I can say I know Bobby very well. I have been working with him for almost two years and I had known him before when we made friends. Bobby is one of the very few absolutely straight men in all the meanings ,I have met in my life. I can confirm 100% every word what "old man" stated in his previous post about him. Before Bobby started to determine which spot from his lease area would be best to start, he had spent hundreds of hours researching. I know, I was helping him. He bought all the volumes of Chaunu books, he was looking for every possible hint, just to be sure. He is well prepared person for this kind of enterprise. As a professional diver he knew what it was all about technically and before he even asked for lease, he equiped fully his diving base with everything from ROVs, underwater scooters till full set of different UW metal detctors, different tyes of mags, smaller boats and 96 foot reserach ship.
What Bobby probably wanted to say in his post was, that he was looking for any information of old ships going out or in Hispaniola island. Everybody in this business knows that Bobby Pritchett has got lease for good part of never ever before explored ocean area in Dominican coastal waters.
All the best,
