Jim, I saw Chip was making noise about diving the Oriskany some time in the future. we need to invite ourselves and crash his party.

Andy's a good guy, fairly opinionated, which is why I didn't buy my my first setup from him. After doing the research and deciding what combination I wanted he tried to tell us that the scubapro gear was junk and steer us toward dive rite. Now I know Dive rite is good, but scubapro isn't junk, so out the door I went never to return.

Ah, gotcha. SWS is good shop, the owner is really nice, but he's got a real negative opinion on GUE / UTD diving that I just can't get on board with.

You gotta admit the GUE guys have turned it into some sorta cult. Really do you need all that redundancy for a 40 foot rec dive? really??

Ah yes, talking to myself again. just like being home with the wife...

You probably would have laughed about our tripple redundacy policy when rock climbing 50ft

But hittin' the deck from 50 isnt pretty.

Neither was that rapid scuba ascent from about 40ft we helped rescue http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/near-misses-lessons-learned/268397-real-rescue-course-very-close-near-miss.html

So redundancy? It isnt hurting anybody ;-).

Hi Brewski. Hi Ms Brew! Missing you all!

No but a pony bottle for 40 foot breakwater dives is a bit overkill.
