    Thanks to Dive World I, Austin

    Just had to say that the guys (Dennis, Mike and Chaim) at Dive World in Austin were great about arranging for our check out dive last week. They were extremely accomodating and were extremely flexible given a SNAFU that our LDS made on our referral paperwork. These guys were just great, and...

    Christmas is here...

    and in making out the requisite Christmas list, dive gear is ranked near the top. Just wondering what I should put the money towards first (ie: BC, reg, wetsuit, etc) Wifey and I are primarily going to be warm water divers (Fl & Tropics). She fails to see the excitement in diving in colder...
