Hi, Wayne!  I read Mike's follow-up post with the newspaper report, but it
was still short on detail.  It'd be interesting to know if the dive
operation pumped gas other than compressed air?  If you wouldn't mind
posting them as they come to hand, I'd certainly be interested in any follow
up accounts of what actually ocurred.

Also - and as an aside - what are the cylinder testing requirements in
Canada in terms of a VIP as opposed to hydrostatic tests?
