Subject: Not the "Von" system "deep"
http://www.gue.com/research/britanic/gallery06.shtml

  Check this picture out - a bunch of GUE divers using aluinium 80's on
the Britannic inside the wreck. I guess Big Von was a little wrong about
what it takes to dive deep . BTW, Cousteau used a similar amount of gas
for his dives.

   In the other pictures you can also see they use 104's for some dives,
but in all cases the drysuit is used. With the 80's the drysuit is not
necessary to balance the rig ( in fact weight has to be added ), but the
obvious fact of life on Planet Earth is that deep water is cold, and the
obvious fact of life for us is that cold is like narcosis. When somebdoy
tells you otherwise, it is obvious that they are full of bull, and do
not really do this or they would know.

   What we have here is proof of how real players do it vs yap about how
the strokes think it should be done. Amazing.
