I didn't realize that first picture was a video clip. I saw it this time. How cool!

The pinnacle of diving in our area is truly the USS Oriskany. A lot of dive conversations include the question, "have you ever dove on the Oriskany?". If your answer is "no", most people do not seem to care about the 70 + dives you have done. I am truly glad to be able to say that my answer will now be "YES, I HAVE, TWO TIMES!". I would like to take this opportunity to thank Hetland for being my dive buddy, XRay for following through with my request to please set up a dive outing to the Oriskany, and Redtexan7 for completing the team. It is truly an amazing dive. To Mr. Xray, aren't you glad that I had the foreknowledge to bring my killing machine speargun to assist you with your harvest of a super nice grouper and a handsome stringer of black snapper?
You're welcome.

Denise,

We need to setup an Oriskany trip with Gary for my 100th dive. Have you ordered your dry suit yet? You might need it then... I'm sure January or so.

The diver in the second shot sure gives a nice perspective to the Whale Sharks Size! Nice photos Gary! I was down there for two dives on the 'O' that day but never got to see it.:depressed:
