@Marie13
We certainly appreciate your interest in our small local CenCal DivCon..

Some day perhaps you can obtain permission to leave your beloved snow bound Chicago and obtain a visa to visit my beloved sunny warm CenCal to attend the SLO S&R DivCon.

I suspect you will enjoy the program

Cheers from California -- where it all began

Sam

If it was local, I’d go. But since it’s not, nope.

 

[covediver]

looks like another great conference. I would especially be interested in your observations on the reef check presentation.

@covediver

I know of the presenter Dr Mc Millan and her almost obsessive work on Reef Check but I have never met her or had a conversation up close and personal . I am eagerly looking forward to her presentation and hopefully an opportunity to have a chat at one of the breaks or at noon.

SAM
'@Marie13 -- we will miss you !

I did my Reef Check certification last summer under Salena's tutelage. She recently completed her PhD in New Zealand. She's definitely into marine biology big time. You'll have a good time with her.

@Mark Guccione

Lots of water under the bridge -- so many good and great years has passed

Maybe some day you can hitch a ride with Karl and attend the SLO UW Divcon - I suspect he would like the company and you will enjoy the program

Difficult to comprehend that young Sam IV has been a Scrips trained hyperbaric doc for almost 20 years -- but whos counting the years ? I certainly am not !

Your old buddy
