If your local dive shop is as user friendly as mine they will probably
give you all the lead you need to sink that $800 carbon fiber/titanium/
ceramic/plastic super light weight tank. Hey, maybe cave divers and
other "entry point oriented" divers could just leave their weights
at the entry point. Then we could just carry our 50 lb rigs to the
entry point, slap on some weights, and go diving!
Maybe said magazine editor could invent a new sport using composite
tanks without added weights...He could call it SCSBA (Self Contained
Surface Breathing Apparatus).
Which reminds me, whose turn is it to post to rec.scuba and ask
what "SCUBA" stands for?
