Hi,

Can anyone answer a question for a newcomer (me). I've heard that steel
stages are frowned on because of their weight. However, for drysuit diving,
where we have to carry extra weight anyway, I can't see any obvious
disadvantage to them over AL stages. What's the thinking?

Actually, thinking about it, a heavy steel stage bottle seems like a
conveniently located item of dumpable weight which is not going to get
dropped accidentally (since if you're resorting to dumping weights you're
not going to be making stops on the way up!).

Ian
