Allow me to add quick note to this: This description ALSO describes cave divers, but with two clarifications, 18 is the MAXIMUM age for which this applies (see also: Ed Padgett) and the cave diver may get in the water with all this equipment, but solely for the enjoyment of above mentioned virginal non-caver. He would never actually make a dive with it. (It is usually hung somewhere out of sight below the water line.) Also an addition: Stage Bottle: (N) 1. typically an 80 cubic inch aluminum tank. Though it is rumored that these are used to supply extra gas, this is incorrect. They are actually used to measure ceiling heights, by providing a convenient 7 1/4 inch measurement device which is pushed in front of the cave diver. 2. Ornament of decoration with no practical use frequently seen on above mentioned TechDiver. Jason Richards NSS/CDS 41539 rchrds@ho*.co*.ed* See the "Click a Cave!" http://holly.colostate.edu/~rchrds
