I am not sure what agency Ron is talking about here, but this looks a little fishy.

Let's start calling a spade a spade. - G << Start of Forwarded message via prodigy (R) mail >> From: ROB CASON Subject: Institutionalised Strokery Date: 10/18 Time: 04:58 PM Date: Thu, 19 Oct 95 06:55:15 +1000 From: ROB CASON [iantdaus@oz*.co*.au*] Subject: Institutionalised Strokery George, How's this for strokery? The buoyancy of an 88 cuft aluminium cylinder is 14.5 kg (32 lb) negatively buoyant The buoyancy of a Drager FGT rebreather is 39 kg (86 lb) negatively buoyant A diver 110 kg (242 lb) negatively buoyant (1 x Drager FGT and 6 x 88 cu ft ?) wearing a Fency BCD (15 kg / 33 lb buoyancy) would still wear a 9 kg (20 lb) weight belt. Want to hear more? These calculations have been made by an allegedly internationally respected organisation and endorsed by at least one prominient hyperbaric authority.
