Well, I went back to the Flower Garden's with Bruce from TPWD. Our goal was to hopefully get some footage of the Hammerhead spawn. The ride out was not too bad, with 2 - 4 foot seas. Saturday morning had nice seas as well and we did 2 dives on the western bank. No sharks, but we did spot a...

Hope you have a great day of smooth sailing Robert.

When we left Austin for Freeport, the forecast called for 3 - 5 sea all weekend. When the Fling left the dock at 9:00 PM, the told us the ride out might get a bit rough. We ended up in 5 foot seas with 8 foot swells. About half the boat got sick on the way out. Saturday was some choppy water...

Hope you have a wonderfull day. CA does not have the swamp water you're used to, but perhaps a dip in the Pacific will remind you of Lake Travis temps.

Hey Swampers. The next class of Warriors In Transition has started and it looks like it will be a really good group. The class is 10 soldiers who are all amputees. I'm planning to help out with a couple of the pool sessions, in addition to the check out dives. Anyway, If anyone has some...

Greetings fellow Swampers. I returned from a 4 day trip to DEMA in Orlando and wanted to let you know how it went. The DEMA show floor was much smaller than it has been in recent years. My guess is that it was about 1/3rd the size of past years. Many of the larger brands had much smaller...

Hi All. Sorry for the brief absence, but things have been a little crazy around our house. Right before Christmas, my Dad was diagnosed with a brain tumor. At 86 he chose not to fight it. Hell, who can blame him. We focused all of our attention on getting him and my Mom into a good facility...

Hey guys. Sorry I've been a bit quite on the board lately. A string of occurrences have kept me away. I'm sure it will be a story worth telling, but I have to see how it all turns out first. Anyway, I miss you guys and hope to be back online more often, sooner than later. Here is wishing...

No, it's not mine! We're not going anywhere. Scuba Houston has decided to call it quits after 25 years in business. Everything is going to be sold. I've not been by there, but have heard that the selection was not much. Anyway, there might be some bargins for you Houston divers. Check out...

I got an email last night that a cousin died on the way home from the Saints game Monday night. To make a sad story short, he left the road, over corrected and hit a pole. He was not wearing a seat belt. :shakehead: Toxicology results are pending. He leaves behind a wife and two small children...

The wife and I will be leaving for Las Vegas in the morning. The DEMA show runs Wednesday - Saturday. Normally, I'm a seminar junkie when I go, but this year, I'm planning to spend more time on the trade show floor. So, let me know if there is anything in particular that you would like me to be...
