Aww! That's where Chris and I met!It would be fun to dive Valhalla again; this time in drysuits I think.
I've got to check some details but it would be great to join you!
Great, b/c I was hoping Chris could be the lead as we are booking through Oak Hill Scuba
Let me know if ya'll can make it.
Great, now we're gonna have to put up with those two playing underwater smoochie face

It's gotta be fun telling people that you met while diving a Nuclear Missile Silo. You sure don't see that everyday 
Some DIMWIT's have been talking and would like to go dive the Valhalla Missile Silo. It's just outside Abilene and we've got a reservation in the works. We will probably need at least 12 divers to make the trip a go.
Itinerary goes like this:
Sat. Oct. 11, drive to Missile Silo outside Abilene (4 hours from Austin, 3 from Dallas). Setup camp, check out silo, and DIVE! Eat, Drink, Sleep, and return on Sunday.
Hopefully some other Swampers from around the State will grace us with their presence
I've attached a schematic to give you an idea.
Who's interested?
Not interested. Ready to commit!
Please PM cost and details.
Thanks,
John

Last time I was there:
I was at 105 ft. Swimmin' around. Mindin' my own business. I felt this SWOOSH ! ! ! ! past my right ear and as I swung my head to the right, I caught a glimpse of fast plummeting weight belt :shocked2:
Wow! That was close! Some yahoo jumped in above without using proper giant stride technique. Weight belt came loose and started a direct depth-charge fall straight for my head! Boy was I lucky! I think it was about 20 lbs. of lead.
I think Timeliner made friends with a rattlesnake that day. Frank likes snakes. :cool2:
