Thanks. Sea Hunt is the reason I dive.

That's right. Good to see a familiar face. That was a big day as I recall. Swampsters from as far as Venezuela. I think I will be testing the waters at Athens again soon. Good place to get a refresher.

What happened with Mike? He was the most gung ho diver in the group, taking every course, buying new equipment everyweek, posting to the board multiple threads everyday...then nothing...gone?

Glad to hear Des is still active. Still owe Tabitha $20.00 for my TSD tee shirt. Hopefully I'll get a chance to pay her before too much more time passes. Let's see, 7 years interest on $20...hmmm

So, how many of the original Swampsters are still around? I joined on the 2nd group dive to Possum Kingdom back in June 2001.

They've been closed?

Really weird about Mike though, he was so gung ho. Last I heard he was taking the Dive Master training and buying every new piece of gear in sight. I don't believe I ever saw BJ or Lynnette again after that 2nd dive at PK.

Darn shame isn't it. I know the feeling though. It's not like I decided to stop diving, but there's only so many days in the week. Before you know it a year or two has gone by. I am going to try to make a conscious effort to get out some this summer. At least to Athens and hopefully one...

Yes, I joined the club on their 2nd dive outing to Possum Kingdom. That was a great day at Athens. Do you ever hear from Texas Mike or Des or Tabitha? At to Coz, I am thinking hard about the June timeframe.

Natasha, If we're talking next year, sometime around the Easter week is best for me. If we're talking this year, I can't go to near Thanksgiving due to fact I have another family trip planned for that time. This year May thru August would work best. Chris Hipp, Thanks, yes I was...

Would like to go sometime, but don't have a dive buddy. Would like to know if the Texas Swamp Divers ever do a group trip?

Hey NetDoc! Good to see you're still around.

Hello Natasha, I've been gone from the board for a while. Good to see someone from the old days. Do you have any group trips in the works?

Hey, don't throw things at me, but I don't get all the angst about cruise ship passengers. I like to dive and I like to cruise. I've been to Cozumel several times on different cruises, but never thought it was all that crowded, or anything to be avoided. :confused::confused:

Dallas area is a pretty large space. If you narrow it down a little, that might help.

How big is this place and how many divers are there at any one time?

According to that, you may not be allowed to dive, if you're not needed. Does anyone know what percentage of your requests are normally accepted?

You do understand they're waiting for Castro to die. There's no way any American government, Democrat or Republican could ever say "you won" to Fidel. Rightly so, by the way.

I remember signing up for the Cert course and purchasing the obligatory; fins, mask, snorkel. Of course I couldn't wait for the scheduled class so, I dashed out to the nearest pool, donned my minty fresh new gear with every intention of plunging my face into the water and breathing like a fish...

Don't know what became of Texas Mike, but if memory serves, CavernQT designed the original logo. I too have the original TShirt...not for sale either. The design was slightly modified and placed out on Cafe Express in early 2003. I believe txlakerat and TXDiver were the driving forces behind...
