Mike I tried to give you an easy out and drop this, but you are to stupid to let it go. Truth is there is some confusion here and the fact that you were trying to keep it under wraps spells something. The fact is you beat your chest every chance you get and I have told to stop posting those clean trip reports. Now it has bite you in the ass and your ego can't take it. If there was nothing special about this then how many have you had...... If it was not a NOAA dive then why is there a NOAA report. You could have defused this whole thing from the start, but now the rumor mill is flying, your just lucky that guy made it.
