The most I ever dragged were three 80's under my arm with a scooter, doubles, argon bottle and light cansiter. I can't even count how many bottles he has- plus, the RB 80 on his back.:head

gman said:Wholley COW!!! How many dollar bills would you be taking with you underwater on one of those dives??
Jon said:I would think that $35,000 sounds a little on the low side.
Aren't the rebreather about $7,000 a pop, and they use two plumed together. The scooters, long body style, are another $3,800 a piece. The dry suits are all of those Custom "cave cut" DUI TLS-305's, which I think run over $3,000 with the underwear. Add to that the HID canister light which I've seen run on EBay for close to $2,000. That's a pretty good sum and I haven't even add in a single regulator- and everyone of those dozen bottles has one on it- most with a brass SPG attached. Now add all of the little stuff like $100 back up lights, digital guages, compass, masks, back up masks, fins, spring straps, reels, spools, tools, lap tops, helium analyzers, 02 analyzers, video cameras, video lights, gas fills (big money) and a truck to drag it all there in!
Makes an F1 seem inexpensive and my new carbon fiber monofin down right cheap!
