Hello, I am slowly working my way into cave and deep diving and am trying to
find suppliers fortechnical dive equipment. In particular I am looking for a
manifold, either single piece or muliple piece, for twin 8" tanks. I am also
looking for twin tank bands and a backpack. Please let me know if anyoneknows
of good suppliers in the Florida/Georgia area, or anywhere else that
doesmail-order.
Also, used equipment is fine; if your trying to unload it, let me
know!
Thanx... Jason
