Jim,

Your lack of factual information and your willingness to stick your neck out
on this is cracking me up chief!

As far as I know everyone involved is married, including Terry,  and most
have kids with the exception of myself (just divorced).  I could be wrong on
the count as there are a couple of new people this year I do not remember
meeting in the past.  But frankly I'm secure enough in my heterosexuality
that homosexuals do not scare me.  I realize that homosexuals are  a major
problem for those who are sometimes confused about their sexual orientation
and I try to be tolerant of what I perceive to be a character flaw as it is
especially prevalent south of the Mason Dixon Line.  I usually find that the
same people have problems with most other minority groups too.

It ain't so:  All divers use the same gas mixes, like last year, and I
believe without looking in my log book that they were 15/50, 32%, 50% and
O2.  Trimix in the doubles.  Air is shamelessly breathed on the surface.

To cover other topical issues: 2 chase boats are present, deco is drift, all
dives are limited to 25 minutes or less, deep & shallow support divers are
used as well as a surface dive manager.  I think the only problem you would
have is that some divers use OMS wings and we all must dive the same tables
developed by Dr Hamilton last year specifically for this site.  Finally, a
transportable chamber is also near where the boat docks.

I would also suggest before making yourself out to be a fool (which I do not
believe you are), you should check your facts before repeatedly shooting
yourself in the foot.  I hope that you realize that if you blow both feet
off you really will be dragging your knuckles when you walk.

Best personal regards, John
