    Topcat got her information a bit wrong on this one.  While pushing a tight 
virgin mud crawlway above the J2 sump head pool I slid backward a few feet on 
a mud slope and sheared off the outer elbow.  The valve continued to function 
and I continued to take advantage of it since I was in the suit for over eight 
hours that day.  I made an emergency repair by using a piece of glove and the 
cover from my dry suit inflator as a temporary plug.   On the second series of 
dives I began to get some water leakage but since the river temps were up this 
was just a small inconvenience rather than life threatening.  Trip report will 
follow soon.

Joseph,

I caught part of an e-mail that said you had a problem with the
P-Valve. What happened? BTW, I'm in Florida until the 30th, so
my replys might take a few days.
