Hi MMC:

Were you in the Navy, go to Divers Institute of Technology or another
civilian dive schools?

For me I was in class 107/80 at DIT. I can still hear that over
enthusiastic ex SEAL yelling "sit up straight .......... you make the
suit look bad!"

Humm.... No more Mark V orientation? That's too bad. At the time I
was at DIT, 1980, I think there were only 1-2 other civilian schools
that had their students experience it... So goes the dinosaurs. There
was a guy I found on another group who had actually dove the HeO2
version of the Mark V while in the Navy. Now that must have been a
monster of a suit.
