Hey Dolphin, Welcome to the list first of all... If you don't trust the intentions of your LDS 100% this is a good place to get a clue... I noticed that you have already done some reading up on Backplates... If you have ANY consideration towards diving doubles sometime - I strongly...

Hey ReefRaff, couple of questions here - Were you diving LP104's or HP100's? And in a wetsuit??? To 200 fsw? That would in my book take some serious brass balls - what kind of water temp did you have down there? I am curious what kind of mix you were diving for that and what your stops...

He - thanks Roak, it's amazing what level of agreement there is going on here - Gavin it is... Big T

A TOY you ask??? Here is a SERIOUStoy for you - and I have heard that you can REALLY impress the chic's with one of these too... http://www.gavinscooters.com/ Big T

well, those are all things that are unacceptable... hehe... Ok - I tried to do the prudent thing - but I guess I'm ending up jus getting the Gavin as I can't think of any reason to look any other places... You're right uncle Pug, it is ss - I had the UV name stuck in my head still cheaper...

Hmm - it wasn't silent submersion - I'll have to go look for it - looks like a reverse engineered thing as well - it looked identical (so was the prices). as far as the gavin site being cocky - well, we have heard that about George before and like Pug said - he goes where nobody else does...

Thanks Uncle Pug, Let me guess - No need o look elsewhere if I read you correctly? I am not expecting to, but good analysis requires checking the options, someone just offered me a pair of scuba pro scooters for $1k - I nixed that without any problem... I have seen somewhere a scooter that...

I am considering a gavin scooter - the little one - does anyone know if there is a web site? I would also like any concerns/issues as well as comparable brands possibly. I am looking for the little one as we do not have extended cave penetration here that would warrant a bigger one - any...

now THAT is what I'm talking about... big T

Narc, do the hooters dive too? Cool - I was not aware of that... Hmm, maybe there is hope after all - and I thought I would never find anyone who would be impressed by a Gavin scooter... Oh - and where are the female firefighters??? Silly me, Big T (on the note of "holidays" - I...

I have a DiveRite Transpac II - I like it - but I don't love it - this thing does not look much like a transpac anymore as the fluff has been removed - I took the cumberbund of right away - and have since peeled things off - I dive it like a BP, but it's not as comfortable as the SS - so I am...

Ahh - I will have to practise this - I believe this is why my buddy and I just about spat out our regs from laughing when we participated in a deep dive class... Oh - and we forgot to get out of the water after the instructor determined 15 minutes... If you don't mind - I will leave my...

Rototillers???? I don't even know what that is... I'll see you tonight - going to pick up my suit today, with a little luck the new boots will not be leaking... Big T

TM - If you are worried about coming in a day before and leaving a day later we'll find a place to put you up - I have a couch if nothing else... Not sure I want to dive with only mods though... ;-) Big T

Kate - I really thought the toilets were a private thing... No respect anymore. Big T

DD - Uhm - what to expect - well, let's just say that if you can think of what "all hell breaks loose" means at 60 fsw - you will have a pretty good idea... Really - the class drills skills - such as buoyancy, trim, finning, valve drills, S drills and mask removal - remember when you had to...

Well, you could bring out hte old dusty speedo's - if nothing else - it would thrill the ladies... Another good idea is to get a dry suit - naturally - Trilam is the way to go for you... I highly recommend the class - I was not sure if you were ready for that - a lot of people don't care...

FA - pretty simple in my mind... (And I know that there are other minds who will disagree with me)... Neoprene will compress as you descent, alas, the buoyancy charateristics changes the deeped you go, and since the material is getting flattened, you also loose insulation... To top it...

Hey Tommy, I'm happy to hear that you came out of that alive - sounds like one of those things where you learned something the hard way. If you are in touch with the halcyon people - get the Fundamantals of diving book from them (may only be available from GUE), it has a lot of the answers...

But I already voted - ... it's not fair Big T (I'm going diving!)
