Hey, thanks for all the responses. Good to see so many people on this board and some fellow Marines aboard, too.
Short bio:
Grew up in Melbourne, FL, surfing, canoeing and later sailing and boating the Indian Rriver Lagoon. Started diving in the early 70's in the springs in north central FL as a young teen. Enlisted in the Corps in '77, got to dive the SoPac and then got out in '81 and went to the Reserves in '82. Started beach diving and keeping records off what I found where. I have an extensive list of beach dive sites from Sebastian Inlet to Palm Beach. Married in '85, first kid later that year. Divorced in '89 and moved to the Keys. Lived aboard in Boot Key Harbor, off and on, for two years. Desert Shield/Storm vet, '90/91. Returned to Melbourne, in the spring of '91, to be closer to my daughter, who started diving in '97, at age 12. Remarried in '94, attained DM and divorced again that same year. Returned to the Keys, then Coz, divemastering and driving a cab. Returned to Melbourne in '97 and got custody of my daughter. Retired from the Reserves in '98. Managed a couple successful construction businesses, until '02. Moved to Greenville, SC, in '00, to get married to a gal I met in an AOL chatroom, believe it or not. We're considering a move to SW Florida in the future. She's an only child and her mom is 76, so we're here to take care of her for a while. Second daughter born in '01. Managed a construction business here, too, until I realized that's too cut throat a business for a laid back guy like me, so now I drive a truck all over the US of A. Carry my dive gear with me, because I never know where I might end up.
Fair winds and following seas, y'all............
