Submersion is significantly cheaper to make. The guy is merely using my
benchmark to price, and then is not delivering the same performance. He
could get away with this because I could not keep up with orders, but now my
supply chain is secured , caught up and increased so I can produce a lot
more than before. I lowered my price several times as I found economies of
scale.

I can make any form of scooter, and have done so. Anyone who wants to see
any of my other scooters can stop by my house and look. The one we use in
the WKPP is the Gavin design with standard internal part sizes that make
everyone's scooter and parts interchangeable. I could even make a submersion
( of course done right, not kluged ) and make it interchangeable, but  then
I have to go through the risk period knowing that there might be screwups
with the flexing of the back end and nose. We solved that problem in the EE
lights by using a middle bulkhead and a hard material lid. If we used HDPE
for the lid, it would bow and leak badly. Anyway, one more word out of those
assholes and I will make their scooter properly and a hell of a lot cheaper,
so I suggest these idiots not test me.

What I did with the current version of the Gavin is make one up and have
some of my young guns dive them it and out of deep water at our dive sites
accompanied by divers on regular Gavins and towing Gavins to see if there
would be any issues over a period of a year. When there were not, I went
ahead and produced those. While I don't have time for that kind of thing, I
sure have no problem making anything anyone wants cheaper and better and let
them take the risk ( like they are with that piece of shit) , and the fact
is that most people who buy things like that don't have a clue and don't do
what we do anyway, so there probably is not much risk. Hell, just about
anything works at Ginnie Springs or bounce diving.

Funny who goes the distance and what they use, and funny who explores the
serious wrecks and what they use. Not a coincidence, let me assure you.

Hey Giveme,

At first you come out for the Submersion, and against the
Gavin. You say George is ripping people off, even though
the Submersion costs more.

Then you claim to be a WKPP diver, yea right, and want to
stay on the team. But Gavins are the only the only
scooters used in the WKPP. So you want to continue using
a Gavin, even though you say the Submersion is superior?

Now you have put yourself on both sides of the fence and
don't have the balls to sign your name and stand up for
either side. By your own admission you're a hypocrite.
Who would believe any of your nonsense BS? You're done.
Time to sit down.

Grady
