The video will have a few diagrams concerning equipment rigging and a few
inserts of underwater shots showing some of the elements described.  The
tape will start and end, however,  with dive segments (Sally Ward & Wakulla)
shot by Barry Miller.  I'll also look around for some ocean shots.

The request concerning the blond babe is under consideration.

Regards, John
