Thanks Marlaine for getting the group together last Friday. Bill (MakoSince70) and I enjoyed it. He even did his first post on the board last night after meeting everybody over the weekend.
I'm so glad we were able to make it out there and meet you - blue32, Catch22, SeaOtter, SeaHunt, Nyle, and ScubaTexan21 and to dive with you all. The algae bloom has the vis down quite a bit but should improve before too long. Sure hope so...I was spoiled by the 30 ft vis of earlier in the year.
The Rescue Class went well on Sat and Sun as did the Advanced class. Bill worked with those students all day Sat & Sun so I dove with the couple that I brought over to meet you all. I'm sure glad they were there to let me tag along with them. We had fun diving, eating, diving, eating, diving, eating and watching the Advanced and Rescue students perfect their skills.
Congrats to BILL WALTON for completing his Rescue training!!!!!
WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Now....when can we dive together again Bill? I'm finished AOW and you're finished Rescue. I want to get in a few dives before you start your DM !!!
You and I both still owe MakoSince70 a CSSP wall night dive....hehehehe. I told him that we were cheering him on from the dock. Yes, I'm sure I heard "Cheers!!" several times, didn't you??....and I know that was the sound of clinking scuba "bottles"...and when he asked if we could see him and the other divers out there I hastily replied "sure, hon, we could see the lights Shiner-ing...errrrr, I mean shining!!!"
A good time was had by all....thanks again....everyone!
