Hey, don't get me wrong, John! I don't care if the crew is a bunch of pole-smoking butt-pirates or not, I just wanted the Coasties to know if they should break out the rubber gloves when they come to chopper the victims, er, divers in for their, uh, deco. And it does seem odd that as a team effort the "team" is doing the personal preference crap. You might forgive the "some have stuporwings" stuff on your average cattle boat trip, but on an organized effort where everybody is supposed to be singing from the same sheet (falsetto, whatever, I don't care) you would think that a standardized set of equipment would be a huge benefit. You might want to visit www.wkpp.org web site and see what can be accomplished by a true team effort.
