. Clear warm water, incredible vis., getting to actually use dive gear. Man
..visions of grandeur; Banked Nitrox, Banked Trimix, rent-a-rama, rebreathers- its like Christmas underwater. loosebits:Well, fixxervi6 and I are both intro certified... we are heading out to FL with Tucker's Dive Shop in Nov for some diving. We plan on taking the next two classes in March. That ought to be fun
Tuckers has a cavern/intro class starting up real soon if you'd like to come out to FL and see some real cool stuff.. cavern is probably the best class out there for improving your diving technique and intro is just plain fun. The cool thing is you can sign up for cavern and do the classroom/pool work and if you like it once you are out in FL, you can go ahead and do intro as its just more diving and running around a bunch of trees with your eyes closed and looking like a moron while people video tape you, right Rick? hehe
Yep, Nov 19th - 26th... cannot wait... I am going to have a great Nov, a week in Cortez then a week in FL less than 2 weeks later.Crazyduck:DUDE!
I am not allowed to drool on the keyboard at work without the plastic cover on.
So please go easy on talking about Florida- drool
I need to get my issues for my sidemount tanks worked out. If you dont mind an old man diving at Travis add me to the mix. I need some time in cool water.
Has Bruce posted information on Florida yet-?
Man, where is that plastic cover?

Debraw:
I work in composites and adhesives, so I think to myself, "I can do this!" Typical engineer's folly. I replaced the wrist seals and both are pretty sloppy looking but I think they are sound for use. I was planning on checking this week. For the neck seal, I used a new local supplied adhesive (my other stuff all came from the UK). The new stuff bonds almost instantly. Well, they weren't kidding. It bonded almost instantly. I was having trouble getting the suit flat and the seal without folds when I knocked over a can of paint for the house. Paint goes everywhere and I go into freak out and then clean it off mode. When I get back to the suit I have multiple folds now permanently bonded. I can probably seal them off with strips of rubber, but it will never be right. The boots are the one place I splurged so I've been afraid to try to bond them although I bet from my experiences I can do a professional job there (engineers folly again). I'm reluctantly looking at sending the whole thing out for a new neck seal and the boots. I can also look at new valves then. These are operational but they must have been designed during the time of the dinosaurs. I'll make the call this week.
