    If it's equipped with the proper autopilot, it can auto-hover right above the sink or parking lot. Just make sure you finish the dive before it runs out of fuel.

    What a great foto Mike-! Is the chopper yours? Would you consider flying it as the 'Panda' in our movie-? Wanna be Snorkle-?

    Seriously though, that is a nice looking vehicle...you're fortunate to be in it-! We all envy you. We should be so lucky, huh-!
    Fly & dive Safe,

    I wish. I do, occasionally, get to fly one just like it(minus the hoist), though. It's predominantly used to run out to offshore oil rigs hauling workers and equipment back and forth. It is, IMO, the best all around helicopter out there. I can't, however, afford the $3+ Million price tag..

    It could have notbeen said better. I know from experience (have a Corrola and an Element ) .

    Human Evolution makes me wonder: from HomoErectus to HomeSapiens, from Dry Caves to Wet Caves. Nevertheless, from HomoErectus to HomeSapiens, from Org. Caves still to Org. Caves! DAMN ...

    My UDV is a 1998 Dodge 3500 Dulley 4X4 with an above the cab ARE cap. There is enough room to run a small dive shop with a changing room in the back. The only downside is the fact that it is so wide, it is hard to get it into some places.

    I use a 2000 F-150 EXT cab for diving. Great for hauling several sets of gear and several dive buddies to cave country or pulling a boat to the lake. Heck, it even does duty hauling kids to work, the mall, and taking the wife to those big home improvement places where she can spend all my money.
    I guess my ultimate dive vehicle would be an amtrac, the troop transports the USMC uses. Those puppies can go anywhere. Plenty of room for changing and lockable for anti-theft. It would be hard as heck to tow, and impervious to gun shots from irate land owners or partying locales. It even has a to ward off attack.

    Hey----Ho----Lets go!!!!!!!!
