assistant: Notice*****Notice*****Notice*****Notice
Can anyone out there provide info on where I can find parts
for my DPV.("Diver's Propulsion Vehicle",I call it a underwater
scooter) It is made by "TEKNA" model "3X". There are several of us here
in Saudi Arabia with these things and all of us need some type of part. I
see this DPV still being used on various movies and TV series which
means parts are still out there somewhere. Any help on this will be
appreciated by us.
Please send e-mail info to : sly@midwan.com or kljohnson@jed.naseej.com

Darn! Was there in March, and went on a trip organised for us with the Perth
Diving Academy (Fremantle); did two spots on Rottnest, one I called "Flat
Caves" (I think), and another off Bathurst Point (not sure of the name of the
site). Fair bit of surge, but quite a lot to see. Not sure when I'll be back
in your part of the world, but will look you up when I do.
I have to say you seem to have pretty well priced gear in Perth, although
some of the shops' teaching facilities looked to be a bit of a worry (and
some were great) when I had a look around the city and Fremantle. Don't dive
as much as I would like to, as the sea is some distance away (like over the
Blue Mtns)...
