It is with great interest hat we've watched, over the last year, a baffling trend in Northern California: apparently, the prefered Technical Diver's vehicle is the Prius. Dubs, stages, scooters, X-table and all.
As one of those NorCal Prius owners, I'll just say that I am continually amazed at just how much stuff I can fit in the back of that thing. Plus, 48mpg to Monterey and back makes me a happy diver.
Don C. deserves the credit for my conversion though - if I hadn't seen how much gear he comfortably fit in the back of his Prius, I probably wouldn't have thought to get one.
