Konrad,

>I would appreciate your opinions on the concept presented, and on the

I fail to see how your hardsuit would be any cheaper than a conventional
JIM suit.

>Do you see a use for hardsuits?

Certainly. The only caveat is cost, which is still *way* too high. But the
same was said not so long ago about rebreathers, and now everybody's so
excited about them.

>What benifits of the hardsuit appeal to you most?

Bottom time, depth and no DCS.

>What problems do you see with hardsuits?

$$$$...

Also, it takes away some of the freedom of scuba, and the feeling of being
one with the sea (sound too zen?).

>What features should be included in a suit design?

A stereo?   ;^)

>Would a hardsuit still be useful if it could only dive to 50m (150 
>feet)?

You bet!

Just my opinion...
        
Cheers,

Carlos    8^)
