Bruce,

that is not completely true.

I have built the scooters in cooperation with George. I asked him
before I built them. That was years ago. I always had his help if
necessary. Despite the fact that I have all the information how to
rewind the motors and did so with a lot of motors, currently all the
rewinded armatures in my scooters were rewinded by George.

So George is completely correct, when he puts our scooters in one
basket.

You guys are not realizing that there is a long time successful
information exchange between DIR divers around the world.

I am not in competition with George, and only I and my direct dive
partner Michael are using my scooters. All other divers in our team
are using scooters built by George.

When I built the scooters, I changed some points. But George did the
same. The Gavins today are not the same like the one's several years
ago. There was a point which had to do with the aft bulkhead and
centering of the shroud. We used different solutions to correct this.
The nylon cones have some advantages when hitting something. The pvc
does not swell on the other side. So I have to take care of isolating
the nylon to avoid swelling constantly. This has something to do with
the fact that I quite often dive some caves with partly low vis, where
I cannot even see the nose of the scooter.

There is only one relevant question: Do you want to trust your life to
scooters which are not built by someone who is doing the same?

Regards, Reinhard
