>"That's great! Now all you have to do is finish and market the thing and
explain to me what on earth an HPV is!"

An acronym similar to ROV or AUV.  HPV stands for "Human Powered Vehicle":
like the pedal-powered wetsub Wade Carson built and races.

" Hmmm, maybe someone should put together a "Super-pack" of submarine
videos."

Well, I firmly believe the more positive public exposure personal
submersibles receive, the better it is for all of us; so yeah, that sounds
like a good idea to me.

" Any more pocketknives?"

Ha!  Nope!  But with the discovery of the knife,  I now have renewed hopes
of finding a torch lighter that's been missing-in-action for the past
decade!

" Hey, they might even like that idea!"

Snowball's chance, really; but hey!  Wouldn't that be cool if they did?  ;-)

" Progress and time off is good, although diving with subs and spearguns is
better."

Yeah, it's like Errol Flynn and David Niven said in DAWN PATROL: "It's a
dirty job...but somebody's got to do it!"

" How about a 15.6Kw strobe? Anthony"

ANYTHING to keep that 75-year-old granny in the 1960 Ford Falcon
stationwagon from left-turning in front of you and saying "But Officer, I
didn't SEE the motorcycle!"

Have a good one, 'tone!
