_And_ you'll find that those who manufacture the gear that we use, such as
Barry Miller of Extreme Exposure and Robert Charmichael of Halcyon stand
behind their products 100%.  It's nice to know when you invest in a quality
piece of diving equipment that _if_ you should ever have a problem with it,
it will be taken care of promptly and to your satisfaction.  That's always
been my experience, anyway.
