Just bad timing - Saturday morning we'd have had lots to talk about
... like you weren't enough of a "presence" at this one ... with the 20' Diver Dave

DiveTheGalapagos:I had a great time meeting everyone and seeing everything at BTS. I especially thank Dive NY for taking me in. You guys are great!
I had a great time meeting everyone and seeing everything at BTS. I especially thank Dive NY for taking me in. You guys are great! And Pete...you should have stayed a few days in the city.
In Ecuador, we really just don't have a selection of gear, so it was amazing to be able to check out a number of things I had researched online...BCDs, masks, fins, hoods, pocket snorkels...everything. WHOO HOO! It helps a LOT in terms of what to buy both for myself and the boat. I bought one of the amazing Watershed dry duffle bags. The thing is as light as air and yet, I broke two nails trying to open the seal. Came in handy for stuffing my two 50 pound bags this morning, most of which was BTS/NYC shopping spree for those of us who live as deprived of choice as we do.
So did anyone else see the new 'sneaker' fins at Omersub? They make sense, but honestly, the now-discontinued Ice are the first piece of scuba gear I've ever wanted merely for the aesthetic.
And at the price of their fins, it's definitely either/or.
And maybe it always existed on BPWs, but I was thrilled by the shoulder strap trim weight packs on a new Zeagle BC.
All that and it was so cool to meet folks who have been a tremendous support, people I've learned from or laughed with and now, new buddies. Wonderful event and staying over in my old hometown is always great.
