xtracheese4me,

Sorry to hear that.................you being in WI

In 2000 I went from Miami to Milwaukee for 10 months of work. I went from sandels and BBQing daily Lobster catch to wearing a dead animal on my head. It was the first time I saw dive shops selling chain saws.

Try and get ahold of Thomas Vinyard email thomasvman@hotmail.com I certfified him, Chad and Mark while there. We dove racine Quarry, Pearl Lake, and Wahazee lake. If you can talk them into coming down on a road trips, we'll do some diving. I am taking the boat to the mil pond in the morning to dive the springs along that run. When the weather clears I'll hit PCB jetties.

I woke up, took a shower and went out to my car, my hair felt funny, I reached up and it was frozen. that is when I decided that the best thing to come out of Milwaukee was I-65 South

Hi Kris and Anna....

Any time... we're out there virtually all the time - if the seas forecast is for 2' or less, and is confirmed by the Navy WAM model, we'll almost certainly be on the boat, either fishing or diving, depending on who wants to do what

For Hydros I'd go to the place in Ft. Walton that does them - its a hydro shop, NOT a dive shop. I don't recall the name offhand, but they'd be my first choice.

All a dive shop is going to do is send them out to one of those outfits anyway, and mark it up 200% or more.

Thanks, we will get togetther for diving.

Today we are taking the boat along Merritts Mill Pond to dive the srings on that run. I have not had a chance to check them out yet.

I have never taken tanks to a dive shop for hydro, try and steer clear of dive shops. I have a couple VIP certificatons from the 80's and I am a VIP instructor. If you need any tanks VIP'd

The last time that I had tanks ydro'd, I was paying $8 - $12 ea. I have 5 out of hydro and 2 more due at the end of the month. I always use fire safety type places. I have one in Panama City that charges $14. I called on in the book in Ft Walton, they wanted $20. If you could remember the name, T will give them a call.

What type of work do you do down there?

headed out after the holiday for a short trip...

$14 is a good deal though - I don't know if they can beat that

I'm semi-retired; do some consulting work and political advocacy, and other than that, raise my kid full-time....

We're headed out here to go fishing in a bit... enjoy the weekend!
