EXCLUSIVE FOR DOMINICAN TODAY

SOMEWHERE NORTH OF PUERTO PLATA.- “We continue on site but sea conditions are progressively getting worse, primarily meaning the big rolling swells coming across the site, as I had explained before. This has an association to the full moon coming up soon."

"We will be remaining here for another five or six days, if the weather allows, before returning to Santo Domingo."

"We have been running steady dive rotation shifts for nearly a month now and its beginning to show on a lot of the men. Fatigue, ear infections, coral cuts that don't heal."

"It's time for a break."

"Of great personal value to me is the fact that I have been able to share this extraordinary experience with three of my sons who are a key part of the dive team; Burt the 3rd, Eric and George."

"Besides them I truly have a great team of divers. There's more to find and I'm confident we shall find it...." Burt Webber.

Ed. Note. Webber's expedition is recovering artifacts from the Spanish Galleon "Solo Dios Gloria."

Yes Burt, enough BS for 2009. Give it a rest and go do your W.C. Fields routine in March 2010 or so,

I have read your coverage on Mr. webber's present recoveries and admire the man's achievements over the years. I'm also amused by the "posting jester" (Generoso) who seems to be seething with jealousy. Who is he? A has been diver that Webber fired?

Treasure salvage is a high risk investment...So what?
Why complain if it isn't your money?
Nobody is forcing you.

He has succeeded before.

Unlike you I do not work for Mr. Webber, and yes I am a diver, among other things. Again after
Burt Webber's name should be the latin saying : "caveat emptor", look it up smarty pants.LOL.

Generoso (Posting jester). I read these articles because the're genuinely interesting. Mr. webber, professionally, has a long established track record with multiple publications to prove it. You come off as a very resentful and frustrated individual. You well know where you can stick your latin.

Be sure you have Burt pay you in cash, when he finally does, he has been known to give many NSF checks to paid stooges. You can not block the sun with just your middle finger. LOL.

Generoso

As you insist on retaining your title "Posting Jester", be informed I never worked for Mr. Webber. I do have affiliations with MEI and can afirm that he writes checks to no one. Your resentments are obvious, so perhaps you were the "stooge" and Webber probably had to fire you. Once again, just like the latin, you know where to put the middle finger.
