I'll remember this when I bury you all in the shallow grave I'm preparing.

Unless, of course, I go on a hot winning streak. Which I WILL do at some point.
So, when's the next game?
Incidentally, I noticed several of the Texas quarries close in the winter! What's up with that? Just because they can't have an ice-diving course, they roll over during the best vis of the year (i.e. when sane people are at home). Do the ScubUNO-compatible quarries up there close for the winter, too? (And if they do, when do they reopen?)

lost, even with a compass
The quarries don't close...the divers quit diving since most aren't dry suits divers.
Ah, there is that, I suppose. I decided to do my part to help combat obesity in the American public -- i.e. I decided a drysuit was worth a bit of indentured servitude to The Great All-Powerful Ramen. Of course, it may have backfired, as you burn a lot fewer calories when you're not borderline hypothermic anymore.crpntr133:

No dry suit = no dive 
Depends on the quarry, I think. Some of them are still open for ice divers or others that like it cold.
I'll stick to my once a month pool dives.
(Had one earlier in Feb. There was a ScubUNO game, but *gasp* I didn't play 'cause I was trying out my underwater housing for the dig. cam.)

Wait a minute! You had a perfectly legitimate excuse to get away with cheating at ScubUNO, and you didn't take it? What are your opponents going to think of you now?eckybay:

Looks like fun, but why is everyone lying on the ground?
:mooner:

Actually, by lying on the bottom, they keep their gauges from dangling down.Blackwood:

Lol . . it's 'cause we're all PADI - we were taught to kneel on the ground
(Okay, sorry 'bout the PADI bashing. Don't hate me now. Actually I think only one person there was PADI.)
I tried to go in between hovering above the bottom and resting on it. But after the first ten minutes, most of us said F-it, and just rested on the bottom. The games in the quarries we don't *rest* as much just because the playing surface is usually a platform or car top or something that isn't as big as the pool bottom, so you play, float around a bit, drop back down, play, float off a bit, etc.... Actually the instructor that was in on a hand during the last pool dive is thinking about using it as a exercise to work on buoyancy (gotta stay off the bottom) and communicating underwater 'cause if you got enough players *some one* is going to get confuse on who's turn it is, what different cards do, etc.
