Cool toys

How many of you have a chance at seeing one of these on a dive? Ummmm, I mean in a land locked lake.

So Gary, are you saying that not all of the lakes up there have subs doing tests??? Sheese! Its a nice place to run trials without those pesky whales skewing the results!

Hehehehe, I had to read that one twice to realize it was Skewing.

What a cool DPV.

The have the Navy's new Stealth Destroyer up here as well. It's a baby of the one featured in Popular Mechanics. What a cool piece of machinery.

Say HI to the other half.

I have seen the buoys there.

That is my favorite wall diving lake. Something about hanging at 200' in the dark, knowing that the bottom is at 1200' feet below you, is just too cool.

And you never know when a sub might cruise by.
