This is tough. I'm gonna miss a bunch.
First, it would have to be the legends from the golden age of SB that sucked me in and kept me her for so long: Oring, Spectre, Chickdiver, Walter, Uncle Pug, Scubaroo, etc, etc, etc. There are pieces of you in every post I put up here. You guys changed my life.
My 2003 & 2005 PNW Posse: Bwerb, BoomX5, UnclePug, Shane, OE2X and the gang. I've dived with you all, and I miss you all so. I want to get back ASAP.
The rest of the Pee-En-Dubs: TSLynne, NWGreatone, etc. I want to see and photograph the following: Wolf Eel, GPO. Everything else is negotiable. Arrange that for me, would you please?
The NorCal Krew - you know who you are (special mention to my bud CALI-TCB-MAN) I will be in Monterey in January. Promise.
I miss you, Wrinkles.
The LowCals - LJS was great, you all rule. I want to do that again soon.
I've met Catherine, but we've never dived. That stinx. Get out here again, soon. You are going to dive with us.
I would love to dive with Karl Dietz. Dude hooked me up with my first DSLR housing, and I've never seen the world the same. You pics inspire, and I would love to say thanks to you personally.
The FLL / WPB / HWD / Florida Crew. Jaye and I had a great 4 days out there a couple of years ago. I miss you guys too. Marvel, Jenny, Simon, Andy - do you people never come to CA??
Warren!!!! Dude - we're in the water soon. I will be good to see you again after so many years.
Ever since my honeymoon 8-some years ago, I've wanted to return to and dive Alaska. I will dive there one day. Snowbear, you are at the very top of my list. I would love nothing more than to roll back into AK and have you give me the guided tour.
Geeze, I could go on and on. The oceans are a big place, and there are so many people I still need to dive with.
