    Live aboard caught fire. looking for contacts in Hurghada

    Sounds good. Better than turning around and going home. I never used to buy trip insurance. I do now for every big trip outside the US. Used once or twice and it paid off. My wife had to go to an ER room in Rio. Had to pay but insurance paid us back

    Live aboard caught fire. looking for contacts in Hurghada

    If you are expecting help from US Embassy don't. That's not their job. When I worked in Angola in the summer of 1975 they advised us to leave. But they didn't organize anything. And that was a shooting war. The company I worked for organized our own. its not like its a war. Its a fire. The...

    Houston oil company makes gifts to save West Texas swimming hole

    I saw that. I worked for them from 2003-2005 and was involved when they acquired their acreage out there from Exxon. I kind of had to guide my boss thru it as he had never been involved in acquisition accounting. Good company but I left for a smaller outfit(more my bag)

    Price still owns the building. The subsequent "owners" were merely lessors of the facility.

    A diver air lifted off the coast of Galveston, Texas by US Coast Guard on July 16, 2017

    A friend of mine got bent out there about 10 years ago. A few days after he got back we went to an Astros game and talked about it. After that he got a lot more conservative. Personally I have only been out there once. I prefer dives on oil platforms

    Deep, cold, altitude, wreck, night dive in the middle of the day in the middle of TX

    It does not have to be a shop. CHUM in Houston an independent club has run several trips there. However someone must be an insured divemaster. I went there in 2005. Would go back but the steps discourage me. Nevertheless you have to be in a group. Can organize your own. Its not a place open all...

    Demise of Houston Underwater Club

    Well aware of CHUM. I was one of the first members and still am a paid member. Go to most meetings. The reason HUC was dissolved is during the latter part of 2011, we made repeated pleas for new officers to step forward. No response. We told people the club would be shut down if someone didnt...
