Hope the Canadian discovery will air these films. Will keep an eye ( the good one :) out Michel Guerin Pickering, Ontario -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Juergensen <heyydude@pi*.co*> To: rebreather@nw*.co* <rebreather@nw*.co*> Cc: techdiver@aquanaut.com <techdiver@aquanaut.com> Date: Friday, September 18, 1998 4:05 PM Subject: Upcoming Films on Discovery >Heyy Dudes (and dude-ettes), > >Just thought I'd drop a note to the Rebreather and Technical Diving lists >shamelessly promoting two upcoming films on the Discovery Channel, brought >to you by the undefeated team of McKenney and Juergensen.
