I guess they call it "four gram" in stead of C-4. Obviously, DUI C-4 four is very expensive in any currency, and that is why we see so many bullshit undergarment recommendations. C-4 is also very difficult to maintain properly, so most people screw it up and then the bullshit stuff feels good to them by way of comparison. -----Original Message----- From: David [mailto:reinhard@oc*.co*.au*] Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2002 7:50 AM To: techdiver@aquanaut.com Subject: RE: Drysuit management and weighting, let's try this again Thanks George, C-4 sounds like the way to go. But I couldn't find it on the DUI website...do they have another name for it? I have also been advised that it sells at around $800 dollars in Australia so I may have to improvise for a little longer! (And as usual I will tell my wife that it only cost $200 dollars!)
