That would equate to Henry Ford >driving a Chevrolet. Being his principal cave/wreck exploration partner (and >Research and Development for Dive Rite, his company), I think that would >qualify me to point this out. >He did teach your founder to Cave Dive. He has Faber cylinders that may have >been purchased through your company. That would just about sum up his use of >your equipment. >Since you chose to post this to cavers, I will respond to cavers.
