sorry rich, but i was diving my fieno to almost 500', and they weren't
bounce dives either buddy... :-)

just kidding, have to admit tho, if i was hired to do a recovery at
500fsw, and i had 2 bio marine 15.5s, 2 mk4's and 2 mk5's on the boat  to
chooze from for my buddy and i.  and knowing all units were maintained and
in working condition..(you get the picture).. my choice would that exact
order.  the 15 first, the mk 4 then the mk5.   That's just the way it is.

i'd say the same thing if you stuck a 500 in place of the 15.5 but i'd
have to some shorter, larger diameter hoses...  the hoses will end up that
anyway.
