Com Subject: [wkpp] Casey taking over as Project Director I have asked Casey to take over as Director of the WKPP. He has done a great job as Project Coordinator, and is the best person for the job of Director. I will not be involved going forward with running any aspect of the Project, and as such will vacate my seat on the Board of Directors. As most of you may be aware, my father asked me some time ago to retire from the bond business and come into business with him. He has since made me President of his holding company, and more recently turned over the entire operation to me while he himself has little involvement in the business anymore other than teaching me what he knows and responding to my requests for advice, when I can even get him to come into the office at all. He is 76 now, and both he and my mother have health issues that could have been disastrous for the companies had something happened to him without this change having taken place. I was not expecting such a quick transition, and have assumed a responsibility and competitive challenge beyond anything I have ever experienced before. I have hundreds of employees depending on me, and a position in our industry that leaves me nowhere to go but down if I am not totally on top of my game. I can no longer take the time to participate in any meaningful way with the Project, and as such am not at all up to speed on who is who or what is what, and can not make good decisions from that platform, if indeed I can even show up to dive. Casey can and will. I would hope that all of you will give Casey the degree of cooperation that you gave me, and can assure you all that he is a lot harder and tougher than I am , and would not suggest putting him to the test. I used to get pissed and yell and scream - he does neither, he just acts. The scooter thing is a full blown business for me now, so any help I can provide there will be forthcoming as always, but the diving related stuff I will not have time for. Everyone should be on the same page with all of this now anyway, and you all certainly have a template from the vast experience of the WKPP from which to operate without asking me about it. On the scooters, Pina is setting up a list to discuss issues and answers as far as the mechanics of these devices. For procedural issues, the WKPP has that down cold. I will try to keep some diving involvement, if only for the fun of it when I can, and Pina of course loves the Project and has the time to dive and be otherwise involved. In reality Casey has been doing all the work while I have only done a handful of dives with the Project in the last couple of years, and all of those were with Jarrod or Casey, so I am not exactly doing anyone any good as far as teaching anyone anything and certainly will not be missed in that regard. One good thing about this is that those who hate me in the diving "community" will not have me to complain about, and certainly without me to focus on, there is no consensus against the WKPP to drive any threats to the longevity of the Project. The WKPP is the pinnacle of diving - please keep it that way for your own sakes, and for the sake of all whom you would influence by your example.

| Re: King George resigned from WKPP? |
Hmmm I always wondered a couple things about the Sheck death....and though its been awhile..... I read many a detailed account of Shecks deeper record setting deep dives (vs horizontal cave penetrations).... First, if you read his accounts of these dives its obvious his allotment of "spare air" to deal with problems was darn short....in other words that little extra in the tank wasnt gonna last very long time wise at say 600 feet on open circuit scuba... which reminds me of something Ive never liked about the 1/3rds rule of cave diving as popularly stated....some extra air at a shallow depth and you can probably deal with minor "emergencies"...not so at "deep depths"....Ive always thought that the rule should be more explicity stated: 1/3 of y, where y = total air - x, where x equals the amount of air required to last z minutes at max depth and z minutes is some decent length of time to deal with a reasonable emergency...say 15 minutes...YOMV... Anywho.....looking at his air consumption plans.....I wondered why he didnt even do something as simple as a constant mass addition rebreather.....even a REALLY crappy one dumping a ton of gas into the system probably woulda given him 10 times more time at depth (not that he woulda wanted to use it unless hereally needed to....but it beats RUNNING outa gas......) Now, if you look at his goals for the final dive.....and then look at how he did it, it still doesnt make sense....and lets ingore the fact that he was solo...thats a whole other can of worms.... He had 2 basic goals.....perhaps.....reach the bottom and/or set a new depth record...now you can question the wisdom of this/these goals but again there is something I never "liked"..... He pretty much carried all the gas he need for the deep part of descent/ascent ON him....he had stages tied to the line for the deco up part of the ascent Now remember, this is a big open cenote with a line just going straight to the bottom.... If it had been me.... (yeah right), in addition to a buttload of gas ON MY PERSON.....I woulda had another buttload or 2 of gas/tanks/regs attached to the main descent line or perhaps another adjacent line just a few horizontal feet away.....hell....have a tank staged every 50 vertical feet or so.... Maybe it wouldnta helped in this situation.....but beside the cost of doing this it sure wouldnta hurt anything..... take care Blll |

Any rebreathers on the market then were death traps.....The real issue, which you raise, is that this was too deep for open circuit---it was a foolish dive.

Karl, This is where my Tequila analogy plays well. What is the "limit" of human ability to consume mass quantities of Tequila? Can you chug 3 bottles, or can you chug 5 bottles, prior to passing out and potentially dieing of alcohol poisoning? What is this human endurance limit? If the human endurance limit has nothing to do with issues important to mankind, then its probably not even as smart as proving you can chug 4 bottles of Tequila ( there are at least alot of "drunks" that would feel this is relevant to mankind--their version of mankind). Society sets the limits of human performance that are "meaningful to society". People can choose the limits that are important to themselves, individually. Karl, you are free to choose whether the human endurance limit you want to test ( and be "famous" for ) is drinking, nose picking, farting louder than any other human, strapping yourself to a canon ball and being shot farther than any other person, or maybe just being acknowledged to be the most obnoxious person anyone has ever met. Maybe you would like to be famous for having taken the longest shit. If society does not see a value to the new limit or boundary you have set, then your death defying feat will have jeopardized your life without having any chance of "allowing" you to be famous---because society would not care. On the other hand, there may be family members that would suffer terribly if you died in this quest to push boundaries---and this would be an even greater shame if the boundary you were pushing could not, in any way, ever be recognized as being helpful to mankind----OK, maybe "some" people would worship you if you died taking the longest shit any person ever took....But would it be worth it Karl---the suffering this could bring in to the people that care about you....the point being here, the suffering which occurred in the hearts of the people who cared deeply about Sheck, after a meaningless death....meaningless to society. If an astronaut dies, society thinks its a tragedy, but it was part of an attempt to allow humans to expand out into space---so in a death, an astronaut could become a hero...... If Karl dies trying to fart louder than any man ever before him, the societal value of this will NOT make Karl a hero---it will make a sad story about a man who was dangerously mis-directed. And of course, it will be a sad story about a man who did not smell very good ..... Sheck dying on a 1000 foot deep open circuit attempt could not have ever helped any future penetration into cave, piping, or society critical mission. It makes no more sense than dying while trying to show that the limits of human endurance for deep air could be--say, 600 feet deep in a 4 mph current over a reef---this would have zero meaning, because it would always be stupid to dive this deep on air, and there would always be better ways to dive this deep if a reason existed to dive this deep.

I'd rather talk about what is "DIR" for recreational divers--here on rec.scuba.... 1.) Your mission ( DIR objective) is to have as much fun as possible on each dive. 2.) In order to achieve this, there are a number of related goals it is wise to strive for as well: a. ) On whatever fun dive you are "planning", make sure you really "plan" the dive. b.) Make sure your gear is "appropriate" for the dive, and that you won't be "pushing the limits of human endurance" in order to survive the dive you are planning, with your present equipment. c.) Talk to other divers before going out on the boat, and try to find someone who shares your interest in the type of fun dive you want to do, and who shares your ideas on the "safe" way the dive should be planned and executed........ ( sorry about that executed word, I was still thinking about Bowden). d.) Before you dive with a new buddy, discuss your methods of underwater communicating, what will cause a dive abort, when the dive should be turned, and how you would handle most common problems this particular dive could offer up to you. e.) If you get paired with someone you don't know, and their tank is dragging below their butt--almost ready to fall out of the band, and their octopus is stuffed deep into a pocket where they might need 2 minutes to get it out--or if it is just flailing around with no way to predict its immediate location during a dive-----or they are configured and pre-inflated like a puffer fish---then I suggest you inform the dive boat captain that this is NOT a person you will be willing to buddy with. If you are paying money to dive on this boat, you don't deserve an "albatross around your neck". And if you resemble this person I just re-created, consider watching more TV, and considering diving as "too much work to be fun for you" ;-) Or...... if you resemble this person, and your name is Karl, don't worry, the tank is fine, your buddy won't be counting on you for the octopus anyway--so don't sweat it.....and you probably need a lot more weight---I'd bet the boat captain ( if you're Karl, you could be the boat captain...) will let you borrow the anchor--just tie it around yourself a few times with granny knots :-) I'm just kidding here---I'd rather see Karl live a long life full of watching TV, and in contributing to rec.boats where his sly wit can be best enjoyed :-) Karl, I've heard you are really missed there !

Every time you dive, you're beyond the limits of human capacity. That's why we need equipment in the first place. It is a good idea to have equipment suitable for the dive. It's even better if the individual knows enough to determine what is appropriate for his dive rather than depending on somebody else to tell him/her. > c.)

Of course those that abide by more stringent buddy protocols might not agree, but it's not their dive to plan. > d.)

Too late. Once you're in the water, you're his buddy. Personally, I would not enjoy this dive. I'm sure that I'd spend the entire time wondering when my new buddy was going to do something stupid enough to be potentially fatal. The upside is that somebody that dives this way is very unlikely to have low consumption. I won't be stuck with them for long. Lee |

There are no society-critical missions in terms of the "limits" and "records" that are found in diving - cave or otherwise. We have better and safer ways to do these things.

There was no particular reason to dive the Britannic, for example. The science of the matter - and the inquiry of what caused her to sink - could have been answered (as well as by anything else) with unmanned recon. But it was "fun" to dive the Britannic - and by gosh, it makes a good promotional video. So it was done. Likewise for the dives at the WKPP. THere is no particular scientific reason to put PEOPLE in there, with all the contamination that comes with people swimming in there. Nor is there anywhere else. In essentially all such cases, there are other ways to skin the cat. Yet humans endeavor to find their limits and to press them further. It is part and parcel of the human condition.

If you were capable of going to the WKPP website, and reading the various Geological papers which have been published due to research conducted by WKPP team members, you would see that much ground breaking work HAS been accomplished by human teams, work which could not have been accomplished by an ROV in Wakulla. Much of the most important issues they have discovered, relate to levels of pollution injection by agricultural and industrial ( including gas stations) run off, and how serious these pollutants are in a big aquifer.

There's no question that cave diving can be spectacular. That's why so many of us were willing to do something so obviously hazardous. It's wonderful that WKPP got the chance to dive in caves they controlled. It's not so wonderful that they made such a point of restricting access to them and to other cave systems across the state.

Lee, I have about 90 minutes of Wakulla video, shot by a Japanese TV production team. These guys were good cave divers prior to the shooting, but agreed to a 2 week long intense WKPP training regimen on DIR protocols, etc., prior to the big dives. The resulting video shows by far the longest penetration into Wakulla ever recorded on video----it is amazing footage, that was only run on Japanese TV ( and a tiny 20 minute piece of this on the DIR III video). These guys shot with huge beta sp video cameras in special housings, with unbelievable lighting sent out in front of them, by support divers----the film shows the 300 to 400 foot visibility within the cave/aquifer, and it shows a level of pristine beauty, I do not think can be matched in caves open to the public ;-) When you see the enormous expanse of the tunnels, along with the branching ( and there is a very cool animated 3 -D rendering of the entire aquifer/cave ) , I think you will see why ROV's would not be feasible. Just imagine the weight and drag of the cable which controls the ROV, and the effects a cable such as this would have -- as far as it could be "pulled" into the cave. So when do you want to come over and see it ? Dan V |

Wakulla Springs has been a part of the Florida State Park system for over 25 years. Anyone can visit there and enjoy many pleasurable activities. http://www.floridastateparks.org/wakullasprings/activities.asp Lee, as I'm sure you're aware, obtaining "permission" to do something not normally permitted (like scuba) on gov't property is always a rather "Rube Goldberg" process, to put it midly. The WKPP has permission. The USDCT also gained permission. (whether they're still allowed in I cannot say) So, there is a procedure in place to dive there. Hell, if I felt like it I could ride my boat right up the Wakulla River to the basin and sneak dive the place (moonless night w/a bailbonds men on standby). > It's not so wonderful that they made such a point of restricting access to > them and to other cave systems across the state.

The State has a concession running glass bottom boats at Wakulla so it's definately "navigable". I've been told (by a former WKPP member) there is a fence blocking access to private boats a few miles from the basin (maybe GI3 had it installed to try and block characters like me :-)). So, you also might need some bolt cutters to gain access. > Here in Texas we have such a thing that allows one to travel > up many waterways even if the land bordering the waterway is private > property. Same here. I can run right my boat right along side the famous glass bottom ones at Silver Springs and they can't say shit about it. But, that is private property. There's also a big sign near the basin that says "No Scuba past this point". I've never pressed the issue with them as the flow from the cave will blow your ass right down the river at 3-5 mph, anyway. You'd need a nuclear powered Gavin scooter to even get near the cave entrance. > It's a kind of convoluted law and even if you are in the > right, it doesn't mean that you won't get arrested and charged with > tresspassing since the cops and lawyers don't really understand the > law that well... I'm unaware of any FL law that declares boaters, in the water, to be "tresspassing" on private property. For example, I've seen cavers going out of boats (Berman was doing this when he got KO'd, IIRC) at Ginny and thereby avoiding the (steep!) entrance fee. As long as they don't set foot on land, there's nothing the landowners of Ginny can do about this procedure. As usual, public property is a whole other story. -- SJM |

My contempt for WKRP is that they conduct extended range dives which are logistical marvels, which should be studied by all extended range divers, but try to justify it with a lot of hokey junk. Sheck tried to take open circuit to extreme depths. WKRP tries to take shallow clear water penetration to extreme limits. Six of one, a half dozen of the other. George's disdain for Sheck is what has made WKRP a joke. If George (and you) is right about the worthlessness of Sheck's efforts, then his efforsts are equally worthless. We can only admire George if he is wrong. Ain't that a shame? |

Mike, you could say the SAME exact thing for ALL of Florida's aquifers. One tiny difference between Wakulla and most other aquifers, is the ability of divers to prove connections between agriculture, industrial wastes etc, and pollution of an aquifer. Personally, I wish we had more divers involved in more of the Florida aquifers, so we could have a much larger News presence to attack the polluters with ( farms, industry, gas stations, county or municipal sewage) ---you know the old adage : "Out of sight, out of mind..". > > > You would "want" to send in a > > tethered ROV that would damage the length of whatever tunnel it entered, for > > as far as it got prior to being caught by turns in the cave?

Of course you can. That's kind of the point. As for Wakulla being different because they can prove connections between agriculture, industrial wastes, etc., how do you figure? The pollutants are in the water. I really does not matter where you detect them, at 300 feet or where the water exits the ground, they're still there and you know exactly as much about how they got there either way. No diver has ever seen where they come from. We know because there are only so many ways such pollutants get into the water. > Personally, I wish we had more divers involved in more of the Florida > aquifers, so we could have a much larger News presence to attack the > polluters with ( farms, industry, gas stations, county or municipal > sewage) ---you know the old adage : "Out of sight, out of mind..". Not a bad idea, but not really related. I wish more of everybody was involved, but that's simply not how it is. |

Hundreds, actually. It's how they get the water out of the aquifer and into yer shower. > George has no disdain for Sheck.

So he glamorizes his "records" in Wakulla to kill more divers in similar max penetration attempts. But it's OK, it's in the name of junk science. Call a spade a spade: Sheck went for max depth and died; George went for max penetration and lived. Poor Sheck. Lucky George. |

Skill and ability levels for the two > endeavors are equivalent ( max depth records on O/C, is equiv to bungee > jumping off the cliffs till you find one too high).... Dance, dance, dance. As I've said before, the WKRP dives show masterful planning and logistics. No less, no more, and I admire them for that. I also admire Sheck for trying 1,000 on open circuit. Wish I had the balls, the resources, and the youth to try it. It is clear that his planning and logistics (compromised in large part by the selection of a ridiculously remote site) left much to be desired, and may have contributed to the failure of the attempt. Someone will certainly beat the depth records set, and someone will certainly beat the penetration records set. Having the right size (and length) bungee will definitely be helpful. The animosity between the WKRP crowd and the Exley/Bowden/Gilliam crowd prevents you from cool, rational analysis of both the Zacatan failure and the Wakulla success. Both are Iron Man Bungee Jumping. I hope that refusing to keep Zacatan in proper perspective, and learning from it, does not make the next Wakulla record run a fatal failure. |

So, you also might need some bolt cutters to gain access. The fence is located at the upstream side Shadeville Bridge over the Wakulla river. http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?country=US&address=&city=Wakulla+Springs&state=FL There is a boat ramp on the downstream side if I remember correctly. The fence isn't solid as Manatees and other animals pass through freely. In fact, a manatee was at the springs a few weeks ago when I was visiting with friends. |

Sheck and Bowden were pushing luck, George and JJ were pushing line.

So you think the Wakulla penetrations are no big deal, just a walk in the park. And you think the risks of staged saturation are less than the risks of bouncing to depth. If yer right, my admiration for WKRP just took a nosedive. |

Others really want to see what's out there. It depends on your point of view. When you see it more as work, you plan differently. You'd want no risk. You'd want/ need teamwork, and probably do not want to dissapoint your fellow divers being not prepared. Passing points of no return doesn't seem to fit in here. To go were nobody has gone before affords a clear idea of where you are to begin with, and in each phase subsequently. This feeling, it seems to me, had been lost in Zacaton. > >> The animosity between the WKRP crowd and the Exley/Bowden/Gilliam crowd > >> prevents you from cool, rational analysis of both the Zacatan failure > >> and the Wakulla success.

Not qite. Especially the logistic and perseverance is admirable, and the systematical approach regarding decompression.

A side benefit of the systematical approach and the man hours dived. > If yer right, my admiration for WKRP just > took a nosedive.
