Terrence is a good guy, but he lied to my face and told me he was a SEAL too. Even worse, he told me he was a SEAL when I was talking to him about an abusive ex-boyfriend of mine who had claimed to be a SEAL - Terrence told me what to ask him to prove that he wasn't a SEAL (Terrence knew how to lie about it properly, apparently). It wasn't until a year and a half later that I found out for certain that both of them were lying, courtesy of someone from the website that busts phoney SEALs. I took my cave class right before Trey and I started dating. Actually, it was due to the planned cave class that I met Trey - I emailed Trey with a drysuit question (a drysuit that I was ordering specifically for the cave class and subsequent cave diving - unfortunately the drysuit didn't show up in time and I had to take the class in a wetsuit). I had already paid for the class and was scheduled to begin about a week and a half after I wrote Trey that first email. Terrence certified me, because he was all I knew at the time, but Trey (Mr. Irvine) is the one who taught me to cave dive. Every skill I now use I learned from Trey. My first dive after cave class, and the 150-200 cave dives following that were all with Mr. Irvine, with very few exceptions. The first thing Trey did was teach me how to do right all the stuff that I learned how to do wrong from Terrence, and fix all the gear that Terrence had messed up for me. Terrence is very cool in the water, very skilled as a diver, and a very nice guy, but a severe stroke when it comes to the deep air bullshit (which is really over the edge of stupidity) and the gear (which is horrifying - the first thing he did is put suicide clips all over my cave gear and it only went downhill from there), and he is a pathetic liar for the SEAL crap - that was just a really dumb mistake for him to make and I have no idea why he started that when he could have just spoken of whatever involvement he had with them, if he wanted to mention it at all. The reason I did not say something before is because I have nothing against Terrence as a person, despite his strokery and lies. But, since you insisted, there you have it. --pina -----Original Message----- From: John Ivanic [mailto:john.ivanic@sy*.ca*] Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 5:46 PM To: techdiver@aquanaut.com Subject: TNT I really don't know why everyone is trying to slam Terry Tysal... especially irvine, hey all Terry taught Pina cave diving...I was there in Florida when it was taking place... too bad Pina had not said something..... irvine you are such a two faced idiot.... life is too short so quit being a dick...
