Sure!  And, < Thank YOU for that well thought out, reasonable reply.>

< I tell my students not to exceed 130 ft. MAXIMUM...>

Well, at least you do one thing right.

<I tell my students not to exceed 130 ft. MAXIMUM, so neoprene compression
is not an enormous factor.>

Hmmm, emphasis on the enormous or do you have different physics out 
there on the west coast?  

I really hate idiots that dive with 'shit' gear and pass that on to 
their students.  Instructors like that just keep the rescue teams 
busy with  plenty of work and help drive the cost of insurance up.
If you think it's shit then you can bet the students do too.
If your suits shit and you're happy with it, then the integrity of 
the rest of your gear is probably questionable also.  If you let 
students see that shitty gear is all you need to dive in then 
you are putting out the wrong message no matter what you say.   

As for winning friends, fuck that.  Influencing people?  Well, let's 
just say my equipment speaks for itself - so does that of my 
students.

Take your 'piece of shit' suit and head back over to alt.rec.diving.

Mitch.
