Sorry, did not mean to "tell stories". I was told in writing by Medtronic that all of their units were pressure tested to 100' without failure although they publicly suggest 50' as the limit. I could have worded my post a little better and am not a show off or a risk taker. Also I am not trying...
I have a Medtronic pacemaker (no defib) for electrical blockage, heart is strong and I swim and exercise regularly. I am aware that Medtronic's legal position is that the device is safe to 21/2 ATA but that all of their units are pressure tested to 100' during production and there has never been...
I have been very pleased with the "Proteus" wet suits manufactured by Fourth Element - I have a 3mm and a 7mm. Suits have a built-in neck seal and are very warm and durable and come in a size "long".
John, I carry all of my weight on the cam bands and the pockets are pushed as far toward the wing as possible. Lean back on the wing like riding a tube down the Hooch.
I carry mine vertically (it's a smb) and it is bungeed through holes in the plate and bungees are held in place with stainless washers on the back of the plate. SMB rides in a vertical position under my right arm directly above d-ring on waist belt.

I will be 70 in a month and am still going strong. Completed dive #2000 a few months ago and am still completely comfortable in the water. I am convinced that scuba keeps me alive and healthy,except for the cast on left foot for tendonosis, 9 more days and 32 minutes and I will be out of that...
I have not been to Saba but Little Cayman is my favorite Caribbean destination - have been maybe 6 times and stayed at Little Cayman Beach Resort. Wall diving is extraordinary, visibility almost always 100+, very pleasant people......
