john you are probably right. you probably could get away easily with the two items. BUT you wouldn't look like a bad ass SCUBA diver. you really need a 8 inch 2 1/2 lb piece of stainless strapped to your leg;-) be cool hank In a message dated 97-03-27 03:27:00 EST, you write: << Subj: Newbie question on dive knives Date: 97-03-27 03:27:00 EST From: johnb@pi*.co*.uk* (John Brett) To: techdiver@aquanaut.com ('techdiver@aquanaut.com') Hi, Intro: I'm a long-term lurker planning to put together a proper rig during this diving season. I've been listening in for advice, and spent some time looking at Todd Leonard's web page, trying to ensure I understand why everything is as it is. First question: Why take a dive knife, as opposed to other ways of cutting line/netting &c? The two alternatives I can see are a netcutter and shears (as used by EMT's). I can see pros & cons to each method. What are the factors that dictate a knife over the other methods? John Brett -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
