Capt Steve
The only real facts that are worth pointing out are that you are so caught 
up in the trash talk that you jumped at the chance to bash what you 
consider your competition, nothing more. You and your boat have been the 
subject of so many colorful stories and humorous postings that you have 
used much of your own web site to try and counter these defaming things. A 
waste of bandwidth.

The truth is, your a piece of History and nothing more. That is a very nice 
way of saying your a "has been"...... I doubt that you or your boat will 
ever see the days of exploration diving again. Now days the only GPS 
numbers you even need are to the "San Diego" and "Oregon".

The below is exchanges from the archives, notice the dates when you read 
them, 44288 is the one I changed the subject line to "death rig" that was 
Wednesday Aug 2, 2000 ring a bell?
Read what you wrote again and see if Tony or his rig fit anything in that 
statement.

Remember, it's not my intention to smash your dick in front of everyone, 
but you started this and I suggest that you turn the light on before trying 
to read what's wrote on the wall...... I am very thick skinned and you 
can't get to me, stop trying to cast them stones from the cheap seats, you 
haven't been perfect yourself. Answer this anyway you wish, I will not 
answer you again it is counter productive and clearly not good for you, I 
will let you post "one up" on me because you've been around so long,  even 
a wannabe Capt  can see that.

The truth is I once posted I would have also let Tony dive, I would have 
bashed him to his face so much he would have either quit, changed, or no 
new diver would try to copy him. Instead you tried to glorify him.

Do your last post and stay out of this, it does you no good.

Capt Steve<br>
The only real facts that are worth pointing out are that you are so
caught up in the trash talk that you jumped at the chance to bash what
you consider your competition, nothing more. You and your boat have been
the subject of so many colorful stories and humorous postings that you
have used much of your own web site to try and counter these defaming
things. A waste of bandwidth.<br>
<br>
The truth is, your a piece of History and nothing more. That is a very
nice way of saying your a "has been"...... I doubt that you or
your boat will ever see the days of exploration diving again. Now days
the only GPS numbers you even need are to the "San Diego" and
"Oregon".<br>
<br>
The below is exchanges from the archives, notice the dates when you read
them, 44288 is the one I changed the subject line to "death
rig" that was Wednesday Aug 2, 2000 ring a bell? <br>
<font face=3D"arial">Read what you wrote again and see if Tony or his rig
fit anything in that statement. <br>
<br>

the
captain and crew of any dive boat has the responsability and right to

improper attutidude to you dont belong here and all the other reason in
between, and you dont get any money refunded.<br>

Remember, it's not my intention to smash your dick in front of everyone,
but you started this and I suggest that you turn the light on before
trying to read what's wrote on the wall...... I am very thick skinned and
you can't get to me, stop trying to cast them stones from the cheap
seats, you haven't been perfect yourself. Answer this anyway you wish, I
will not answer you again it is counter productive and clearly not good
for you, I will let you post "one up" on me because you've been
around so long,  even a wannabe Capt  can see that. <br>
<br>
The truth is I once posted I would have also let Tony dive, I would have
bashed him to his face so much he would have either quit, changed, or no
new diver would try to copy him. Instead you tried to glorify him. <br>
<br>
Do your last post and stay out of this, it does you no good.<br>

Smash away; "if you can't stand the heat get out of the fire"
after forty two years of operating a dive boat I'm still around and the
"and the wanabes like you fade away".  You may think
you're my peer but your not, the closest to being my peer is a picture of
us together at BTS. <br>
       Your comments shows how little you
know about Tony death, if it enters into this discussion it only to
dilute this issue on the table, so be it. Let wait until the Maffatone CG
report comes out and it will have all the details so nothing gets twisted
like your trying to do with Murley death even with the published report.
Tony died from "equipment failure" not people failure. <br>
       First when Tony reached the surface
he was on the deck in less than two minutes, he was dead, fixed and
diluted pupils, no pulse his carotid arties were distended 3/8 inch from
his neck, puking a bloody froth. No CPR needed. By four minutes the CG
was on the radio. In twenty five minutes the CG was at my boat removing
Tony and taking the report. No body drowns him while trying to recover
him. Tony rig was different in configurations than conventional scuba but
he had tanks gas, regulators fins exposure suit, all the equipment to go
underwater. So what.<br>
The forum debates a lot of things so what. Facts are facts debates don't
count, facts count.<br>
<br>
Capt Jt statement; "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"<br>
<br>
Another great quote;<br>
"I met all the required paper work to do the dives," <br>
Your kidding aren't you Jt with this quote.<br>
<br>
<br>
Read the Murley CG report, two rescuers were dragging Murley to the stern
of the Seeker with his BC and suit inflated his head was underwater
someone from the boat jumped in and lifted his head from the water; he
was already drown by his rescuer. Didn't they notice he stopped yelling?
<br>
<br>
<br>
Let address the facts;<br>
<br>
1-Murley lied about his diving experience, well documented.<br>
2-Joe Jackson was his instructor the entire time, so he was well versed
with Murley experience and health and lying. He aided the lies<br>
3-Joe Jackson told Murley he couldn't go on the Doria trip just two week
prior to the ill fated trip, because they didn't have enough paying meat
to go.<br>
4-This is the reason Joe Jackson used Murley, money.<br>
5-Three weeks experience didn't t make Murley ready to dive the Doria. Oh
almost forgot this was a training dive for Trimix certification. Dan
Crowell said he only takes Trimix certified divers to the Doria?<br>
6-The Seeker scheduling 10 trips a years to boast he ran the most trips
so he took anyone who had the money. <br>
7-Crowell wanted to be know as the number one Doria dive boat, running
the most number of trips don't make you number one. Remember my quote
from Esquire magazine and Newsday, And  I was miss quoted "IF
IT TAKES FIVE DIVERS DEATH TO MAKE ME NUMBER ONE, I'LL BE NUMBER TWO
ANYTINE"  the miss quote  I said  "one
death"<br>
8- Your heroism is very admirable for diving in the cold water to recover
your friend's body when you were ill equip, it was stupid, and that only
would have made it two deaths and more paper work if you died also<br>
9-Request a complete copy (about 75 pages) of the USCG report on Murley
death read it it will answer every questions you and the others have made
about the CG investigator being over zealous. Even the CG can't stomach a
planned execution by stupidity and greed..<br>
10-Fact, Murley was drowned at the surface. Crowell was quoted first he
had a heart attack, when it came out he drown "this is not a diving
accident" he right it was a drowning.<br>
11- Log books didn't anyone on the Seeker read Murley log book? Guess
not,.<br>
12-<br>
<br>
I met all the required paper work to do the dives,<br>

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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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......<br>
<br>
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:<br>

John, I don't think you are being naive.  The people who took this
<br>
guy diving deserve everything they get, but it is important that dive
<br>
operators have some protection from lawsuits, and that is usually <br>
where the waiver comes in.  If you buy a beer because you saw in the
<br>
commercials that all the guys who drink beer get the girls, but then
<br>
instead of getting girls you become a drunk, do you think you should
<br>
be able to sue the beer company?  At some point people need to take
<br>
responsibility for themselves, because if the law tries to do it we=20
<br>
are all going to get screwed.<br>
