Two things - one, I skimmed the link you sent on that dive and of course all the usual elements of stupidity are present: solo diving, diving without bailout, convoluted CF dive plan, and the ever present ridiculous decompression, and two, what does any of this have to do with GUE???? GUE is a training agency. I am the one who said the Buddy is a piece of crap, I am the one who said you guys continue to be clueless as to any shred of common sense in its use, and I am the one who you need to try to take on with regard to diving "accomplishments", if you think that is some worthy measure. I know you don't want to get into track record for that or for safety, as then you don't look too good. GUE attempts to teach good diving practices, while you guys represent the absolute antithesis of that. As far as GUE projects, maybe you should watch the TV shows of their Britannic expedition that they did a few years ago. The dives that revealed the sought after information were conducted and filmed by WKPP divers Jarrod Jablonski, Ted Cole and Barry Miller, who have done dives in their careers that nobody with any CCR has ever been able to touch. GUE is a new organization that takes what we have learned and developed in the WKPP and makes it available outside of the WKPP. Nobody else on the planet has contributed anything like what we have to the sport. Nobody. If you are merely like every other ignorant moron out there who wants to take a shot at those who try to do things in a sensible fashion, you need to take me on , not GUE. I do have an opinion, and my opinion is backed up by a level of skill, experience, knowledge and expertise that you and your wannabe buddies will never reach, and you know it, so you turn and try to criticize an organization and people who have nothing to do with my opinion since you think that somehow this will vindicate you or make you look good, or at lest garner some sympathy among the strokes out there. -----Original Message----- From: Bill [mailto:bill.johnstone@te*.ne*] Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2003 11:59 AM To: techdiver@aquanaut.com Subject: Inspirational All this talk of inspirations recently ~ Have you seen this: http://www.ukrs.org.uk/ukdiver/inspiration.html ~ from people that actually know what they are talking about. what about all these expeditions using Inspirations: http://www.deepblu.co.uk/gallery/carpathia01.htm at 500feet for 20 minutes. and http://www.trimixdivers.com/Navigate.do recent dives on the Niagra in New Zealand. I guess we will read about GUE guys doing these dives in 4-5 years time after everyone else has moved on... Bill -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
