I was bemused by this at first, since I couldn't remember an interview
with George appearing in Diver magazine. Then the penny dropped. The
original message was referring not to Scuba World or Diver, but to
the Imersed (sic) Winter 1997 issue, which features the article on
WKPP which was discussed in this august forum a couple of months ago.

Accompanying an article by one Jeffrey Bozanic are two photographs of
the same guy, one on page 34, the other on page 41, of a diver in
Wakulla Springs wearing an assortment of gear which would not meet
with WKPP approval This includes a wet suit, helmet, primary light and backup
light mounted on helmet, stage bottles fixed high either side of
back-mounted doubles, dangling 2nd stages everywhere, Jetstreams,
stage bottle slung underneath a scooter, suicide clips and "butt-mounted"
light canister. Is that the one? 

The photos are credited to someone called Wes Skiles, and I'd rather not
scan them in without permission. Perhaps you might care to email
immersed@nj*.co* and ask them for an electronic copy.

Incidentally George, what is it that you don't like about helmets?
Streamlining, or is there something else?

Regards

Pete
