hat myspace blog listed above that is supposed to be this guy's is a sick joke right? Surely an instructor whould not put up such a blog. Here are some quotes from it:

About me:
My name is Jim, I have been a scuba diver since 1985 and have dove all over the world. I have dove to depths greater than 600 feet as a technical diver and my only regret has been that I have not gone even deeper. The current world record depth for a scuba dive is 1,044 feet, held by a South African diver. I intend to break that record in 2008. Together with some of the most experienced technical divers in the world, I intend to dive from the surface to a depth of 1100 feet, thus the name Project 1100. It's going to be phisicaly taxing, life threatening, and moderately expensive. Any help that any of you can give, either through dive knowledge or monetary contribution will be appreciated and recognized. Together let's unravel a little more of the mystery that makes up the other three quarters of our world.

GOING DEEP for Ocean Preservation
We live in a carefully ballanced world and unlike the other species we share it with, we have no idea how to live in harmony with it. We get so wrapped up in our daily lives that we forget to ensure the future survival of mankind by ensuring the survival of our ecosystem of which the primary componant is our oceans. I've developed this project to bring attention back to the health of our oceans before it is too late for humanity. Remember our planet will survive even if it has to kill us all to do it.

today's deep dive was usually uneventfull, moving to 300 feet next week on the way to the 1100 foot dive record tentatively planned for August of 2008. next week still puts me over 300 feet away from my personal deepest, however I'm planning for the world record at 1100 feet, so i think my decision to start relatively shallow (for super deep dive standards) is sound practice. Remember I DO NOT HAVE A DEATH WISH, i intend to walk away from this 1100 dive with the record and unharmed. Thank you to everyone who has offerred to lend a helping hand, know that your contribution is appreciated.

Scouted out a hole here off the gulf coast of Florida, initial sonar depth readings put the hole at over 300 feet, excellent news for training . . .it's a cavern dive though . . .very dark, smal entrance, dont know if there's a cave network, I guess I'll know tomorrow or the next day, weather dependent . . .I'll keep you all informed.

I am just beginning in my cavern training and this whole accident doesn't feel right from the getgo. There are still some pieces missing and hopefully we will see the statements by the other divers.
