Thanks Rick, I think the Beach Crabs are a great group-- and that is in a large part due to you-- your hard work, positive attitude and dedication really make it something very special. It has been a pleasure meeting and diving with you all and I wish you nothing but the best. -Tom

I have thought long and hard about the criticism heaped on me here and frankly I am surprised & hurt. I have done thousands of dives over the past 20 years and have never endangered anyone other than myself. I resent the statement that I am a liability-- I have not left a diver alone when...

Wow, I was joking when I said you guys "ditched me". As soon as we dropped down into the murk and I couldn't see anyone the decision not to surface was mine-- not the right one, but I do take responsibility for it. I forget that tone is tough to decipher in posts, but let me assure you I was...

That was the worst beach dive exit of my short, illustrious career! I avoided getting tossed like Jeff, Sam and Bryan going in, but coming out I over shot the cove and was fooled by a bunch of teenagers waving lights at me. I thought, "that's great, they're really guiding me in!" As I got...

I'm taking the day off tomorrow and thinking about a morning dive... Anyone up for a 8am-ish Leo or Nic dive????? -Tom

Jeff, I'll take an XL-- don't think I can make the picnic for p/u... -Tom

Some guy found my bag-- with a lobster in it!-- and he enjoyed them both...

I have to apologize for NOT being a good dive buddy to Rick, et al. After getting tumbled on my way out I was a little dubious about conditions. So when we dropped down into 2' viz with heavy surge I thought it would be a minute of two before we called it and struggled through the waves back...

Great pics Rex, thanks for sharing! Looks like you guys had some fun out there. Hopefully I'll be able to make one soon...:D -Tom

I'm going too! I told the kids to sleep in & make me breakfast when I get back from diving... That's how I roll. Looking forsard to seeing you Sunday! -Tom

I think John's got it right-- $2 at Nicolas vs. $10 at Leo!... I might actually show up for one of these and start sharpening my skills for next lobster season! Hey Rick, I'll come & pickup my Beach Crabs duster if you're going to be there!... -Tom

Nice photos! I dove there 15 years ago & aside from a shaky reg, had a great time. It's so beautiful & the viz is incredible. Thanks for posting them! -Tom

Rick, I don't care what they say about you-- you're one of the good ones! Thanks & I'll try to get the family to go too & bring a few items for the picnic.... -Tom

Nice. Another of my pre-lobster season preparations falling into place!....:)

When can I get mine?! I was freezing yesterday at Deer Creek in the 85 degree sunshine... Oh, I guess I wasn't freezing, so much as sweating like a pig. I still want to get it at some point... Are you going to the picnic on Saturday? -Tom

"we fixed his hose problem..."(John) Um, what exactly were you teaching the new divers John?... Beautiful day, thanks Erika & Nick for letting me tag along. Calm, nice entry, I think viz was closer to 12' as we got further out. Trying out my new steel that I bought from Tevis. Pretty...

Lucky #13! -Tom

:confused:Hey! What happened to the website?!....:confused:

Sorry I missed you Jamie and-- quite possibly Rick too!-- I got to Deercreek at 7:15 and it was nasty, but I really wanted to get a dive in so I headed to the next dive site south; 40000 PCH-- parking lot full of surfers; primarily because of the surf. I headed down to Leo, the south bay of Leo...

OK, I'm going, but I'm diving early-- 8am! I have to be back for a softball game so I'm going to show up before 8 and be in the water by 8am, out before 9 and home by 9:30am! Diving on a schedule. All are welcome to come early & double up on the dives!... -Tom
