One, any equipment discussion concerning ANY diving done by the WKPP as a
"sponsored" dive is not what I discus for many reasons however  two of them
are 1. I'm not a member nor do I dive with them 2. In the type of diving
they are doing on their dives there can be No differences in their
equipment, configuration, etc. This is rather standard procedure for any
extreme activity, especially with their safety record. Now as far as the
rest of us "recreational" divers. Unless we are discussing some particular
aspect of diving, I think that there is a great deal of "personal
preference" or a gray area if you will. I amazed at the number of people who
only quarry dive or dive in the Caribbean. There are many people I can't
even get to think about diving in the Northeast (to cold, to little
visibility, no pretty fish) should they all dive back plates, wings, wet
suits, no gloves, aluminum tanks, no ponies, no up lines, no way. There are
many items I think should not ever get wet and a few have actually caused
severe problems such as bondage wings. But if this issue was a simple or as
black and white as many posts indicate, how are all these other companies
succeeding and why aren't we all driving Mercedes diesels?
