>>472792>don't like renting gear I breathe from in foreign countries.i called ahead to diveshop on Mo'orea, "Nothing but Ze finest Monsuir! BCs?, of course!"
,,, they had CRAP!! PURE<CRAP!
,no BC, and the tank was deeply pitted!, the tank harness was an old diaper!, no presure guage.
,, the tank, i couldnt get over how bad it was, rust valve,, i sat far from it.
,not haveing a BC i went with liter weights, about 12 pounds.( thats 192 ounces for you germans)
,balanced at about 10 feet (3.3 yards), after that i was sinking down the coral clifface to 70 feet on advice of our terible guide.
,,,badidea! no way i can make the surface without droping weight,, drop 5 and still have to hand over hand up the coral wall,, sorta like underwater HalfDome!
, so YA! trust NOOONE! especaly the French.
