The argument that a boat captain is just the "bus driver" is the epitome of
stroke thinking. Rule Number One says, "Don't dive with strokes", Option
Number One says, "Don't dive" ( if the conditions are not right). Diving on
the Seeker is a direct violation of all of the principles of DIR.This list
has turned into a touchy feelie forum for some of the worst deviations from
the basics of DIR that I have ever encountered anywhere. I see some of you
can see my message while most of you have completely missed the boat. You
are not going to teach pigs like Danny to sing, and claiming there are no
other options is like staying at the bar until 3:00 am and going home with
the fat lady. If the bar is full of fat ladies, you don't need to be there.
Figure it out. NE wreck diving is the bottom of the barrel, and it is the
fault of you people who don't have the freaking balls to do anything about
it. I don't want to hear about how some obvious moron is the best choice
for doing stupid things.

DIR is a little more than breathing the long hose.

DIR means you do not participate in Star Wars Bar Scenes like what takes
place on the Seeker. It means you don't dive on one boat because you
perceive it as just as bad as the rest. It means you get it right or don't
go. DIR means you do not deal with an "every man for himself" operation. It
means yo do not make excuses for an idiot like Danny who has the worst
track record in diving. It means you wake the F*** up and recognize that
anyone with the string of accidents, incidents, deaths, CF's and nonsense
that this operation has displayed is not doing anything right, and that the
whole attitude and mentality of this operation is what is fostering the
results it so obviously is getting.

Any idiot can see that. Anyone who wants to tell me how tough they are and
how they will fend for themselves in a situation like this is a complete
moron. You don't know what tough is. Tough is having the balls to tell
idiots like this what they are , treat them that way , and not patronize
them. If any of you want to come on down here an show me how tough you are
in the water and how you can "handle it", I will prove to you that you can
even scratch the surface of tough. Maybe that would take some of the BS off
of the stroke argument. I believe Andrew and Kane already have proved this
to some of the biggest loudmouths up there.

DIR means the dive gets planned out properly from start to finish. I means
that ridiculous nonsense is not allowed. It means that there are
contingencies in place and procedures to deal with situations. It means
that the 'personal preference" of the complete jerks that frequent the
Seeker are not even remotely considered as legitimate.  If you get arrested
for violating the law, an ignorance claim is no excuse. If somebody like
Danny is doing stupid things, ignorance is no excuse. There is a right and
wrong, and this guy is wrong in every respect.

Why the hell do you people think diving is so important that you have to
deal with an idiot like this?

I can see that the people I know who are squared away, like Waldbrenner and
other hard core players see it my way, and I can see that the usual
suspects do not see it my way. I will bet this list is jammed with idiots
who would love to get on here and argue this with me but do not have the
nerve to be made asses of , which is all that can happen when you are dead
wrong and do not have a leg to stand on.

The Seeker is and has always been the bottom of the barrel in this game,
and I have said that all along.
