Gee, trying to promote recreational diving in Libya, advancing rebreather diving in the US, and a little collateral damage in the Keys and everyone just piles on this guy.
Somehow, I never crossed paths with him.
Oh well...
 
Visited his store, back when it was still located in Naples n found him to be a nice guy.

They used to say that about Ted Bundy too. Such a nice guy.

Met him a few times on boats. Thought he was arrogant and a bit condescending. Also listened to some of his lecture on GF, and vowed never to take training from him.
 
@hroark2112 ditto. a few years ago I was at the Georgia Aquarium with my wife and it was the first day that Poseidon was doing their CCR stuff. She has watched tons of video of proper dive training with the university and has sat in on a lot of classes so she knows what good divers look like. She was commenting about hor horrific two of the divers on the rebreathers were in the big tank. They got closer to the glass and it was Peter and Claudia *also verified by the Poseidon reps who thankfully didn't hear that comment*. I saw them in the water again not long afterwards and both were pretty bad divers. Definitely not anyone I would want near me in a cave
 
Hey, if anyone wants to help ol' Peter out, the good doctor has put up a gofundme page for him! I'm half tempted to donate $1 and say, "I hope you enjoy prison, use this $1 to buy something nice at the commissary for your boyfriend."

Unfortunately, the minimum donation is $5, and that is too much in order to make an uncomplimentary remark.

8. After a Department of Commerce special agent instructed VOISSEM and sons
on or about August 4, 2016, not to export the rebreathers while a license determination was
pending, VOISSEM and SOnS continued to communicate with Individuals 2 and 3 to arrange for
them to have a shipping company identified by Individuals 2 and 3 pick up the rebreathers and
ship to Libya.
.................
10. On or about August 9, 2016, knowing that the rebreathers were being exported to
Libya, VOISSEM provided the four rebreathers to a transportation company that picked them up
from Add Helium and transported them to a shipping company in Miami, Florida for export to
Libya.
11. On or about August 1 7, 2016, during a phone conversation about the rebreathers
with a Department of Commerce special agent, VOISSEM and sons concealed the fact that the
rebreathers had already been shipped to Libya.


How did they expect to get away with this? allegedly
