Hi Paula...it's been a LONG time....

I think it's really cool that the porthole logo that I designed so many years ago is still in use by the Wrecking Crew.... Tractor Tom in Okeechobee, FL

If diving in the keys, Key Largo is the place to stop as far as many are concerned. Speaking for myself, I like Blue Water Divers, right next to the African Queen and the Holiday Inn Key Largo at mile marker 100. There are good rates at the hotels there, but it all depends on what you are...

Brent and Glen run a first class operation and are always my favorite dive op in Key Largo. They know the conditions, know where to go, and can quickly size up a diver for his ability and set up a first class dive. Put us on the reef during the ITK's dives, right over a large school of silver...

Looks like we have a tropical storm to deal with next weekend. I'm watching it on Tropical Weather Information and the forecast so far is OK, but if she speeds up, or swings west rather than north, we may have an issue. Tractor Tom in Okeechobee

I was diving Key Largo yesterday and the water temp was 85 degrees. By the middle of October, the water will still be around 80 or 82. I dived on Saturday in a three mil shorty and Sunday in a three mill full suit. Both were really more than I needed. GTXL1200 was with me, and he made all...

Hiya kids! Well, I just got home to Okeechobee after making a couple Keys dives with my 'old' dive buddy, GTXL1200 (Ted Bristol). I left our place in Okeechobee about 7am on Saturday morning and made the four hour drive to Key Largo in light traffic and nice weather. Ted and I met at...

Well, if you are willing to make the drive...I'm currently in contact with the HMS Minnow in Key Largo for some dives that same weekend. Granted, it's a LONG ways from Orlando area to Key Largo.

This little cold water get-together of yours sounds like a lot of fun. I have to admit that I miss those weekends at Gilboa, more for the folks than for the diving (Tractor Tom has SEEN Gilboa). I'll be suffering along with my next dive outing at Key Largo and the Spiegle Grove on the weekend...

I've been trying to get to Coz to do some diving for the last couple of years, but life and work seems to get in the way. Anyway, we're going on a short cruise (that I won) and will stop in Coz on the 27th of January. Any idea who Royal Caribbean uses for a dive operator in Coz? I've signed...

A 'christian' diving web site? In my experience, every diver is a 'christian' when 130 feet down in the cold northern water and short on air....:) Tractor Tom in Okeechobee He who dives cold water NO LONGER... Charter member of the Great Lakes Wrecking Crew

...a couple years ago. Me, GTXL1200 and Cldwdiver were up in TC for the weekend and did all the dives that Dave knew about in the area. Ask Ted about the varied life forms we saw on those dives! The pipes is a LONG dive if you go clear to the crib at the end, and you will see five things...

He told me that he was going to 'stock up' on rubber bands when he got home. If you talk to old Ted, get him to tell you about me calling him a 'b***h' out by the motel pool! That's a good story.... :D :D :D :D :D

Not living in Saginaw any more...but I have a nice 20 acre farm just south of Frankenmuth that I might be selling soon.... There are a couple members down nearer to Flint. Cldwdiver and GTXL1200 come to mind. Diver Brian is from outside of Midland, also not too far away. Nearest dive...

I heard all about it...he only does it around YOU! His favorite line to me was "GO AWAY!" but after living in the same motel room with me for five nights and diving with me for four days, anyone would say that.....:D :D :D

Hi kids! Wanted to let all you cold water divers know that (GTXL1200) Ted and I had a good week in Islamorada this past week. Made 10 dives in four days in the warm (80 degree) water of the Keys. No more 'old one dive' for Ted. He was ready and willing to make every dive, and was using...

We spent the week diving with Ocean Quest and had a GREAT time. I've always been treated very well by Pat and her folks and will really miss her if she manages to sell her operation there in Islamorada. As for protocol, the current was difficult but not impossible, but we would have stayed...

I just got back from a four day, 10 dive trip with Ocean Quest. Don't know when it was "sold" as Pat is still running it out of her new location a 1/2 mile south of the old one. She is currently thinking about selling the operation, but has not sold it as of yesterday (Thursday, 11 May) at...

Hiya Kids... Just got back from a four day, 10 dive trip to the upper keys. Made three dives on the Eagle, two on Wednesday morning and one on Thursday afternoon. In each case, the water was FLAT, no real breeze to speak of, but there was a current just RIPPING through the area. Was...
