You've got neighbors in this group. Which neighborhood?

Limey.

Hi Ed,

When I left LBTS in 96 it couldn't even support a dive shop (there were
no parking meters yet either). I know it has gained in popularity in
the past decade BUT there's bound to be some folks amongst my N.A. and
global viewers who don't yet know the place.

BTW... have you by wild chance come across Ricky and Kona at the LBTS
beach? If so tell them their CDN friend with the mustange says hi!

Cheers.

Don't tell Andres that. IIRC he's had his shop there since at least '95. At
least that's when I met him there.....and it was a dive shop before that
too.

Hi Limey,

It was Captain Als up to 94 then shut down (or was sold) and I'm happy
to see it's doing better. It's where i got my certification with a
great dive master by the name of Stan. He's a big guy with a passion
for night diving and LOBSTERS.

Cheers... Rand

Ah OK. I lived across the street from there and used to hang out with Andres
back in '95, before I was a diver. That was right after he moved in
there.....he's still there, I see him occasionally. Haven't heard of Stan
but there's a lot of turn over with instructors/ DM's around here.

You'll be happy to know that the lobsters this were HUGE and SHALLOW.
Not lots of them but most people got 6 or so...

The beach divers got their fill early.

I make a left out my door, walk straight until it's easier to swim, then
swim until I see the wreck.
Oh, and do you mean A1A?

Yeah, aka S. Ocean Blvd... For some reason, it looked like an A1A1 on
my map... Looking a little closer, it turns out that what I thought
was a '1' was in fact a '|' instead...
