my apologies to all here that wanted to come but didn't due to time constraints or lack of notice. as you'll see in my intro post in that section, "those responsible for marketing have been sacked. those responsible for sacking those responsible for marketing have also been sacked".
we are in the initial processes of planning one for a few months from now to clean north of the pier in LBTS... mid-late october has been proposed and is under consideration. i'll be back on here with details as they get fleshed out, but in the meantime we've now got this wonderful shot of a great stewardess of the sport to keep us all warm and fuzzy. well, that and a few frosty adult beverages oughta do the trick.
we're also in the final phases of planning for a World Record dive... one of my co-owners, Capt Tim, is going to try to break his old record of 13 hrs underwater (which was done in a pool), by staying 24 hrs underwater on the reef that Marvel and our other participants just cleaned south of the LBTS pier. we'd love to have anyone come out that would like to. looking into setting up texas hold-em, checkers, chess, a mock "living room" in the sand, etc with all proceeds from the event going to the USMC's Toys for Tots program.
and, lest i forget, congratulations Marvel on your induction into NDA
pity they didn't get the pic of you bringing out the "ottoman on a sausage" on your prior trip. it's a good thing you weren't farther out... i'd have been using it as a BC to snorkel back to terra firma.
