Kevin - Pat, I just wanted to compliment you guys on your excellent responses to the single/dual BC question. THIS is what this list is supposed to be all about ! As valuable as the occasional tid bit of diving information is that comes from the WKPP I suspect the the overall response to their silence will be much like that of New Yorkers when the cab drivers went on strike. ----------------------------------------------------------- Kevin wrote: >There are times that too many options, under an impaired mental capacity, >can cause you to have to think too long to choose between your options. >A simple set of options that cover the majority of possibilies AND that >you can execute flawlessly and without thinking is better than a wide >range of alternative solutions that you have to think about and that you >can execute "OK". >Essentially, consider the entire system - of which you are part of the >system.

EXCELLENT INFORMATION I was wondering what material I should use to do the same thing to protect the bladders in my OMS wings. Inner tubes are excellent ! Thanks pat ! BTW check out giant truck tire iner tubes - they're 1/8" thick ! I found a damaged one on a lonesom highway a couple of years ago and cut a few pieces from it knowing it would be useful someday. You couldn't get an ice pick through this stuff ! My regards gentlmen, Chuck
