Steve You have been around a long time, it is not my intention to totally smash your dick in front of everyone, so I will also smash mine at the same time as I do yours. We both have had the unfortunate trips were divers have lost their life. For me the hard one was a friend name Tai Wilkerson. When his body popped to the surface we had no idea what had happen. Before the stand by diver could get his drysuit zipped and his fins on, I had already jumped off the bow of the boat with a line in my hand, the water was 41 degrees, I had nothing on but sweat pants. It was a hard task for me to hold on to him as they pulled the rope with me while holding on to him, all kinds of instructions from the boat were being yelled, I did all I could. I could hardly hear them. Not even once was I able to hold his head up and still hold onto the line that pulled us up to the boat during the rescue attempt. I'm sure I was feeling the effects of hypothermia, but I was able to hang on long enough to get him to the boat and on the deck for CPR. I am not a very strong surface swimmer. At that time I was also very lean and had been going to the gym. Once I got on some dry cloths, I put myself in the rotation to preform CPR. For nearly 2 hrs we did this before the CG arrived. Once they took him the handful that was doing CPR was totally drained. Tai was dead....... His death, the accident, and the lawsuit are well documented in the archives. The dropping of that lawsuit can be seen on my site, it should never have been filed from the start. Personally I thought everyone did all they could, those that did do CPR for that long were in my mind heros, but the family, their lawyer, and even some on this list chose to call us something else. Now its your turn, please tell me why you chose to let Tony Mafatone dive that rig off your boat and die, who jumped in and pulled him to the boat, did they hold his head up, what was the crew on the boat yelling, do you even know. It is well known that a huge debate was going on this list the days before and the day he died about that rig he was wearing, I called it the death rig. How come every diver who saw him dive said he would die in that rig and you let him do it on your boat, why couldn't you see what everyone else could. Please explain yourself if you can...... You have a beef with the boat "Seeker", he is your main reason for reducing your Doria trips, he was taking your business away, that is the ax to grind for you and the reason you are saying what you are. Read what you yourself just wrote: ps: the captain and crew of any dive boat has the responsability and right to stop any diver from entering the water for any reason they see fit, from improper attutidude to you dont belong here and all the other reason in between, and you dont get any money refunded. captain steve bielenda At 11:44 AM 2/9/02 -0500, Wahoodiver@ao*.co* wrote: Capt.

The people who took this guy diving deserve everything they get, but it is important that dive operators have some protection from lawsuits, and that is usually where the waiver comes in. If you buy a beer because you saw in the commercials that all the guys who drink beer get the girls, but then instead of getting girls you become a drunk, do you think you should be able to sue the beer company? At some point people need to take responsibility for themselves, because if the law tries to do it we are all going to get screwed.
