Rod,
My boyfriend and I built a new rig for the deep dive I'm going to do with you
next
month in those Florida caves you've told me so much about.
We took a full sized gerbil tank from his old set, and well
you can imagine the rest...
We then built a harness with some old handcuffs that he had lying
around - they'll lock over my forearms to hold the tank steady (yeah, it'll
restrict my mobility a bit, but it's worth it to take it deep...).
For later, we came up with a pretty interesting rig too, we bought 300 ft. of
garden hose from Home Depot, and superglued a Micra 2d stage to the end of
it. The boat tenders (John's has volunteered for that job) will just
have to blow me real hard , and with the other end of the hose we could
just zip-tie to our ankles (to keep them as far away from our 'nads as
possible).
And for getting it in/out quickly, my boyfriend rigged up one of the old jets
from his jacuzzi that mounts on the bottom of the tank. I'll have to carry 4
Die Hard batteries, with a 12v/120v converter to power it, but that just means I
I figured I should get about 20-30 knots out of that baby, which will make
getting back into the cave quickly a
breeze...
See ya, deep brother...
