Subject: Re: Scootering inside wrecks
Being able to operate a scooter in anything is one of our specialties.
Scootering in a wreck is perfectly normal for a non-stroke. Of course,
as with eveything else, the correct gear is essential. Look at the
"Extreme Cave Diving " video and see for yourself.

BTW, I do not like to see the old version of these scooters used
repeatedly at these depths, although they seem to do well with it.
 
In the case of these divers, I see their scooters all of the time so can
check them, and have the parts and machinery to fix them. Those of you
who are not near me need to go easy on the repeated deep diving beyond
300 unless they are the new version. If you are one of the idiots who
has a fake copy, trust me when I tell you not to take them deep. If you
have the copy-proof new version, do whatever with it.
