I know where it is. Nope, never seen a paddlefish. Only fresh water dives
I've done in the US were in Texas and Florida. Any paddlefish in those
places?

I'm not concerned. Was just asking why he was so specific.

I know, I own both types. Although, wasn't that different for the early
Uwatecs? I seem to remember some old European (German?) norm, where some
middle value for water density was required to be used. Don;t have any of
the old manuals anymore.

See separate post.
