Andy (and others)

I know of a diver who has had a tank O ring blow in a cave. Fortunatley the
leakage was not far back and he exited without incident. It can and has
happened. Why? As with many others he has relied on the "highly experienced dive
shop" to do annual VIP's etc. Though many are good, there are many with kids
doing a summer job, etc. It is believed that regular VIP's did not always
include replacement O rings as they should of. Suspected problem. Regardless, it
is possible and has happened. 

For information purposes, he like I make sure our gear is in top condition by
doing it ourselves. We know its done. I'm trained through PSI on visuals.

A quick note: In the words or Richard Pyle (sort of<G>), you are the one who
is
responsible for you in the end. You have the most to loose and you are the most
motivated. When it comes to your life, like packing your parachute, you once
trained, will be the most motivated to be sure its right. We not prevent any and
all failures, but will do our best to minimize them.

This post was for info and comment only. Not a comment to tell another how or
what to do.

Safe Diving
