Pretty much everything Lamont has said is spot on.
Dylan, whether you knew it or not at the time, you went to the most popular dive site in the region, pulled out a 9 foot, 70lb GPO, most likely a female, and beat her to death in front of several divers. Even if you didn’t realize how much your actions offended and upset those people and everyone in the dive community who later heard about it, you do now.
You owe the community a sincere apology. Which I haven’t heard from you yet. And at this point, you’ve lied several times to the media and in your stories on this board so it will be hard to believe you anyway. But give it a shot. The only thing that is going to make this stop is your acknowledgement that you made a huge mistake and you’re really sorry and it won’t happen again. Meaning, you will never hunt in Cove 2, let alone grab an octopus there and beat it to death in front of people. OK? Not too much to ask, I hope.
