Is David Rhea from Maryville, TN (USA) out there on the net?  Anybody know?

I was reading through a few older issues of the NACD Journal and wanted to
know what gear problems/short falls have caused major problems.  I am looking
into the caving/scootering gear as I'll be moving down from Michigan to Tenn.
soon.  I saw George's statement in one journal about manufacturers not asking
and/or listing to divers about problems.  If I remember correctly, George,
you said you had too many dead friends to worry about some manufacturers
feelings when you didn't dive with their (deadly) gear on a big WKPP dive.

I don't want me and mine to become fish food due to ignorance.  Do tell!
What should I not buy and be leary of and WHY--Give details as to why please.
Thanks for everyone's time that will be spent responding.  I know this is a
very broad question, but I'd like to get all the feedback I can.  I haven't
bothered with the caver list, because it seems to me the gear is almost the
same for wreck diving and caving (scooters, lines, lights, tanks, etc.)
