Guba- I hope you have read the follow up emails to the original email, you referenced, that was sent out about the give and take on the new scuba group forming in Texas. We are a work in progress and in no way feel like we are a secret society, with handshakes and black t-shirts as was suggested by Brother Bear. The idea for diving with a club member was actually taken from the Texas Swamp Divers. Now that we are conversing back in forth in emails with everyone who cares to join the conversation you will read that the idea is to dive with any member. More than likely those dives would be taken with several members present and helpful hints would be given on making sure their gear is in shape, no leaks, tanks hydro'd, bcd's that fit, hoses routed correctly, etc. GUE, DIR were talked about, but I know I am not interested in that and will participate as a UW photographer, DM when asked to assist if anyone new comes in and just wants some more experience, cooking, and trying to keep things light. We really are a work in progress and have chosen as a group to not post anything on SB because we really are not ready to go public, and this posting in this thread with the backlash that has been shown is exactly why we wanted to remain quiet. Staying quiet was not a holier than though attitude, we simply just are not ready yet. I have a pool and I am opening it to the members this Saturday, who are wanting to dust off the gear, eat, talk about plans for the group and have an open, non-judgemental conversation. Our motto is training, conservation, and safety, nothing less, nothing more. It is open to everyone, really it is. We are looking for divers who are interested in diving, improving their skills, help with gear, questions, answers, good food. We are not a club who are interested in a club loaded with divers who are interested in planning blue water trips all the time and drinking parties. We are local divers with a common interest.
