Thomas, our boy Dave is merely saying stupid things that appeal to the mind that creates them. That is his audience. WITHOUT fail, every time Dave Sutton opens his mouth about diving, something stupid comes out. My "modifications" for wreck diving are that I have a dedicated salt water set of regs, so I know they need to be washed after the dive, and there is a larger bolt snap on the pressure guage and backup lights in case I need gloves if it is cold water. The knife on my salt water rig is more knifey, as in a longer blade and bigger handle, but in the same holster and spot. My deco bottles are 40's and 30's, and have large clips. Some "modifiication". Add a liftbag, put a smller battery pack on the scooter, and that is it.
