so I called and was quoted $1595+$270 (of taxes and different surcharges).

I'd have to add money for O2 and some tank rental. Did people get another price ?

You need to book with me.... I reserved and paid a deposit on this back at DEMA 2007... so my price is way better...

Dave at nekton jsut called me with you number I will call you today.

Don't penalize them too much.... they'll need that extra $$$$ to pay the Optima tax, err I mean to buy EAC's....

Pushing it aggressively (5-6 hours), they'll need one a day... $35/day....

I'll fill the radial on day 3.... (10-13 hours)... $7/day....

Even at the rate you quote, it will take a long time to make up for the savings for price of the loaded Optima versus the price of a stripped Meg.

Of course, we didn't just get the Optima for the savings.

I find the easiest was to piss off an Optima diver is to load Sofnolime up wind from them.

No - the easiest way is to recommend they have a salad for lunch... that really get them going....

Howard, don't even bother trying to reason with them, because it's an attribute the drone mentality of the Collective forbids!

I can just feel the confusion

and envy

flowing through their cold blooded anti-freeze filled veins at the thought of yet another 2nd class showing against the Optimas at a major South Florida event!

Some day they will learn to acknowledge their submissive role

to the Optimas and accept their place in the rebreather food chain!
