"Not done much ocean diving" that's a funny one! I think they do more ocean diving than cave diving. I had the opportunity to dive with Bill, George, Casey, and others a couple of weekends ago in the ocean. They still dive as a team even when they are fun diving. They go down together, and come up together, and watch out for each other. In fact, Barry even has it on video. -Jon -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
