    do you know how they planned their gas? were they diving thirds? how did they share gas on exit? long hose and towing? swimming?

    Couple guys from Missouri who didn't really have an awefull lot of experience from what I've gathered... and nearly kacked themselves in JB a couple months ago. Too far, too fast, with scooters; and a little luck from a passerby who just happened along to find them and bring them out.

    I don't know what the gas plan was, bbut whatever it was, it wasn't enough. They didn't share air. They both ran out about the same time.

    OK, I guess RN was responding to LCF. Without some of the details, it didn't seem to fit this thread.

    Actually, I was responding to LiteHedded's question right above my post.
