This makes me wonder

[DRE]

Casey McKinley is now the Project Director - before he was the Project Coordinator and running most of the day to day stuff.


Main took a bunch of stuff from a lot of different people and put it together as the Hogarthian rig. The DIR equipment configuration is based upon that (check out Jarrod's article on the GUE website: ), but DIR goes beyond just gear.


Nor do the current WKPP guys; they crecit the people who deserve credit but they aren't shy either about their own accomplishments. The level of integration with regards to the DIR as a holistic concept and the team coordination within the WKPP during the last 7-8 years wasn't something anyone before ever did. BTW, if you check out the history section of the WKPP website you'll find all of the major players listed with their accomplishments, so I'm still not sure where the "taking credit for other people's exploits" is based upon?


They have the EKPP in Europe, which is all cave exploration; they did the Britannic 99 project; there's a project going on in the Baltic through Ocean Discovery; I believe DirItalia is doing a wreck project in the Mediterranean; Chris LeMaillot and Danny Riordan are working on several cave exploration projects in the Yucatan; and I believe there planning on doing a TV documentary on the Gunilda in the near future. They're also partnering with the other major training agencies on the Spring and Cave Conservation Project. There might be some other projects going on on a smaller scale that I'm not aware of...

Hope this helps,
David
