Greater Tampa Bay Area CHAT/OFF-TOPIC thread, take XVIII

[Missdirected]

Hello all! I've missed the boards for a while. Season has really picked up and been super busy lately. Trying to get out to Venice on the 21st.

Is anyone still diving? Water conditions only list a couple of dips in over a month. (i mean the reports... not the people posting )

Take care.

It is freezing out there. We did the manatees this past weekend and had a big party afterward but no diving.

I dove..........................in the swimming pool! 60 degrees for 5 minutes in a LEAKY, rented drysuit.

Did they refund your money, by any chance? Also you still owe me my shiny nickel I tossed at you

I called their shop yesterday and Ira had just left. He is the one I need to talk to but I didnt get a chance to call again today. Ira didnt call me either, even though I left my name and number.

The dive shop is Dpeth Perception Dive Center. I have spoken with Ira and everything has been taken care of. He offered me a free rental for next time! I have just been too busy to post a follow-up with a post.



Another note:
There is a TV show on Thursday nights @ 10:00pm (tonight) on Discovery Channel. It is Treasure Quest. It is reality tv of treasure hunters in the straights of Great Britian. It is very interesting, the high tech imaging and robotics that it takes to make these dives!
