>>What is a Panga?

A Panga is what many cultures call a very small boat with a single outboard
motor.  I guess we have several names for it - but they call 'em pangas in
Mexico, Ecuador, Trinidad, and in the Solomons (don't ask me why).


>>   What sort and make of rebreather?

John's rebreather is a CCR-155 made by Bio-Marine.  It is a closed circuit
rebreather which maintains a constant set point of PP02.  (Mine should be
delivered this month...).  He looks pretty cool wearing it, too, but not as
cool as I will look with mine because I'm going for the FFM made by EXO.  I
like to talk a lot underwater (usually calling John names when he is trying
to concentrate on filming some rare marine animal - just to piss him off...).

Maybe George will include this set up in the WKPP dive equipment protocol.  I
could get my dad to help him with some of the engineering for an underwater
helicopter apparatus (maybe powered by a chevy 350 short block).  We could
try to talk Bob Keet into testing it during Farb's deep air course...

Kevin.
