so, who's really diving (on topic)

Perfect weather yesterday, rain & overcast, great for keeping the
swimming only crowd down. Did a "quickie", 120 ffw for 14, 30 min TDT (bud
using single 80), then a few shallow minutes down the run to shorten the
walk. Used 31% in dub AL80s, 3 mil full, 2 mil hood. Water was 74 deg, vis
around 75 ft, fair number of fish in spring & run, bikini count zero.

Have all 3 sets of dubs ready for a busy summer, starting next weekend.

Y'all diving or just talking?

Talking for now. It's really 25 more days before I leave for a 9-day Cocos
liveaboard, but since I have to spend the weekend before in Denver for a
cousin's wedding, the upcoming travel is getting closer than I like given my
current workload. Therefore, no time to waste playing in the cold local
Pacific waters when I'll be doing 25+ dives in warm remote Pacific waters in
a few weeks.

Pool lesson one for a friend who has always dreamed of diving.

Reminds me of why some of us teach...

Yep, if you have the patience. Friends do make that easier.

Most agencies would hate me, I'd send one in five to the golf course.

Was in the water last Thursday: 65 min, 15m with viz around 6-7m. It's
cuttlefish season and at the end of the 2 dives I did, I had 2 very
enthousiastic and happy newbies...

I'm back in the water next Thursday (but inland) and on Sunday I'm going
back to observe the cuttlefish (without newbies this time).


Only 3 more weeks and I'm on Borneo...

Just got back for a couple of dives. First, the USS San Diego off LI,
NY. Our largest armour clad cruiser sunk by German mine during WWI.
Since it was my buddies AOW "deep" dive, stayed above 100'. Vis was
about 40' with water temp a wonderfully comfortable (for us dry suit
divers) in the upper 40's. The dive lasted about 30minutes.
The second dive was the Reggie, a busted up steel wreck in 100' of
water. This was the lobster dive. Thousands of schooling porgies, very
large sea bass, a few black fish, and of course, what we came for...
lobsters. Vis was 50'. Oh and a few sharks were spotted. Awesome!

40' on the SD? outstanding.Before I leave here forever for the South,
maybe we can get together for a dive, even though I'm a bleeding heart
Clinton Liberal (and fairly DIR)?

I'll do a 5 or 6 foot dive sometime next week to find out what has fouled
one of my props. The water in my boat club isn't cold, but it is dark and
dirty. Other than that, I'll have to wait until Friday of next week.

That's the second time in a week I've been misquoted for Curtis. Please
y'all get it straight: He's the bigger one. I'm the more handsome.
