I would like to meet John and Ritchie too. It is a weird small world because I found out after I just moved that I lived 2-3 blocks away from Ritchie in Brick.
Yes, things like that remind us about how small it is. Depending on how long you lived there you could have been a few blocks from John too. When they became friends I know it mentioned they found out that they only live a couple miles away from one another.
Yeah, the internet tends to do that. It's great being able to communicate with people you'd probably never meet otherwise. It really does unite us divers. Unfortunately, the traveling to do diving together isn't as easy as turning on a computer.
all i want to do is dive all over the world. anything else is just well, grayed out

Richie is just a guy. yes a guy that has done a whole lot more than us in the dive world but trust me, he is just a good man trying his best to do what he wants to do in this world...having a hell of a lot more fun than i am at it, but still anything any of you want to know from anyone in the dive world is out there. just reach out and ask for it...will get a chance to "meet" john C next week and looking forward to it....anyone need a burning question answered? put it in a pm and i will ask for you.
