Dude, Casey McKinlay has updated his now-famous recovery price list to include the cost of him having to go buy gear to do the recoveries, since he sold everything last week. His top price is up to $15,000, and that is for getting the body with rebreather and scooter. What we usually do is clip scooters , bottles, and other crap to the line at side tunnels, so we can send support divers to these landmarks for placing safeties and stages. Sounds pretty morbid, but keeps the hardicks cool . From the sounds ot this new entry into the realm of sheer bullshit, the volume of business may require Casey to revise his list for "body only" recoveries.
