Hi,

The Drowning Accident Rescue Team is looking at new
equipment.  Our first purchase will be drysuits (shells).
We need the following:

1)  Protection from Hazmat => Oil, gas, brake fuel, etc from
    vehicles that have "mistakenly" entered the water".
    Chemicals from irrigation, plane fuel, etc.

A friend of mine did a body recovery from a storage tank of AvTur (jet fuel).
He used a Viking Pro, with a locking neck ring that mated to a KMB 17.
I don't know, but I imagine that he used the double mushroom exahust valves
in the hat.  He was fine after the dive (well he was crazy, but no *more*
so).
Cheers Jason :)
