Waterlover and I spent the afternoon listening to a presentation by George Irvine III. What a difference from the internet to in person. When I first started reading the techdiver list, etc., I was definitely turned off by George and DIR. I thought he was an arrogant SOB, but then I got past the BS and started paying attention to what really was being said. I was slowly assimiliated to the gear configuration.
Today I was convinced by the soft-spoken director of the WKPP. He was willing to answer any question from gear configuration to decompression. I was quite impressed by his knowledge of physiology and its relationship to decompression. A two-hour presentation turned into a 3 1/2-4 hour presentation. I learned a lot and was definitely worth the 3 1/2 hour drive. I have a new respect for his accomplishments and knowledge.
The gear configuration was explained and a description was given as to why each piece was needed. There was nothing done to fix a problem that created another problem. It is kept very simple. So simple, that it even works for recreational divers.
For those that are interested, National Geographic will have a special with some awesome footage of Wakulla. They didn't know when the show will be aired.
