OOPS!
Peter- I hope that was'nt taken as a slap at GAP or it's creator. I'm
aware that there is no algorithm to take into account water temps. It was a
simple remark, based on the fact that I am HIGHLY anal retentive and like to
have my ducks all in a row before I jump in. No offense intended.
Anyway- it worked like a charm, as always
dive safe
