Jon, that is a video light. The regular light is there also. The handle
usually goes in the left hand, except on descent. It must not vibrate
and it must be free for signalling. On descent I put it in the right so
That my buddy does not think I am signalling when I clear or hit my
inflators, which are baoth operated witht he left hand. -G

The scooter is totally different, only the motor and shroud are
from the Tekna.- G

We tow more scotters for the bigger dives. The last B tunnel dive
was a 3 man , and we each towed. We drop the big ones at the end of
the line and add and survey the new line with the little ones. This
leaves enough jusice to get al the way out on the little if need
be.

We have no air rule - we calculate the required gas ahead of time,
but if for some reason someone hit thirds, we would call the dive-
never happens anymore. We like to come home with lots of gas. -G
