Pawn, You are in fact the master of misdirection! How are you going to handle anything but warm water? The issue of warm water has been addressed already by George and others. Read the posts. Oh yes, you were worried about dehydration. That's right. You are quite correct that a (is it 1/8 inch?) wetsuit provides far less insulation that a trilam drysuit with minimal underwear (t-shirt and shorts?) at the deco stops. So you'd be far more comfortable in that wetsuit (yah right). You are quite correct that an upside down BC with waist level inflation makes far more sense... Pawn, I can't wait for the video so we can all see the full explanation of the Big Pawn system. I'm looking forward to the video shots of the gear in use. When will the web-site be up?
