Hammerhead FG Trip Feb 16-17

[texdiveguy]

Yeah Texas Swamp divers really do draw attention. In Mexico the divers wanted to know more about my diving in Texas than talk about what we were doing diving Mexico. Really makes you think about what we like to DIVE :toilet

It will probably be about 65 degree water temp. Seas probably in the 3- 5 foot range. Hammerhead sighting? Almost a sure thing.

How do you know that's not the Cayman Aggressor? :burnout:

WOW I can't begin to tell you how long its been.

Thanks to Debraw I made contact with Dave living in Dallas for the first time since I knew him in Phoenix Arizona about 6 years ago. This Scubaboard stuff is really rewarding. Just amazing.

I almost got certified with Capt. Dave in about 1987, when he was working at Scuba West in Lincoln Square Shopping Center here in Arlington. I can't tell you how many times I have kicked myself for not going ahead and getting certified then...

Could be, Could be. I know how much you loved that boat... Do their down lines hang off the back of the boat like that?

Live and learn. Capt. Dave is just one of those amazing people you want to know.
