Andy, Are these people going to use single tanks and have no regard to their air consumption, dive/deco time and buoyancy control? These are the divers Garret wanted to discuss. Not just open water only certs, and open water gear, but no regard for technique or mindset. Some dives are not for everyone, and if there is another, safer, dive site availible, divers like the ones Garrett wants to discuss should go there. Thats what I wanted to say. And I am not saying gear can replace technique,or mindset, or experience, either. regards, al marvelli -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
