Seriously, white is necessary, but I have windows ( JJ and the others do not) because I am paranoid about hitting somebody on the right side if I can not see them . Left side is easy since the mirror is so close to your eyes. I have the entire back past the side doors encased in a cage with wire on the windows. I have an on/off switch for the power lock on the back doors so that breaking into the front will not allow opening the back doors. I have nothing on the van that would indicate that I dive, so that reduces the temptation. In N. Florida, the cave diving scumbags will steal your gear. In Ft Lauderdale, it is the usual suspects who don't know what dive gear is. I also leave the van dirty so it looks less like there is anything valuable in it. When I get a new one, I will get one that has the same kind of system as my vette, which is unstealable other than with a giant forklift and a flatbed truck, and is then unusable if it is stolen. -----Original Message----- From: Erik [mailto:sumpcaver@wo*.at*.ne*] Sent: Friday, February 01, 2002 6:30 PM To: techdiver@aquanaut.com Subject: DIR and Solo Diving and vehicles Mr Graham wrote: >Maybe > tomorrow they can come up with a standard for what vehicle needs to be > driven. A white van, no windows (except for the cab of course)and barn doors. That is standard. :~) Personally, I would like a 3/4 ton 4WD Ford van for getting up in the mountains with all my stuff.
