Message-ID: <2003@decwrl.UUCP> Date: Fri, 3-May-85 14:54:33 EDT Article-I.D.: decwrl.2003 Posted: Fri May 3 14:54:33 1985 Date-Received: Sun, 5-May-85 03:06:16 EDT Sender: daemon@decwrl.UUCP Organization: DEC Engineering Network Lines: 56 The call for data on SCUBA equipment has netted a good deal of information which I will post next week. The response was great and the advice is excellent (and mostly consistent!). In the mean time, there seem to be the basis for a "Great Question" on the relative merits of the various types, styles and manufacturers of diving suits. In order to get a little more objective data, I would like to ask fellow divers on the networks to fill in a questionnaire and send the results to me. When the results have been tabulated I will, of course, post them to this newsgroup for everyone to enjoy. -John A. Wasser (first open-water dive is tomorrow!)
