Subject: Re Tech Diving: How do you get down?

     Rod,

You have developed an astute method for separating the Resort Kids from the real
Water Dogs (as paraphrased below). 

I've developed a simpler method, that involves nothing more technical than an 
ordinary bathroom scale. By simply determining the gross poundage (or kilos) of 
D rings in a diver's possession one can easily measure a tech diver's status. To
get an even more accurate reading, subtract the weight of the diver's snorkel, 
if so equipped (gasp!) from the weight of the D rings.
