Thank you to everyone who has taken the survey so far. Some very interesting stuff, especially in the comments section. I'm amazed at how many folks consider themselves vintage divers by simply adding an exhaust hose to their modern equipment setup...The waters we are looking at will be in the low 80's so a wetsuit would not be necessary...Ok, James might want one. Visibility will be OUTSTANDING and we will be using 80cf aluminum cylinders. Hope this clears up some of the confusion. If you have not take the survey please do so. I'll be making the announcement and discussing the results of the survey at SDV.
Doing it right should include some common sense, not just blindly following specs and instructions. .Gary D, AWAP on SB

Unless there are jellyfish. If there are, then it's full suit and hood for me...
Quick Robin, to the Voitmobile!
