Again you can't tell the truth, you don't like me because I keep exposing 
you and I won't keep my mouth shut. You didn't get the tape from the boat 
Capt one of your minions stole it and because you made a big deal over it 
on this list I said I would make it available to everyone and it is 
http://www.capt-jt.com/vbtech_dvd.htm  the only thing different is the text 
was corrected, the music changed,and another dive to 380ft added to it.
And you dickhead I was just in FL diving with the same Capt 2 weeks ago, 
you dumbass, you can never tell the truth can you.
The only reason I keep exposing GUE faults is because you keep trying to 
use them against me or wave their flag and they aren't perfect. In fact the 
only problem we had on the dive was with a Halcyon Liftbag that failed and 
you guys said I sent it up from to deep, imagine that.....a liftbag that 
needs a depth rating and then was later found to have a malfunctioning 
relieve valve. George all you are is a salesman and damage control officer 
on these list for your buddy JJ.
