Robert,
Went to Rawlings today, and didn't see you. No worries, I understand about family committments. My wife and I have a three month old little girl, and every day diving for me means a day of babysitting, which in my case is tomorrow. The instructor I was going to meet from Lynnhaven had to leave due to a drysuit issue, but luckily I my old instructor who certified my ten years ago, Billy Grimsley, was there with a group of his students and he hooked me up with two buddies, Jeremy and John. Nice guys, and it was good to get wet, though it got cold at the end.
The HP 119 felt good and it was nice to drop 5 pounds from my weight belt. Overall, I am feeling very comfortable in the water and can't wait to get out on a boat, whenever that is. I'm sure it will be soon.
Let me know if you are going to be at the shop (Lynnhaven) sometime this week, and maybe I'll be able to swing by and say hi. Definitely looking to meet up with a good group of local divers. Got to schedule that Nitrox class soon, I'm done with the books.
