Well - now I'm famous

We did a rec-level Cancer Fundraising New Years Dive yesterday.

We raised about $5k for the Canadian Cancer Society. As we were leaving the water, a news photographer lent me and my dive buddy an underwater camera to take some photos.

Please bear in mind that this also qualifies as proof that I don't hang around my apartment in an Isotherm wetsuit.

Here I am! This photo - all 8 inches of it - is on today's local newspaper, front page, above the fold.

(and for the record, yes, that is an o-ring on my bolt snap for the longhose. I haven't gotten around to replacing it with some cave line yet.)

Cool - and a great cause too!

Excellent dude... bravo on raising money for a great cause.

That's the amount the gang are aiming for when we do our "scuba olympics" in April -- though we're raising money for the Heart & Stroke Foundation. We were sooooo close last year.

Per Andy Warhole, 15 mins of fame each.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

Nice job of community service to earn it, as well!
