	At TeK'94, (couldn't go to SF this year:( ), I asked Sheck about the
accuracy of the computer/depth gauge they used at Zacaton and he said that the
Aladin Pro was the most accurate (as a depth gauge) down below 700 ft compared
to the measurement made from the knotted shot line they had used, in fact
Dr. Ann Kristovich (sp?) had a slide of a board with several different gauges
which they took down to see how deep they'd go before failing, the funny thing
was a couple of casio's watch that kept on ticking pretty deep compared to some
more "fancy" depth gauges...
