So,

I went diving to the Ruby E on Sayurday. Divinman was there and a few other Scuba Board members. A new species of Sea creatre was found. Its about 6 feet long, 200 lbs, and likes to float on top of the water. It is reported to have some crazy hair around it's head and is pretty docile. It gets it's name from the massive vomit it blows from it's mouth.

Okay, well the new sea creature is me! After the first dive to the beautiful Ruby E and I got back on the boat. I started feeling really sick which is wierd because I have never gotten sea sick. I was more or less kicked off the boat as to not throw up on it. They tossed me out a volleyball looking thing attached to a rope. I floated around for a good 10 or 15 minutes and then it came. About 7-8 convulsive vomits came out of my mouth... It was gross since I was swimming in my own vommit.

I felt better and got back on the boat. I decided to sit the next one out. As everyone else was making their second dive, I jumped back into the water and went for round 2. Another 7 times later I was done.

So, I was pretty dissapointed I only got one dive in, was feeling like crap, and was heckled enough to last my the next month, but atleast I got one dive in!

Nice.
 
There's no shame in getting seasick. We were all just amazed at the incredible AMOUNT of liquid, and how FAR it shot out. :11: That was actually pretty cool. And, I want to personally apologize if we made you feel bad. Hope to dive with you again soon shaxs.

P.S. At least there were no chicks there. :05:

Haha yeah. My mom says I am the most violent vommiter she has ever seen. Anyways, the heckling was fine and quite funny (especially the one how I ruined the 40 feet viz hahahah)
 
At least you get points for not hurling *ON* the boat. (-;

This doesn't even begin to do the sight justice. IT WAS AN INSANE AMOUNT OF LIQUID! We're talking "The Exorcist" here. He also failed to mention that it was mostly BANANA AND BAGLE.....yummmy!!:32:

:: snicker :: been there, done that, hung on to the boat's line while floating in the water, then lost my stomach's contents (again).

So, thats what we seen at our dive in Palos Verdes, Saturday! We thought it was a new kind of yellowish-tan algae growth coming in.

Hope you feel better!
