Want to get really concerned: When I was a marine biology student I took a course in interstitial fauna.....or the organisms that live between the grains of sand on the beach. Pretty disgusting if you look, which I don't. (BTW: I changed majors right after that, now I only look at virtual bugs)
Anywhere you look there is a whole other world which we on the upper end of the food chain choose to ignore. Ever really examine the dirty you vacumn out of your rugs?

I'm a microbiologist, which gives me a certain fatalistic approach to bacterial exposures...
Most of the many microbiological agents found in seawater are not a threat to a healthy diver. The only time it becomes a major concern is when diving near any sewage. Thats a definite no-no.

I dove about a year ago in a sewage plan in Arizona, that had some backed up drains. Someone had to do it and get paid why not me. Oh by the way I looked for the brown trout and couldn't find them. LOL After the dive all commercial gear was incinerated $5000.00 Des-co Pot Dive hat as well as dry suites. Cannot even describe the smell.

"CRAP!" Mine just got deconed and put right back into service after both dives. :mooner: I guess that's the difference a few years make.PaulSmithTek:
The Navy Crude dive I did ate all the rubber parts within a month so everything was new in the end. Ummmm, not in the end like the ends above.
Some of the rubber turned into a gooy tar that stuck to everything it got close to.Gary D.
