	Well Im glad I posted for info on Viking Pro suits. It was good
	to read some interesting exchanges among you.  Personally I dive
	dry. I dive in the Atlantic mostly off the Jersey coast with a bit
	od Rhode Island and North Carolina mixed in. I dont own but rent
	a Viking Sport suit. Its easy to get on and off and is comfortable
	under water. The only thing that I worry about is the valve. I know
	the pro valves are supposed to be quite a bit better. I dont think
	I could recomend it if you were doing alot of penetration where
	you could snag on something. I only do mild penetration for this
	reason. I plan on getting into doubles next year and will also 
	make a dry suit purchase in Jan or Feb of 94. I hear the pros and
	cons of viking and dui divers all the time. I did hear the prices
	of DUI went up 6% in september and they were already expensive.
	I could get a pro for at least $400 less. My shop carries Viking
	so obviously the pressure tends toward viking. In terms of getting
	them sent away for repair I dont think the turn-around was more than 
	two weeks. (could be wrong) Has anyone owned both and switched
	from one too the other for a specific reason/s ? Thanks again.

	Chris
