Kidding? I'm taking you very seriously. I'm not saying that this is my main dive boat, but I do use it for fossil and artifact river diving from time to time. It's called The POS, which stands for, well, the first 2 letters stand for "piece of". Maximum divers: 2 if you put it on the bank first. Sometimes it's easier to just drag it behind you when diving.-Clay

and I always thought POS was "Point of Sale"!...lol

as long as it gets you where you want to go I'd say it works for me...

Lisa....I love both of them! The first reminds me of that Aahhhh feeling after a dive, putting off getting out of the water. And the range of blues in the second are great, especially with the rays.

!!! I forgot to write about the boat! The name of the boat we dive off of is Mo'olio and is the Hawaiian word for Seahorse. It is a twin engine jet boat that can accomidate up to 16 divers plus crew. Before it began it's life as a dive boat it was a whale/dolphin watch boat, the seating is more laid out for that.

I like the fact that there are two ladders in the back. Makes exit much quicker.
If the boat is full I find it a bit too tight. But thank goodness that doesn't happen everyday.

I can play this, this was my boat until a short time ago.

Two years on that baby, from 20 foot seas to glass, we did it all.

My new boat?

OK Mike...a few more details please

(2 years straight?)

Aha, i thought that might get a comment or two.

Yep, just shy of two years. I worked on the Tahiti boat as the photo pro. I was part of the team that brought it over from Fiji in Aug/Sept of 2002 and worked on it until May of this year, so not quite two years. That trip from Fiji sucked...10-20 foot seas almost head on for 3 days, then 10 foot seas for the next 6. All in all 12 days to get to Tahiti, such fun.

But Tahiti was awesome, loads of great encounters with big fish, sharks, rays, dolphins etc.

Before that it was 3 years on the Palau Aggressor.
Soooo, lots of boat time for me.

Now with the Yap thing you will see that the new boat is attached to land! Enough boats for me for a while. Going land based to set up my own photo/video shop.
No more big seas for this boy.

Mike...the new boat looks like you'll need an eye patch, peg leg and resident shoulder sitting parrot!

Good luck in your new venture.

Hi Dee!!!

This is a skiff from one of the Aggressor boats (major brain f*rt...I think it's the Palau Aggressor skiff).
