Congratulations Tony! That sounds like a lot of fun. When you get settled in, let me know. I'll drop in for a few dives! Enjoy that beautiful blue water!

GRAMPA TONY--CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I can just see your life changing. "I'd really like to go diving, but Brenda and I are watching the baby this weekend...." You'll be a SUPER grandpa! Have you already found some fins to fit baby Ryan? Wishing you the best and hoping that Jodi manages...

Tony, Just be ready, next time I'm ditching the digital camera and bringing the SLR to capture your stunning poses. The always fashionable, bag lady :D

Vett, I'm jealous! Just last night I was showing my husband several of my future trip destinations on a map of Mexico, pointed to Veracruz, and said one of the swampsters lives here! So many dive spots, so little time.... Hasta luego, mi buen amigo! Tabatha

Daylight, I'm fairly certain that the skills development portion that you took was more extensive than what I encountered. Zagnut, You do have to pre-arrange your diving. They prefer 72-hours notice. Certain activities are done while Aquarena Center is closed, while others are done...

Herman, Unfortunately, I was so busy with work that I didn't get any time to check out the dive shops, or even scope out the quarry. Working really puts a damper on my dive opportunities! I would have liked to attend the meeting, it's always nice to meet other divers. Maybe on a future...

I just recently took the course (Nov 3-4). It makes for a long weekend. On Saturday, you are pretty much there from 8 am to 10 pm with hour-long breaks for lunch and dinner. The history about the area is fascinating, although the buoyancy section is questionable. Whether being able to swim...

Mike, The web page is really neat! FYI-The female mystery diver is my friend, Penny. And that photo of Tony would have made a lot more sense if that darned digital camera just had a faster shutter speed!!!;) I like your humor about the merlot with lunch, just make sure they haven't...

Mike, Mike, Mike:nono: Even Bill Gates doesn't have enough money to entice me to be a dancing girl. And even drinking the 75 beers on tap couldn't begin to make me think he did. So we'll just have to hire someone for you. Tabatha

Iguana Don, You had disappeared when I was saying my goodbyes to everyone at the lake. Sorry I missed you! I don't recall seeing you wear the reptile Dee-rag, only the midnight bats. Are you saving it for just the right occasion? Tabatha

Thank you both, Herman and Tom. I guess it's fairly safe to say that there aren't too many divers there in mid-November? I'm headed to Raleigh on business and thought I might work a dive in, but it sounds like without a drysuit, I'd be p-r-e-t-t-y cold!

Now I know how Mark Twain probably felt with people misquoting him. What I said was, "Mike, yeah, you gotta get me in bed earlier." Or was it "sooner"??? But it was get not put. And, of course, context is everything.:)

;-0 I'm gonna be out of town! That's Thanksgiving weekend.

Deadeye, I think I'm gonna lift one from Wal*Mart tonight when no one's looking.;) BLT, The water ranged from 72 to 74 degrees. Brrrr!

Does anyone have any info on Fantasy Lake Scuba Park in Rolesville, NC?

Camp? There weren't any whirlpools in those campgrounds! And I have yet to find one that matches my hiking boots and swimsuit. But I'm all for a cookout and a little guitar playing by Tony. I think next year we should check out the Oasis one night for dinner. Everybody, I had a wonderful...

large_diver, Overall the 50/50 was very nicely constructed. It had good seams and was easy to don with the diagonal front zippers. Since it has a crushed neoprene bottom, though, it was heavy. And since my gear already weighs more than I do, that's a problem. I also had a difficult time...

Knowledgeable Scubaboard Divers I need your help! Over the last four days I've been scouring the web for information on shell-type dry suits. I can't find any spec info. Even comparison tests by dive magazines just give tester's opinions after a single dive. I would like to find the...

Vettster, We sure enjoyed your company at Athens! I hope you are able to make it to Terrell. How was that bayou? CavernQT
