Guys-

I think you are aiming this thing at the wrong group. Cavers have to use
DPV's to conserve air. Some people touring reefs use them for that reason
plus they can cover a lot more ground...but hard core wreck divers???
WRONG!!! Nobody needs a DPV LESS than a wreck diver. Only a complete weenie
would even think about dragging a DPV along on a wreck dive. Under certain
(limited) circumstances, it might be helpful getting there, but once you are
on a wreck, it's nothing but a huge pain in the ass!
