Please tell us what is wrong with the Silent Submersion scooter. Some friends and I are actively considering pro-level scooter purchases in the next year or so (Have two crappy Makos already, obviously). We have also heard that there is at least a 9-month wait for Gavins, and that Trey is the sole source for production. We also wonder what there is to a scooter, other than a rewound Mako motor and a cylindrical hull? I know the downsides to the Mako: no access to the leaky motor compartment, oval hull with leaky o-rings, both hands required for good control, low depth limit (180fsw if you're lucky), difficult to replace battery quickly with spare, etc. All comments welcome. Thank you.

There is no such. You assholes are really getting to be a pain in the ass.Why don't you try learning from the pros instead of constantly fucking with them. None of you pussies dives, none of you pussies has done jack shit, and I am really sick of the constant crap surrounding GUE and the WKPP. You morons do what we do, then tell us how it is done. The fact is that nobody but IANTD is stupid enough to have divers dive ocean with steel tanks and a wetsuit, the fact is that aluminum 80's are the tank of choice for ocean, 104's are the tank of choice for drysuit cave, and aluminum 80's are the tank for wetsuit cave. Florida is a drysuit cave dive, Mexico is a wetsuit cave dive. None of you morons even understand why we do what we do, and I am sick of explaining it over and over only to have you screw it up , misinterpret it, and drivel about it when none of you has the experience to tie my shoes or JJ's. I'll be glad to pick apart anything the rest of the agencies are doing ad infinitum, and I will show why what we do is right. Any time any of you want to argue that, I will make you look like the morons that you so obviously are. As for this scooter thread, if anyone wants to know why the silent submersion ' is a ghastly piece of crap, I'll be glad to explain that as well. None of you has a clue, trust me - not a fucking clue. What you do and what we do are galaxies apart. Let me quite Lee Iacocca , "Lead, follow , or get out of the way". None of you can lead, and I personally don't want you following me and screwing is it up, so get out of our way. --MS_Mac_OE_3082199507_14126020_MIME_Part Content-type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Re: Morons , bullshit and crappy scooters</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> Okay, I'll bite.
