Subject: Rix-trix
you rix sa3 and sa6 owners might want to get in touch with frank zarick,
owner of aquasapiens dive shop in vancouver, bc, canada. he has done some 
interesting re-engineering that has extended the lifetime of these rings 
so that instead of looking like a bad bar-b-q job after 100hrs they are 
still snow white.


regards, em
