In Response To: Re: A heretical thought about the GMT >>> ()

First of all, I was trying to say in my initial post that the valve is for the ascend back to the surface, not for the descent.

However, I wasn't talking about speleologists, but was merely drawing a line from them to divers who work 100m under water and might lose track whether it's day or night. Also, I think those diver folk might in fact _be_ globetrotters. So, I still think that a He valve would be appropriate.

It's just a line of thought. I'm not really on a mission here, but merely constructing another of those fantastic marketing stories. And, as we all know, real divers wear Rolex Sea-Dwellers anyway. ;-)
