Hi all,

Will be diving tomorrow with Brandon and Brian. Did my pool dives today at Nautilus in Concord, Tony the owner was great, he helped guide me and I dove for 2 hours practicing.

I feel very confident and cannot wait for Brandon to baptize me into Monterey Drysuit diving...

I also paid for my first boat dive on March 14th Saturday, Escapade with Nautilus in Concord... This will be my first big boat dive, I've done the little inflatables but not the big ones...

Hope to see a lot of my diving friends, Sarah and Robin and Ron....

Mike

Well everyone,

I'm not a virgin anymore whoops, I mean I took the plunge into the ocean with my drysuit under the supervision of Brandon, Ron, and Robin...

Brandon took me on an extreme obstacle course in the shallows and he said I was dialed in just fine, 20 lbs of lead weight is all it took and I even think I can go back to 18 pounds like I was with wetsuit.

Then it was off to Ball Buster to really conquer my fears of the deep in this drysuit. I made it down to 101 feet after almost aborting the dive because my left ear wouldn't clear, thanks to Ron and Robin they waited and I cleared the problem at 35 feet.

Here is the only topside pics I have of me and the gang... Hopefully Ron and Robin will post the other pics they took of me

Thanks,

Mike
