     Hello,

        I'm new to the Net and this bulletin board.  The sign-on message 
     requested an introduction, so here goes.  I heard of TECHDIVER through 
     my work at a Navy R&D Lab, where I am a mechanical engineer working 
     with diving and life support systems.  I've been diving for 17 years, 
     with the last ten years involved in cave diving in Florida (although I 
     have been fairly inactive for the past few years).  I am interested in 
     all aspects of "technical diving" listed in your message.  Exploring   
     Florida caves has exposed me to most of these including: deep (<250'), 
     decompression, long (up to six hours), and a little mixed gas diving. 

        I have a request for my first input.  I may have missed this in the 
     archives, but I'm interested in hearing about the Zeigle (sp?) BC's 
     that some of you have mentioned. Do they offer built-in redundancy?  
     We use the standard back-mount (wing style) BC's with a back plate for 
     Dbl. 104's and I have been concerned about the consequences of a total 
     BC failure on a deep and/or long penetration.
        Thanks!
