He was one-time director of a cave exploration group called the WKPP in Florida. He was one of the main architects of the DIR style of diving. He is renowned for an aggressive, intolerant on-line persona, though is apparently much nicer in real life. He has now largely retired from the public eye, though he continues to be involved in the DIR movement and to manufacture Gavin scooters.

Trust fund baby who purloined a load of diving techniques from Billy Deans, Bill Main and Parker Turner and occasionally did the odd world record dive in between stints as being a complete and utter cock and doing DIR/GUE as much of a disservice as possible. Imagine Hitler's opinion of Mussolini and you're not far from the truth. At least he made the trains run on time.

Now makes unreliable scooters whilst being a gay interest dive group poster boy in unfortunate choices of swimming trunks yet tries (unsuccessfully) to maintain an air of heterosexuality.

Despite being a total tool he did participate on some very funny exchanges on Techdiver, brought DIR to the public arena and then got disowned just because he insulted the odd person or ten I thought he was funny but clever and a lot of the people that caught the wrong side of his vitriol deserved it. Unlike most Septics he seemed to understand irony.

In private e-mail exchanges he was been exceptionally nice and helpful, a very good example of how to maintain an internerd persona as a complete cock yet being reasonably normal... No newly joined members in mind...

Nothing much to add except on cold dark nights i envisage the GUE gliterati discussing how to put GUE on the map and coming up with George's Internet persona as the answer.

We like extremes it seems. We don't want wishy washy liberals we either want in your face people or cuddly nice people.

Say what you like but GI3 put GUE on the map big time.
