--=====================_7146542==_.ALT Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed I will only answer you this once, after that you just try and turn these things into a shouting match. Funny how I can write about a dive and only the truth comes out in it. Just like I told the old short guy....make what you want of it. Also you want everyone to watch a TV show that leaves out the accident. Lets put the facts out there. That team was hand picked, the so called "dream team of diving", yet with all the planning, ect. ect. a diver still got bent like a pretzel, I did not hear or see it in the show or have anyone post from the trip that it happened and later another diver from the team would die diving solo in a cave. These are just the facts. It is really great that GUE forces their instructors to have good basic skills and even requires them to do a few real dives a year . But to have good enough skills to become a GUE instructor is not enough to handle the extreme stress of a 500ft dive, this was found out in the accident that was reported on techdiver ( http://www.aquanaut.com/bin/mlist/aquanaut/techdiver/display?54330,from )of the GUE instructor his name was on this post and buddy who either panicked or had a RB problem at depth, bolted, and got seriously bent. I hear there was no mention of this on quest, was there a cover up so not to rattle the following? I give you permission to show my 490ft dive tape(since you have a stolen copy) to all GUE instructors so they can see how a 2 man team does that dive and no one gets hurt, they may have good enough skills to be the best instructors, but at least one had trouble surviving a real dive. I hear you have been bashing Andrew over on quest pretty good, we all know none of those GUE instructors will stand up to you. They depend on doing diving instruction as a living and understand that when you shake that money tree on these lists it will effect their income. I have met a lot of these guys and they are just normal guys trying to make a buck. I do not make a dime off of diving and nothing you can do or say will effect me. So standing up to you is just the right thing for me. When I call someone a "weenie", I'm right on the mark........ The last diver I called that on this list which was over a month ago has come and dived with me, he had 75 logged dives and is no match for me or anyone in our group. He was actually better than I thought he would be. Nice guy, he just will need a lot of dives and work to get where he wants to be. So where does all this take us.........the fact remains and will always remain as long as people place their heads underwater someone will die, even the best will have a problem sometime, getting them to admit it or that it has happen is a hard thing to do . I have yet had to go to a chamber, no one has died on any trip I am in charge of. To my knowledge few have done more sub 300ft wreck dives than me. I only know a few divers who are more tougher underwater than me in the conditions I dive in. And you ain't one of them, I saw how that 53 degree water kicked your ass here on a 140ft dive. Stick to the clear warm water in them caves and you will remain at the top and can beat your chest. I know you are going to blast a reply, I wouldn't expect anything less, but don't expect a reply from me. BTW do you plan to have a recall on the wreck scooter so you can install the right clutch at no cost that should have been installed in the first place.

Once everyone made the move away from the bridge I was= at the rear and checked my gas(I was the only one using the same tanks from= the first dive and they were less than full when we started, I had gave my= second set of doubles to Tom to use). I had reached my turn pressure and= returned to the bridge, vis was so bad they were not aware of this and I= chose to remain close to the up line and just inspect the bridge to= conserve gas. They returned with excitement in their eyes having run the= line to a white picket fence that surrounds the camp which has stone= pillars at the entrance and can be seen in the video, the reel was left on= the fence for who ever goes next to run the line into the camp house which= should be just inside.<br> <br> <dd>Jackie and Charlie were tasked to take down a permanent line and chain= it into the bridge that would be left for future dives, a keg was placed on= the line 20ft under the surface and GPS coordinates were taken. <br> <br> <dd>I will show the video at the VBtech meeting on Thursday and place photos= on my site as soon as I can.<br> <br> <dd>Hope you have enjoyed this report=20 <dd>Capt JT <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <dd> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <dd>"You can't learn to dive on the net, sooner or later you have to= get in the water"<font color=3D"#0000FF">=20 <dd>Your Guide to Great Wreck Diving along the East Coast & more=20 <dd> Web Site <a href=3D"http://www.capt-jt.com/"= eudora=3D"autourl">http://www.capt-jt.com/</a>=20 <dd>Email captjt@mi*.co*</font>=20 </dl><br> <br> <br> <br> "You can't learn to dive on the net, sooner or later you have to get in= the water"<br> <font color=3D"#0000FF">Your Guide to Great Wreck Diving along the East= Coast & more <br> Web Site <a href=3D"http://www.capt-jt.com/"= eudora=3D"autourl">http://www.capt-jt.com/</a><br> Email captjt@mi*.co*</font></blockquote><br> </blockquote><br> <br> "You can't learn to dive on the net, sooner or later you have to get in= the water"<br> <font color=3D"#0000FF"><u>Your Guide to Great Wreck Diving along the East= Coast & more <br> Web Site <a href=3D"http://www.capt-jt.com/"= eudora=3D"autourl">http://www.capt-jt.com</a><a= href=3D"http://www.capt-jt.com/" eudora=3D"autourl">/<br> </a>Email captjt@mi*.co*<br> <br> </font></u></html> --=====================_7146542==_.ALT-- -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
