Wish I could. It is a nice facility. Did my ice cert there. Make sure you check out the classroom at Tom's place. Lots of history on the wall.

Jen... You have been busy diving! Seems every time I turn around I see you posting about a diving event that you are going to. So awesome! Sounds like you are having fun. Can't wait to catch up at M&G!

Dive safe!

Jim~I have been wanting to see his shop and dive there for a few years. I am glad I finally scheduled it and planning to go there. Maybe you will be able to make it to one of our events...I hope all is well with you!

Mike~ Yes... I have been busy diving. I actually had to to turn a weekend down because I would have been diving 6 weekends in a row. I enjoy diving as much as most divers, but I also enjoy other activities too. I too am looking forward to seeing everyone at the MnG and hearing all about the rebreather class.

Jen also dove Sat and Sun at France Park; she's a diving machine! She camped on Sat, and I know it was colder than a well diggers tush; and they made a night dive Sat, then the T-Hunt and it wouldn't surprise me if she did an earlier dive as well. The air was in low 50's and water was 65ish; many that made one dive did so sans hood; most that did a 2nd wore a hood at least on 2nd and many on both.

One of the joys of diving and being an instructor/dive leader was the joy on one of the young Crew members faces when she was explaining about seeing a paddlefish on her ascent. It was a look of pure joy and excitement. For a moment anyway, all was right with her world.

We did two dives at Philips quarry. The viz was about 25' and the water was low 60s above the thermocline (about 25')
I loved that they had a HEATED changing room!
