Only one type of gear? Why limit yourself?

Oh -- i didnt mean that there was anything wrong with diving doubles --- sorry if it came across it that way, that was not my intention. I was just curious why someone would do that in 20ft of water.

Now i haven't dove the Abyss, i will have to put that on my "bucket list" but you are right, this has been a very interesting thread and i have learned much -- some of it i had to google (lol). I no longer use pink, but I still have them for murky dives and make sure to take them with me when i go as a just in case.

BTW I think pink is a good color

Whatever floats your... uh, sinks your rig

No need to apologize. I didn't go back and reread the original post and was just trying to be clear. I'm glad you read this thread and hope it was worth it to learn some things. That's what this is all about. All this could get very philosophical but the point is to have fun. I like challenges so I find trying new things enjoyable. Here's another piece of wisdom I heard over the weekend. "There's no such thing as a bad dive. There are just some dives you learn more from." That was from Bill Rennaker who's known as one of the "legends" in cave diving and it makes a lot of sense. Perfect dives are nice but the not so perfect dives provide education and make you a better diver. Christ of the Abyss is pretty and it's famous but once is enough LOL There are many more amazing sites all around Florida.
