Kevin, I have never considered you one of the parrots. but you certainly earned your cracker this time, because all you have done is repeated the math that we all know, to prove something I had already acknowledged - that big steel doubles are too heavy to dive wet. No argument. But the guy was asking about a SINGLE steel tank, and that was what I was answering about, with a few numbers for light doubles thrown in for comparison. No stage tanks, no HP 100's. Nice math, nice sarcasm, but both totally off target. Did you actually read my post, or just react by reflex when you saw "wet" and "steel"? -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
