Sheriff's Department. What is even sadder is that YOU feel compelled to lie about all of this in order to protect your "perfect safety record" which we ALL know is a joke. I can admire your team accomplishments and the strides that have been made, but to say that there haven't been bumps along the way is senseless. Jonathan was a fine human being and a skilled and accomplished diver. Why can you not admit that he made a mistake and let us all learn from that?
