I will order the books shortly, however, I will not pay for shipping. Shipping costs will be $69.99. Special DIR packaging has driven the costs up in recent months. :)

The Tarpon where between 3 and 6 feet long...there were plenty more in the area. :)

Just hold mine for me, we're headed that way to see the in-laws at X-mas.

Cool pic man, how much does she dive without you? How much do you do for her? I know you said she's independent, I know another guy that says the same thing...

His wife is so visibly uncomfortable in the water it's frightening to many of us.

Not pointing fingers, making assumptions/accusations. Just saying make sure you're honestly evaluating her skillset before you get in over your heads.
 
Hey isn't that Thumbalina?

Hey Jep, does she know you have a thing for me? LOL

Have fun you two. Diving is great sharing it with someone special is a whole different experience. :)

Now when are you two comin' south to dive with us? I know of a bunch of "Deep South Divers" that are chompin' at the bit to meet other divers from the board. Hahaha R
 
WILL CALL pickups are charged an additional $20.00 on top of the 69.99, because I will sit you down and read the entire book to you while you sit indian style on my carpet in my living room. :)

Sandy is completely independant. Occasionally she will need help donning her gear because of a snagged hose or something, but so do I and so do most of us. She had no problems lugging her tanks around, we actually had a nice little thing going when it came time to load/unload the tanks into the car...I worked the dolly back and forth getting the tanks and she loaded them into the car.

As far as in the water goes, completely independant. While she was getting certified she asked me what I was looking for in a dive buddy and I told her my top 3 things...and she has exceeded them all. She told me during the middle of our trip that she purposely worked on those 3 things because she didnt want to burden me at all......I didnt know what to say. I think I burdened her more during our trip with my video housing/camera/lights etc....sometimes I wish I didnt take video underwater, but when I dive without it, I feel naked because my hands are free.

We don't know each other very long, but we have an amazing level of trust, right RAVENC... :) hehehe.....not only have we traveled together out of the country, but we have dived together about 60 times so far.....there is a level of trust you bestow on your buddy, as you all know....

To answer someone elses question, she has not dove with anyone else yet. I told her to it would be a good idea to dive with others as it adds to your experience, but the chance hasnt come up.

We are already talking about diving Belize in February..does the insanity ever end?
 
I knew it. There's always a catch.

If we come over as a group, you can do just one reading for all of us. That way we can split that outrageous Will Call fee.

Just curious...what are those three top things?

I do, "Enjoy it while you can." It's called the honeymoon period.:D
