[QUOTE=amtrosie;9885] I don't have a 7" Pri hose, i am also not a Tek Diver, not yet anyway. most, not if all wreck dives are between 40' to 140' deep with 140' being the sea floor and the cave entrance are 60' to 70' deep and they run from ocean salt to fresh water ponds inland. My 19cuf is my alt/back up/octo for wrecks/caves and that does have a bungee around my kneck. my normal octo is my Sherwood Gemini when reef diving and i still have a redundent SSI Spare Air.(just a teaser, the water temp stays a solid 84 degrees all year long hereunleyy you get in the fresh water, then it is 81..)
As for ScubaPro i do not have acces to get one out here, the only place that ships to Guam/APO-AP addresses without killing my wallet is scuba.com and they do not carry them. plus the maximus is the "ideal" model i'm looking for in hot and cold water since i will be going back to NJ(home) soon and will be diving there. I am curious if there is any known negitives on this gear and will it perform flawlessly in cold climates like is says.
thanks, took me almost three years to get around to it, but i wanted to be sure i know what the hell i'm doing under there. I am happy i did with all the "panic/stressor" drills we did.
