I am getting mixed messages on equipment.  Why all the need for 
redundant this and redundant that?  Or is there a need?  The required 
equipment list for a TDI Technical Diver course called for (amoung 
other items): a redundant bladder backmount BC, redundant mask w/bag, 
and a redundant bottom timer/depth gauge (read:computer).

After veiwing WKPP's gear rigging video, I e-mailed George and asked 
about a redundant BC and mask.  Their gear set-up was very clean and 
simple and ommitted these items.  He replied that they are not needed.  
Is this because of a difference in disciplines (Cave v. Wreck)?  One 
would think that the same gear configuration would suffice for both 
types of diving.

In Ken Sallot's add for his Sunto Alpha he said that he was selling it 
because he is a cave diver and doesn't need two computers.

Would some of you please set the record strait!  Oh by the way, just to 
be safe I think I'll send this message twice...
