My lights do not come on either but a lot of folks with twist on lights 
do not turn them off to a point to prevent them comming on under 
pressure, thus the comment. 

I do not use any gear I think is shitty and I spend a lot of time 
selecting the gear I use and more time setting it up the way i want it 
to be. If your reference is the transpack, for the benefit my back gets 
it is the best peice of equipment I own, and I highly recommend it to 
anyone who has a back injury, which is a significant number of teck 
diver over the age of 40 and comes from all the years of heavy gear 
handling and other impact sports. My back is from football and then 
reinjured in distance running, no muscle and ligment attachment to l5, 
As long as I work out, stretch befor dives and prior to exiting water 
and use the right equipment (in this case transpack) it is no problem
With a back plate climbing out of caves and walking to the car 
irritates it, it does not disable or cause me to miss dives but if I 
can be totally free from any discomfort why not enjoy it.

I would love to have one of your tapes, I also would like to get 
permission to use exerts from it for some of the training videos we are 
doing.

On safety, I do not know what you see as unsafe in larry Greens diving 
practices. I certainly consider him to be safe on the dives I do with 
him.
