Allen, don't know whose giving you the information about the equipment list
for the TDI course but it ain't the same as the list I've got....<BC as
appropriate for equipment configuration> is what's written in my book...no
mention of redundant computers either...just a back-up timer/depth guage
and a mention that computers are allowed....in short, dump that list!

I haven't seen the video that WKPP put out...but I know the way they rig
their gear and it's the best foundation you're gonna find...for wreck or
cave....use it.

Just for the record, are either Henry Keatts or Brian Skerry on this list?
They wrote a book called <Complete Wreck Diving> I have some questions....

All the best
Steve Lewis
