    That sounds fair to me. I'll get a check in the mail to you tomorrow along with a note including my name and address and shoot you a PM.
    Diving is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it.

    I just sent you money via paypal. That was quicker and easier than mailing you a check. The shipping address on the paypal is correct but would you sign it to "Bob" rather than Robert Egbert.

    Thanks, I look forward to reading it.

    Wow, fast shipping. Ordered it from Peter in Washington state on Wednesday and recieved in Kentucky on Friday. That's fast! Thanks Peter. I'll get started reading it tomorrow and review it later.

    So I just "finished" this book. By finished I realized that you wrote a book about not diving the Doria. Not only did I suffer through a regurgitation of Doria history that we've already read and abided your description of modern technical training but then you spent the weekend drinkingon Block Island?

    At last count 6.99999999 billion people could write a book about not doing the Doria. Kudos for taking my money in the process.

    I want those eight hours of my life back.

    I'm not a sensitive type guy but I think that was a very insensitive post.


    I just finished the book, yea it took me a while. I don't have much free time to read. I thought it was a great book that deals as much about life as diving. I was very impressed with it and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone, especially my age (40's). It deals with taking risks, being rewarded, being disappointed, and growing up. That's things that we all deal with if we live long enough.

    I want two minutes of my life back after reading your rude and thoughtless post.

    Why would you read the whole book if you didnt like it in the beginning. The only person you have to blame for losing 8 hours is yourself. I personally just started it and its pretty good so far.
