The proximity to the Australia problem rings bells.  I'm sure we're talking
about the same event.  I'm equally sure we're not talking about the same
location.  I'm sure it was discussed on tech diver, but to the best of my
recollection, I've never subscribed to tech diver.  This makes me pretty
certain that it was on Rec.Scuba since there has always been a bleed over
between the two groups. I did a Deja search on Bungie and Dive and did not
find anything I recognized.  Perhaps it's dropped of, perhaps I'm not real
swift with Daja searches.  Either way, I didn't find it.
