Tamas:What you should do is ask him to explain the reasoning behind the problems (with both DR and OMS) ..... if it makes perfect sense and has proper validity you can believe him otherwise look somewhere else for answers and specs. After all, he can base his judgement on personal preference or on kick-backs from a LDS, better yet be influenced by some silly agency that claims they know everything about diving.
Aquahump and I are in the same boat. (Actually he is my buddy, so.....) In any case, our mentor is most certainly NOT getting a kickback-we aren't getting the gear from the dive shop he is affiliated with 'cause they can't even come close to the deal a shop much farther afield is offering. In fact, I can pretty much say that he would like us to get them somewhere else since he's not too fond of the shop owner we are going through. In any case, I think if ya cut him, he'd bleed DR so him having something against DR won't hunt....
I wasn't around for the conversation Aquahump had with the Guru, so I can't say the true objective reason why he said "Stay away from the DR manifold, go Sea Elite or Halcyon....." :06:
I think I'll give him a call and see why he is steering Aquahump in the direction he's lumbering in....
