Kevin,

Hey dude!

Well, mine works great and I'm putting some hours on it as fast as I can. I
have to admire the way those guys stuck all that stuff into such a small
package.   Sometimes I have to jump up and down on my diluet sphere to get
it in, then it snaps into place and away I go.

No leaks, no floods, no problems so far though I have forgotten little
things during a dive, like making sure the Farb bi-pass switch is open.  If
its closed you can't suck anything out of the unit below 60 feet.  The day
I learned this I kept going up to 30 feet, got air, checked my gear then
tried again.  Same results.  After three tries and with thousands of fish
watching, I figured it out. Humbling!

I'm practicing down around 150ft now and am getting ready to switch my
diluet over to Heliox. The next 150ft. will be easier than the first I hope
since I will be a lot more familiar with the rig.

I'm looking forward to diving with you in Indonesia.


Mike
