I don't know about you but his story spoke to me. It screamed in fact. Taking the hint from another poster it screamed that he should get a rebreather so his wife will be afraid to touch it

LOL, hadn't quite thought of it that way... a little slow on the uptake I guess.

I will say one thing, the experience has made me a much better insta-buddy. I don't take anything for granted now and make my new 'best' buddy acknowledge what I am telling him. It may not make a difference with some divers, but it has helped with most.

The life insurance policy was on the desk the other day... *over-the-shoulder* "Honey, I love you..."
