Flyright, fortunately 3 to 4 century's of natural weather phenomenon has did a pretty good job of concealing these wreck sites. I would say in the shallower waters what could be looted has been looted long ago. However it takes heavy digging equipment to get to the more heavy stuff. Something the locals cant do with just a shovel. So i am pretty sure DBM's wrecks are still just the way they left them.
Yep, that's plenty of proof nether is a scumbag liar. However zero proof ANYWHERE he ever did anything good in his worthless life, or on his own. Always picking apart what someone else did wrong and ALWAYS someone else's fault. I used to be like that at the age of nine.

Neb, in that article the diver states he hands over the artifacts to the government. I doubt the DR government is willing to accept that artifacts are being pulled off wrecks without proper archaeological procedures. This is why i sent the article to the DR government which could help them to understand why companies like DBM are needed down there. If you have any contacts in the DR you should also forward that article.
I wonder why if derrel pos nether hasn't never been a business partner with blum that he has websites dedicated to the disparaging of blum his wife and family and religion and anybody ever associated with DBM. Interesting eh? And even though derrel nether continues to announce to the public that DBM is dead, does this lowlife continue to disparage wilf blum his wife and family and everybody associated with DBM.
Just a scumbag i guess?
Yeah he wants so bad for you to be wilf so he dont look like the chronic loser that he is. Like i said wilf shows a lot of class not attacking nether, not so much the other way around.
From what i am hearing the DR has never gave a definitive no. They know they need contractors to save their heritage from further looting.
More proof they need companies like DBM. I found this online and sent it to the DR government and got a thank you note in a reply. This is a wreck Capt Billy discovered a few years back. This was the wreck him and his crew were chomping at the bit to go to work on.

I know what else CORPORATE SNITCHES like POS loser scumbag sack of shit derrel nether. Thats what else. Birds of a feather an all. Him and wilf were joined at the hip then came the break up followed by thousand upon thousand of posts disparaging his former business partner. What a pathetic POS. For sure wilf out classes that moron.

Think about it, a Utah based treasure hunting company opens an office with boats and crew in Key West Fl. No lack of trying, finds out local EPA regulations puts a dampener on treasure hunters. So they didn’t cry all the way back to Utah. They find an existing company in a foreign land and pay several hundred thousands of dollars to sub-contract, when that ends the foreign country gives DBM a contract of its own. Very few contracts in the history of that island were ever awarded. Then within the first week discovers in their area one of the oldest known treasure wrecks of all the Caribbean. On a roll right? Nope along comes Unesco and wines and dines a few officials and bribes their way into having the DR rid itself of treasure hunters. Meanwhile their own people loot the very wrecks discovered by the contractors. And renege on their contracts and keeps all the treasure.
Hard to keep running a company under those circumstances.
Had the treasure been divided as according to the contract, and renewed existing contracts DBM would still be in business. And because they were still on a trail of treasure..well you never know where they would be right now.
Check out this video, DBM paid the shipyard $110,000.00 to construct this blower while paying a crew to outfit the boat while on dry-dock for two months. Shortly after that the Dominican Government asked all contractors to remove the blowers as they were "symbols of treasure hunting". They still use these apparatuses in the very conservationist friendly Florida. One man can make up a law in the DR and send out letters and just like that have something that could have made simple work of removing sand gets yanked right off the ship. Who knows what could have been recovered had this tool been used on a daily basis.
https://vimeo.com/4872775
And each time any contracted company left the dock they needed a Navy dispatch (dispacio) and a Navy inspector and a qualified archeologist (as required in the contract). Each recovered item was meticulously recorded, photographed and sent to Santo Domingo’s conservatory lab to be cataloged cleaned and eventually divided as stated in each contract. Hardly any wiggle room to deny what was recovered or in some statements “that treasure was recovered without a permit”.
yeah Neb aint that sumptin, treasure hunting company finds treasure. Pictures to prove it.
Why does that just irk-the-shit out of POS derrell nether?
sintolmbo
Easy example, say a farmer raised one crop and waited to get paid but someone reneged on paying for it but said its coming. Next year the farmer has no choice but try and produce even while waiting to get paid for the first crop. Then that crop also is hauled away but not paid for. The farmer now reeling from two years funding and two crops being withheld. Now he is too strapped to even plant another crop but still cant afford to relocate. He then has to make a choice and borrow enough to plant another crop or lose everything from the previous seasons. So he does because he is being told this will be resolved soon. A third year and the crop is hauled away yet again to get paid.
What does the farmer do now? Gear up for another crop? Pay for expensive PR’s, Keep employees and office buildings, File financials, on what? Sue the land owner and never be able to grow another crop.
Really isn’t much choice but hunker down and wait. Now if the land owner flat out said no more crops on my land then no choice but to move on . So far that hasn’t been said. And if he does then and only then SUE THE CRAP OUT OF THEM
DBM may be the only game in the DR when all has been resolved. Would anybody re-hire someone who has sued you in the past?
There will be a new president in the DR and its looking like it will be the same president that was in office when DBM received its first contract.
Maybe DBM will allow Global Marine to come back and work as a sub-contractor?
Dbm did not sue its host country knowing damn well if they did they would never work there again.
Global Marine was flush when they decided to sue their host country and had an option to go else where.
DBM was maxed out and was relying on their division to bail the company out and continue recovering treasure on several sites. Guess time will tell.
The treasure coast of Florida has been worked over for many years. Any new discovery would sure surprise the heck out of fifty years of past treasure hunters. How much treasure has SFRX recovered to date? How much treasure has global marine recovered after leaving the DR???
DBM has been in existence for nine years. Global Marine?
Apples to Oranges.
Yeah probably takes off in reverse and smashes through an SEC Complaint office's window. They say derrell how many times have we told you to stop playing with that airplane here. And then with sad eyes they say you know you will have to pay for that window. derrell says i dont have any money right now as i am awaiting another bogus lawsuit, but man do i have some dirt on a few CEO's.
Its not just that. I remember the first DBM ship went to the DR slammed full of donated items to the needy, then went Billy's boat also slammed full of rice and beans to hand out to the poor. Neither ship sailed empty. Then DBM hired at least nine people. More when you consider what the museum used. Three Dominicans built homes with their pay-checks. For six years DBM paid Dominican workers who in return fed their families.
NOT ONE WORD ABOUT ANY OF THAT. What we are seeing is some chump POS gringo (dusty roades) working the Dominican crews through casual conversation to forward that obtained info to some deranged individual (darrell POS nether) so he can use that info to further destroy the very company that feeds these families. Yeah real flipping nice. Cowardly POS's in my book.
DBM has accomplished some incredible feats. I dont believe its over.
Alls we get is what about Doug Jardine? Or Cowhen Eggli and Lisa Larson who are all stand up individuals if we compare them to derrell nether. ABSOLUTELY NO ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
Neb, what i dont get is why people like POS tim dusty rhodes and the pathetic loser derrell dumb-a$$ nether don't come up on any google search of ever accomplishing anything on their own. Their MO is to tear down the accomplishments of others to somehow justify their measly pathetic life's and to somehow appear more significant? Has to be some terminology for that mental sickness? It really is sad. And in dusty rhodes case he just passes the info he gathers about the company and Capt Billy to POS nether's who appears to have nothing more than a personal vendetta against wilf and posts it on any message board using yet another alias. So dusty hides from posting on his own to passing the info off to some other freak-show to post under several different alias's on several different message boards. Talking about cowardly. If there was ever a time to use the phrase GET-A-LIFE it would be with these two loser's.
Wilf who may or may not have ran the company like we wish he would have at least had the balls to try. And no matter how bad some cant take it he did find treasure. And a very significant treasure. That is what we call in the real-world an accomplishment.
Still trying to find ANY accomplishment of the rhodes and nether duo.
What a waste of time in a life that is really very short.
"THE dpbe SCAM SHIFTS GEARS SO QUICKLY TO GET OUT OF TOPICS IT FINDS UNCOMFORTABLE."
Amazing a statement so serious like bribing government officials cant be backed up by any proof WHATSOEVER and then we now call it shifting gears.

More hogwash

Legitimate answer,
Why dont you ask POS dusty rhoades he lives in the same town as Capt Billy and seems to make it his number one daily agenda to stalk him and find any info on the guy to tell anybody who cares to listen.
Until then, who can blame DBM for not revealing what they are working on? After all, we all know there are outside forces who who do anything to sabotage any plans the company might have. Good for them to wait until everything is signed and sealed. Prevent any outside interference by deranged individuals.
I wholeheartedly agree with that. I also agree with Porman that if DBM has a facebook page it sure could use that (if legal) to at least say they are still doing everything in their power to get the division and make good as a company. I wasent aware of a facebook page but do agree with Porman on that note.
WILF!?!?!?!?!?!? SUP?
Dude that is funny. From what i am hearing its just a matter of doing the financials or something so easy and the company is current again. So when the treasure gets divided then i am sure that gets done.
Now a new company named Deep Blue Marine Environmental. Hmm? Not sure why you would name a company DBM ENVIRONMENTAL if it was hunting treasure? Maybe, just MAYBE Wilf needs a back-up plan of his own. WHATS WRONG WITH THAT? Is he too just lie own an die because of the DR hold-up? And because he named the new company DBM Environmental. I am thinking it is something to MAYBE help DBM along. Or why else have the name DBM???
BUT that is just me thinking positive.
Some even say opening a treasure hunting company and finding 500 yr old treasure a "family vacation". Been on a lot of family vacations but NOPE never found treasure.
Neb this on line article certainly sums up the whole matter. Just a loser. Probably sold Fleming's motor home to buy crack. I remember wilf commenting on pos nether saying when you step on shit you throw away the shoe. Sounds exactly what Mr. Fleming says here.
Commenting on the matter Mr. Fleming says "Darrell Nether is one of the most unprofessional people I have ever met. When I resigned from the company I had no idea that he would put out trash talk about me on message boards and even in press releases. In my view that was simply because he couId not run the company on his own. Nether is certainly not an innovator. He is a major problem monger. The fact is I started the company from scratch, with my own money. Nether contributed absolutely nothing but grief. After I resigned, the Nethers denied me my severance package. They kept my motorhome, my portion of client stock holdings and my personal belongings. In the end they showed absolutely no respect for the man that took them out of obscurity and gave them a shot at entreprenurialism. I could have pursued a court settlement for what was rightfully mine. Because the stock assets ultimately became almost worthless and the legal fees necessary to recover the other assets would be excessive I thought it would be better to just walk away."
Check out this article by Capt Billy. Wonder why articles like this never get posted.
http://www.passagemaker.com/articles/technical/seamanship-technical/junk-under-the-bunk-boat-repairs-macgyver-style/
Exactly, every post i have ever read by POS nether pretty much confirms what this Flemming fellow says. Never nethers fault. Always someone else s. Never takes the blame.
LOSER.
Airplane mechanic? I guess anybody can wind up the little propeller driven rubber band and call themselves an airplane mechanic.
ROTFLMFBO
Wow man! this guy nether really is a lying sack of shit. No wonder every associate he ever worked with has been sanctioned. I read where he was an airplane mechanic. Maybe he got bumped in the head by the propeller.
Lets see, a disgruntled ex employees statement with no supporting evidence? No law enforcement action. No fines no nothing.
You figure it out.
FACT IS,
When posting something like this,
#3. Possible criminal prosecution of DPBE and million dollar plus fines for reckless damage of coral with an underwater Jack Hammer within the Florida Keys Marine Sanctuary.
In the next few weeks I am forced to travel to Key West to photograph and document damage to coral that Wilf and Capt. Joe caused with an underwater Jack Hammer in the Marine Sanctuary
Should be backed up by some type of evidence. Maybe a picture of the destroyed coral. How about a picture of an underwater jackhammer. But absolutely nothing but a statement by a ex employee.
Hard to believe anything you post. I asked you two years ago to post that signature of Capt Billys on where you claim he lied and all we get is an X in a box.
Just guessing at something hardly constitutes fact.
What hogwash.

Thirty five year old news. Is that another one of them sworn statements. ROTFLMFBO.
Like I said he must have been good at that too or any law enforcement action would be posted here umpteen times a day. Is that all you got?

When I google his name nothing but incredible achievements.
When I google POS derrell nether I get this.

If DBM had used a jack hammer on coral it would have been front page news and posted here on a daily basis. Sworn statement to who? Local bartender. LMBO
Capt Billy drug runner. Must have been good at that too because when I google his name not even a traffic violation comes up. Even so.. Treasure hunter, commercial fishermen (and one of the best at that I hear) and now drug runner. Cool sounds like a man’s man to me. He should write a book and make a fortune.
Now take piece of shit Nether’s for an example. here’s his MO.
"It looks to me like a deal that went bad with a couple of angry former partners who just don't want to let it go because it didn't work out for them personally. From what I can gather, Nether doesn't have anywhere near the creativity and originality that Mr. Fleming has. Apprently Nether hasn't done much since Mr. Fleming left. An internet search reveals that Mr. Nether spends lots of time posting on penny stock message boards"
Yeah that’s funny, I bet the whole Dominican crew and their families think that’s hilarious.
how could anybody think that was nothing more than a joke hardly worth having to explain.
I agree one hundred percent but now you changed the story.
YOU WROTE,
I recall DRUG RUNNER RAWSON detailing when he took investors out for a dive, he took them to a spot where he knew they'd find treasure.[/u] I THINK THATS CALLED SALTING. PAR FOR THE COURSE FOR THOSE "JAILBIRDS OF A FEATHER".
Well its obvious he knows where treasure is so why would he take them anywhere else?
LMFBO
"the company, captain and crew will be adequately compensated for the 1+ year of forced inactivity "
I happen to believe this would be true, compensation doesn’t necessarily mean cold hard pesos Although you never know? When the DR gives permission to these companies to get back to work then they would have come to their senses they need such companies. And whoever makes up that decision would have to be aware of what hardships they put these companies through. And in the case of DBM, they have a one hundred percent Dominican crew who has also had to endure this government glitch.
So a larger division or an extended contract even a few coins passed out could justify compensation.
The real issues are the contract and division. Both together would rock this stock. Then the company is flush again and hopefully gets a new office, website and puts out PR’s.
Treasure was being found right up to the day everything shut down… That would be a good start to a PR.
I recall DRUG RUNNER RAWSON detailing when he took investors out for a dive, he took them to a spot where he knew they'd find treasure. I THINK THATS CALLED SALTING. PAR FOR THE COURSE FOR THOSE "JAILBIRDS OF A FEATHER".
So he was to take them somewhere with no treasure? Interesting. I would imagine if Rawson had a record we would read about that twelve times a day.
Just more un-proven hogwash.
