buff once bubbled...
Worse than the knife is the useless AL80 tank. And I bought two of them. All I use them for is to check if the LDS is vigilant on annual inspection and hydro testing.......they are, and I pay for it. I never use the tanks. If I dive locally it's easier to rent tanks-closer to the dive sites. And if I dive on a trip I don't go lugging my AL80s on a plane. So they sit in the basement, waiting to explode.
I have plenty of use for more tanks... Infact, ship them here and any time your in FL you'll have free use and access to 8 tanks as they would expand my collection!
Hmm.. OH! While its been useful, it needs some serious mod. My wife and I purchased mesh bags for carrying gear to and from the sandy beaches for dives. These bags had seperate pockets for fins (nice right?) that the zippers broke on. Also, the "backpack" straps are a great idea, but set up for an 8 year olds shoulders. I cannot comfortably carry the bag in any position.
WVMike - Seal style is like ranger style, etc.. upside down on the shoulder strap with the handle in the down position for easier and safer draw from the crossing hand. One would not want to try and pull a knife out and then down in front of their face when in position of needing it.
