It's my understanding that Tim does rely on volunteers, but they are given basic training on how to conduct a thorough search by grid. They are also instructed on how to proceed if they think they have found something, which is to mark the area, back out the same way they came in, and call for reinforcements. By that, I believe there is someone with walkie talkees at hand to alert team leaders, who then alert the authorities. Not the media. Is it perfect, no, but the sheet man power needed to search so wide areas demands volunteers.
LP had one of "trained divers" fired for falsification of his record. I do not trust LP's actions, since again, his stories regarding what Casey told him have changed dramatically over these many weeks, he calls the media first chance he gets, and now he is about to get 250,000.00 to be filmed doing his searches: this amount equals the entire budget of Marc Klass's foundation for the year.
We never saw any closeups of Tim's search finds, yet LP had the media there, on the scene, filming while it was suggested and shown possible bones found of Caylee. This is not a man who is in it for finding this poor child. He now has, in my opinion, a money making machine that keeps on giving-to him. Again, this is my opinion.
