No offense to Mr. Cameron, but I was kinda pulling for this guy. Last I heard, Branson was backing him via Virgin Oceanic, but they've been really quiet lately…anyway, it's a great talk.

Re: Dry suit versus BC buoyancy question
Since getting my White's I have read a lot of different threads about dry suits and controlling buoyancy. I see a lot of divers saying they only use their BC for buoyancy control and put just enough gas in their dry suit to stop the squeeze and then there is the "use only your dry suit" f...

Re: Submarine and kayak in one !
The constant flow looked pretty massive- at that rate, I think I'd be worried about running out of breathing gas more that C02! Pretty cool idea, though- how did that propulsion system work? some crazy fin on an invisible rod or something?

Re: Rinsing gear.
Yep. As long as you don't turn the valve off. The potential for serious damage happens when you drain the tank. If you don't fill it up before you turn it on, you could be conducting an unplanned test of your temperature and pressure relief valve....and a lot of those aren't installed to code. Yup....

Re: Rinsing gear.
I think if you are just opening the lower drain valve the supply line will refill the water heater from the top as you drain off 20 gallons from the bottom. Although I am not a plumber and don't play one on TV... Yep. As long as you don't turn the valve off. The potential for serious damage happens...

Very interesting. Yeah, I dived here with Marc and Bob shortly after the removal, and it was indeed a wasteland. Nothing like what I'm seeing in your vids. I might just need to head up there soon.

It may not even make it over here- the JJ is a CCR that's pretty popular all over Europe, but isn't available in the US, for example. But....yeah, I bet this beast will go for 15-20K based on what I'm seeing so far.
