First, a short intro...
I've been diving for about 3.5 years now (appx 200 dives) mostly in the
sinks and springs of central florida. Other places include at least one
annual trip to the Carribean, and of course the FL keys. I recently
aquired a cavern cert. from Paul Heinerth at Scuba West in Hudson FL.,
and I intend to get my full cave cert from him as well. I dive air and
nitrox, occasionaly using oxygen for deco. I also enjoy deep diving.
Being new to technical diving, I don't have alot to contribute, but I
sure enjoy listening and learning from the pros.

Now in respone to Jody Svendsen's post

I have two Poseidon Thor regs which always breathe dry except when they
get some sand or silt in the diaphragm. It doesn't take much at all to
render them almost useless. A couple of cave diver friends use womens
stockings to form a screen. It's placed under the diaphragm cover, and
the cover is then screwed on normally. I've never tried it, but they
claim it works.
