What sounds smarter. > OR......MAYBE..........Other divers have different parameters by which they dive. Maybe they require 'better' backups than a hogarthian 'bailout'. Maybe the conditions are different than those in FL. And maybe, they take what you say and try it out; and evaluate it for themselves, under their dive conditions. That sounds smartest. There was a just a diver on here a little while back who said something like he was thinking about a cave diving class to get ready for some ice diving. Where do you think he got that idea? Cave diving solutions are not the solutions to every situation in diving. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
