Well, I think I may have answered my own question... The reason tungsten isn't widely used is probably due to the fact that the first quote I got on it was 4/5 of a scuba unit per pound!!! Gulp!!! :pale: (that's $80 for those who don't count in scuba units). I'm still intrigued with a couple other ...

I've been interested in trying these. These are definitely useful for the tropics. Not so sure about our darker, murkier waters. If...

Tulum itself is about as far South as we ever get (although the Ruins there are very nice). Playa del Carmen has ferry service to C...
