Okay, you guys and gals will want to hear the official trip report from Frank . . . . . just 'cause he's the story teller. But in the mean time, understand this . . . .

Timeliner, TexDiveGuy and I went out to CSSP. Mostly cause it was close and central to our home locations. No other good reason. We did two dives. On our first dive, we swam around and toured some of the sites within "finning" distance of our entry. Nothing new to report here. Y'all know the lay-out of CSSP. We did hit the cabin cruiser ship. Timeliner liked that 'cause he hadn't seen it in a while. We hit the 60 ft. silos. Y'all understand that. On Saturday those "60 ft" silos were at 54 ft. You are warned.

On the second dive, yours truly was in charge of dive planning and underwater navigation. I did a very poor job. We swam around a lot on compass headings and kept missing our targets. We all burned a lot of good air for no good reason. I aborted my dive early because of buoyancy problems with my suit. Timliner and TexDiveGuy continued for another good 20 minutes.

In the end, they had a lot of fun and saw a lot fish. I was rather embarrassed.

See you guys next time.

They tell me that the first stage of addiction is denial, but I'm not addicted. I don't have a problem. There are plenty of people who lead healthy, productive lives while scuba diving. I can do it. It doesn't have control over me. It's no big deal. I only twitch because of caffeine, not because I have been out of the water for 2 weeks. I only have cold sweats because energy bills are too high to use the heater in my house, so I pile on the blankets. Just because I go from scuba shop to scuba shop, in the middle of the night, hoping someone will give me some air, that doesn't mean I have a problem.

I am only here because the judge is making me. Rehab is for quitters.
