Very cool - :supz:

Looks like they all had DIR equip configurations.

DPVs look like a lot of fun!!

But it also confirms to me that cave diving demands a special breed of diver & special training.

My hat's off to those who master it :salute: :salute: (- but I'll stick with OW!)

Have you considered a credit union?
