Весьма повеселился, думаю читающим по английски это будет интересно, навевает массу аллюзий
Отдельного внимания заслуживает такой незначительный факт: в команде USCDT участвовал человечек по имени Джон Зумрик (John Zumrick) собственно придумавший термин "Hogarthian way/путь Хогарта" и активно участвовавший в систематизации того, что потом получило название "конфигурация и философия Хогарта".
Ларри Грин, тоже упомянутый как участник USCDT - другой весьма примечательный человечек, настоящая легенда дайвинга, если не ошибаюсь, у него учился Андрей Чистяков.

I asked Elizabeth to fax me the missing pages fromn the Bill Stone
article where he criticizes the WKPP in UWS. She is doing that today ( I
received my magazine with the pages by B.S. removed.
The page that was left accused me of running a "cult of superiority
and infallability". It goes on to suggest that we can learn new systems
by joining with him.
I guess I could accuse him of trying to run a McHale's Navy, but the
sad truth is that this guy is as irresponsible as it is possible to be:
he has suggested doing things his way ( which has never been done
because it does not exist or work and he has no experience with this
kind of diving), is unnecessary if it did work, and is impossible since
the equipment to do it does not exist in any form other than an artist's
rendering .
This guy is a dangerous and delusional fantasizer who is suggesting
that I am doing it wrong while suggesting that my teammates contact him
privately so they can dive a rebreather which is not available for
training, and which has never been proven to work in the first place,
and which we all know better than to fool with by the benefit of our
eperience with these "systems" gained from the real courses we have
taken and the information made available to us from our Navy members
regarding the inherent problems with these devices.
The bottom line is that I know what I am doing, we know what we are
doing, we have the track record to prove it, and we will not be
subjected to danger and death by any pressure that Bill Stone puts on
the Government of the State of Florida with his promises and fancy
brochures. I will be glad to go to court on this one, anytime, and prove
that what I am saying is the way it is going to be:
The WKPP and its personnel will have absolutely nothing to do with
Bill Stone, John Zumrick ,Larry Green , Paul Heinerth or any aspect of
the usdct or its "systems" , programs , projects or anything other than
fishing their dead bodies out fo Wakulla should it come to that, and
that will be on a cash up front prepaid basis only, and only to prevent
further death once I have been proven right about these guys.
I am not fooling around with my life or the lives of my teammates,
and I will not have anyone who does not know what they are talking about
interfere with me in any way in this regard. I do not wnat to hear it
again from anyone , in any position, for any reason , at any time. Case
is closed. The WKPP is the WKPP and it will Do It Right , or Not At All.
