Maggie,

My info was from the 87-88 time frame when I was last doing work at Pax
River.

I remember seeing something posted on the female version. Did you post it?

Didn't pay much attention since the wife said she would love to go diving
again as soon as I take her back to Grand Cayman or anywhere else where the
water temp is >85 f and the viz is > 100 ft. I think I spoiled her!

As I recall, the femal version, required shaving creme, a razor, and denture
grip! I think we guys got the better end of this deal!

Dave
