Subject: Re: Recommendations for BC?

Don't forget, I've done many more deep dives with doubles using a single
non-bondage wings than I have with the OMS.  I'm not speaking from
inexperience.  I've seen your videos, and I know for your applications,
you use the shift in buoyancy to your advantage.  It works against me - I
need rock-steady attitude control & subtle manuverability.  The bondage
wings do much better for this than the wings do.  In my perfect buoyancy
world, there is no wetsuit, no drysuit, and the BC is totally empty. I'm
tired of explaining it over and over.  If you don't get it by now, then
you obviously have a bit of cotton in your own ears. 

I'm glad you are helping Griffiths.  I haven't seen him in a couple of 
years - say hello to him for me.  As long as the new BC's have dual 
bladders and bondage, I'll probably be interested in looking at them.
