"James", does the use of a fake Yahoo account mean you are just trying to
be an asshole and don't have the balls to do it with your real name, or am I
all wrong here and you just want to learn something?

  Let me assume that you are not a low life moron like JT and that you want
to learn something. In that case, "James", let me point you to WKPP.org and
read my articles on decompression, and pay special attention to the one
called "Why we don't bounce dive in the WKPP". Once you have read that, then
come back to this message and read about Ted.

  Ted went to check out a sinkhole with a short staff and did a quick cave
dive which he actually aborted due to the cave collapsing ( not a regular
occurrence). After he got out of the water and was putting his gear away, he
realized that he had left one of his deco bottles in the sinkhole. He put
his doubles back on and bounced down to get it. A few minutes after he got
out, he got nailed with a CNS hit. He should have sent a support diver, but
did not have any who had not been diving already, so he should have come up
very slowly to prevent this, but he just blew it off. I would have left the
bottle myself and got it next time.

  I insisted he do a few oxygen rides in the chamber until there were no
more symptoms or after effects present, see a doctor that I recommended for
further treatments, get another PFO test, and sit out for a couple of
months, all of which he did. Luckily, he suffered no permanent damage.

  Again, since I know you did not read my stuff, go to WKPP.org to
understand what the mechanisms are here. If you still want to be an asshole,
let me assure you that you are dealing with the right guy to take you apart.

  Ted Cole is one of my best divers in the WKPP. He is so far beyond
anything that is out there that it is ridiculous. I have done some extremely
difficult dives with Cole. He has done a record dive with me and JJ. He did
two 300 foot one hour bottom time dives in one day with a four hour surface
interval with no problems when we needed him to get the cave cleaned up
before we had to be out in the middle of the night. He does and did our most
difficult set up dives, like a 10,000 foot at 300 placement of scooters for
me and JJ with his team. I sent him on one set up dive where he looked at my
map and placed gear further into the cave than the USDCT got in 90 days of
trying. He is a cave instructor - one that you could only hope to get as
your instructor.

  However, as per the usual with the clowns out there, all this makes him
the kind of person that all the do nothing dive instructors bitterly resent
and a target for attacks by shit like Captain Clusterfuck who is a pathetic
joke relative to Cole, and a target for anonymous pussies who have to take
their petty little personal problems out on the higher order players.

  When this happened, quite some time ago, I discussed it publicly and used
it to show my team and others in our circle of influence how a simple trick
like this kind of bounce can end up being worse than any other kind of hit.
You dumb asses think DCS is a big mystery and a stigma. I really do not
expect the petty peevers of the world to get it, I do expect them to keep
attacking my friends, and so you can expect me to stick it right back in
your faces.

  Is there anything else you would like to hear about, "James"? Are there
any other stories being whispered by the disenfranchised out there that need
me to clear up for you? Anyone else out of your league that you want to
attack?

I'd like to know more about Ted Cole's DCS incident though.
