    I just had a meeting with Harry Wood in Granite Falls, Wa.

    He has the invention to hold all of my gear, its fantastic in the water.

    Without a boat, you still have your 'float' to present that divers flag.


    You must check it out, your students will be pleased, you will be pleased.

    A lot of our local instructors use these. He sells a very nice auger with them, too.

    They aren't cheap.

    I wouldn't use it. They make very nice well thought out and very expensive stuff, but unless I'm teaching I have no use for a float and If I'm teaching - given the distance and hills we have to climb to get to the water, I don't want a 40 lb float. The inner-tube floats work just fine and after 15 years it's still looks and works great. But that's just how we do it here.

    We use simillar floats with openwater classes all the time. Excepting the exo-skeleton, this isn't a new idea.
    I've never taken a GUE or UTD class. I guess I'm just DIRong.
