--part1_112.de0f4b6.29bd57b6_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Greetings: I have owned a Dacor, a Farallon, and now a Gavin. I also have dove Torpedoes. The Gavin is in a class by itself. It is fast and easy to control. When you first get a close look at the Gavin, it looks very different from the other DPVs. I finally figured out why it looked different--it looks like equipment to be used in a commercial activity. It looks 'industrial strength'. The speed startles you at first until you realize how easy it is to control. On the first dive I screwed up putting one of the O-rings in and the Gavin flooded and it still ran. I don't recommend flooding it with salt water but with a thorough rinsing, it was fine. :) I am going back to Hawaii next Saturday and we (Garry Wilson of Dive Tek Adventures and I) will conduct a number of test dives with the Gavins. Any one who is interested in the results, please let me know. Regards, John. --part1_112.de0f4b6.29bd57b6_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>Greetings: <BR> <BR>I have owned a Dacor, a Farallon, and now a Gavin.
