Hello List,

A trip to the Lake Superior has been cancelled and I really wanted to check
these wrecks but I think, it will be for later.

I am now considering going to Hawai (After being ready to very cold water,
I am now ready to plan warm water). But I don't know anything about the kind
of wreck or deep dives I can expect there. I plan to go there in July or
August
one week.

If anybody has another suggestion (except Florida where I went four months
ago), I am ready to listen to every advice.

 on the word
"bondage" or other relevant moniker.   Having used this wing myself before
and
can vouch for the legitimacy of it's critiques.

<<  2) IATND recommanded a 22.5 kg lift bag,  i have a 25 kg lift bag
already

Rule number one, don't look to IANTD for advice.    These are the same folks
that continue to promote deep air as a viable safe form of diving.    Is
this
the kind of credible advice you are looking for in an agency?    Start at
the
Halcyon site (http://www.halcyon.net/mc/05mc.shtml) and then follow the link
for
whichever wing you are interested in.   The appropriate lift advice can be
found
there.

<<  8) i feel that the Harothigan method is very comprehenisve but i've
been
thinkning on the issue of the bungees. with bungees ,  >>

Get the DIR II video from Extreme Exposure
(http://www.extreme-exposure.com/dir-vhs.shtml) and this will answer most of
your questions.   In it George specifically demonstrates the answer to this
question.

Hope this helps,
Tod
