Alan are you taking your meds correctly?
or are you taking them at all? Alan are you confusing sports again, this is a scuba diving board for TSD.
To answer your question with more detail. I doubt it unless he lives somewhere around Kileen Texas.
I only know Mike from his DSAT deep diving tech class he is taking with a shop in Dallas and practicing tech skills at Windy Point. I actually ran into Mike Solo diving a couple months ago underwater while he was practicing his double tank valve isolation drill. And I believe he is an instructor for a dive shop North of me.
I probably have spelled his name wrong or gotton this whole story screwed up
I better get out of here and go diving. Clear my head.

Thanks to Brandon, Brian and Brian, Ian, Farrah, Mike and John and Donna it was good to see all of you. The highlight for me were the people who showed up and we had great conversations topside. What a great group of divers to spend time with. This was the best part of my weekend and really made my weekend.
4 dives later On another note, Richard increased his prices 50% from last year. Viz was probably the worst I have seen it in a long time. Richard had 4 less porta potties placed around the campgrounds than last year. water temp was in the 80's in the first layer down to 70 degrees at 90 feet. Diving was dismal due to the really bad visibility. There was not a defined thermocline I could find that would break from a couple feet viz to 5- 10 foot viz. In a lot of places it was just plain milky (all silty) even on the night dive Friday.
I will be looking for more cost effective places to dive this summer if the viz stays this bad. I just can't see spending that kind of money for really poor visibility. Thank God I have many options open to me in this great state of Texas.

I noticed he had increased his entry fees... 
that and gas were a few factors that weighed in me not coming down this weekend....not to mention the vis reports.
BUT you can not put a price tag on meeting with good friends and sharing time together....Shawn you hit it on the head!!!!!!

Getting kicked in the head by an OW student. Free
Meeting new friends and good conversation. Priceless

ian! I have to laugh! LOL!
Getting kicked in the head by an OW student!
Now that's funny! I don't care who you are! That's funny!
Well maybe if you are the DM, that's not funny. Go figure.

While at CSSP yesterday diving with John and Ryan I did a couple of solo dives.....I don't know about the rest of you guys but there is little that scares me in the waters while diving.....but one thing does raise the hairs on my hooded neck and that is the sound of DPV's in the distance and the hum of them closing in for the kill....and of course this is low vis water conditions! :0
