  Dennis, I am not talking gas consumption relative to dive students,
I am talking relative to myself and my teammates, who are constantly
working out and diving and getting better. I can tell a major difference
in the last year. My test is lobster diving on the same spots against 
the clock with an al 80. Translate that into 300 feet with double 104's,
on a scooter, and you are talking big distance. I just did a dive that 
my instructor ran out of gas on nine years ago and only used 200 psi out
of my hundreds, finishing the whole ordeal in the same time on the stages
only. That is progress, chief, and he is the one who made me get in 
shape. In fact, he said he would not dive with me if I did not do what
I now do. I just taped the tanks back up and put them away for the next
dive. - G
