I second that.

I was in Florida for two weeks doing nothing but dive everyday with Errol.
The days we dove with the Gavin scooters were *really* fun. I have never
ridden a Gavin scooter before this trip (only rec scooter before that), and
within minutes (after set it up properly) I was having a blast racing around
the wreck, in and out between the rooms, run back and forth between 2 wrecks
on one dive, chasing (and catching) lobsters, etc. and we had the poor boat
chasing us most of the time.

The days without the scooters were a drag after that. If I didn't already
bought a Gavin, I would have after the *first* dive with it. Now I wish I
have *four* Gavins :-)
