I hate to revert to my netcop role, but the title of this list is techdiver. 
Subjects like the size of lead shot, the diving resorts in Cozumel, the
diving experiences of 7-10 year olds, and so forth, are likely grist for the
rec.scuba newsgroup,and the scuba-l@br*.br*.ed* (subscribe by mailing
to listserv@br*.br*.ed*) mailing list.  

For some reason, over the past few days, this has degenerated from a 
technical diving list to a general scuba list.

As a general rule, I'd propose that if it is something that gets covered 
in an open water or 'advanced open water' course, or should be, it is not 
something that should be on this list.
