	Also, I am getting ready to buy a dual backpack.  I am certain it will
be the OMS or DiveRite Transpack.   Anybody have suggestions to help
with my decision?  What are the problems and advantages that people have
experienced with these models?  And any suggestions on how to contact
OMS.  I have a 1-800 phone, but everytime I call it can't connect the call.

Dave: I own the OMS dual bladder with the twin OMS 125's.  The webbing is 
wearing terribly.  Also, I am getting corrosion (rust) on two of the o-rings as 
well as on the backplate where the wing nuts are.  They are going to replace 
this, but I haven't sent it in yet, cause I'm still diving pretty regularly.

OMS did give fast service when I bought the BC  last month.  However the tanks 
came in two shipments and the dive shop had to pay COD for the whole thing when 
the first shipment came.  So, there was no way to inspect the tanks that came 
in the second shipment.  The tanks were shipped with silica gel in them for 
moisture.  That's bad considering they needed oxygen cleaning for gas.

Overall, I'd give OMS a bad grade for customer service and intelligence because 
of this experience.
