Fast forward 6 months - It's now Jan 2004 - we've been diving in Hawaii and So Cal and are feeling much better about our diving. We plan a trip to Cozumel and I start making the phone calls, remember I had a plan. On our 4th dive in Cozumel the DM has everyone circle up on the bottom in a sandy area and does a quick safety check. When he get's to me I moptioned for my GF to come closer and reach into my BC. I've stashed an old clam shell with a HUGE CZ in it and a note that says 'Will You Marry Me'. IN smaller letters it says 'If yes turn card over'. ON the back is the message 'The Real Ring is on the boat'. This is the only time I have ever come back to the boat with more air than her. Best of all it's all on video and we played it at the wedding reception in Hawaii and then went to Fiji for the honeymoon.
