Hey Y'all. I had a fantastic NAUI course in 1976, and dove occasionally at resorts. I dove the shallow sculpture garden at Isla Mujueres last summer, and got the bug again when I took a refresher course to do it.
Plus, the SCUBA Gods want me to dive. I was driving to work and saw a tank and harness on the street on trash day. It was an old steel 72 Nemrod/Seamless tank, made about when I was getting my cert, and I saved its poor self from death by scrap. I am getting it a hydro and visual - and maybe a tumble, although it looks clean, as I just got Nitrox certified I want to use it and get it O2 okey-doke. Part of that is sentimental, part of that is I do not look to do much deep diving, and I think most of what my old bones will be doing can usually be done in 71 cf of air.
I have been lurking and learning from y'all, and enjoying the chatter. I will be the old guy with the new gear and old tank. : )
