I never implied anything of the sort and you know it.I've never *ever* suggested only DSS gear is fit to dive, or that anybody that chooses some other path is a lessor diver. For you to imply that I have is uncalled for.
Your gear fits the original question nicely. My only issue is the people who adopt the "If you even think you want it, you must not know what you are talking about." or, "It's only there to make the Scuba Company more money." attitude.Again what is in question here? What is the most reasonable, most cost effective, most likely to be useful information to provide to a *New* diver looking into his *first* BP&W.
But alas, they are a small but vocal group.
