Bearing the surname Packman has always been a mixed blessing. On the one hand people remember my name, but on the other hand, I have been fielding the jokes since sixth grade. Clearly I have a genetic advantage for gobbling chips (be they power pellets, potato, or poker), so I'm not sure that it was fair to allow me to participate in this event for the last couple years... But enough about my favorite topic (me!) and a little about the event:
I saw many of my local diving friends, met a bunch of cool people, exchanged barbs with my old friends on the mine staff, chatted with some cute diver girls, and won a trip to Bonaire - what a great way to spend a day. The diving was great, the post dive suds that a few of us snuck in (¡¡Don't tell Doug!!) were satiating, the barbeque was delicious, and (with the exception of NetDoc) the company was excellent. "j/k" NetDoc - Was great to meet you in person, and thanks to ScubaBoard for sponsoring this event!!!
Steve Dozier and the rest of the staff made it look easy, but I know they put a lot of hard work into making this event such a huge success - as they say on the islands, "nuff respect!" Also the attendees deserve credit for their good sportsmanship and good spirits - everyone I talked with had a blast.
Feel free to reply to this thread with your own reviews!
I leave you with the following limerick:
There once was a hunt at Bonne Terre,
Even NetDoc was there.
After finding some chips,
I bid on some trips,
And won a trip to Bonaire!
