Bryan:

This thread is turning into a dangerous direction - do you want to wear Toeki-style Speedos in the future? I don't, and I think it would be highly inappropriate, yet they make our crazy little captain unique as he is

See you in a few days on Curacao!

Well, I am not quite sure what Toki's speedo looked like, but imagining you all in gold Speedo's, pouring or not, is not such a dangerous thought on this end, :mooner: hehehe.

I will most definitely have to see this in person myself next time I come down for a visit! From a female perspective ... err ... You might be on to a new type of diving advertising schtick. In this type of economy, every tiny piece of advertising helps.

Have fun guys,

This is Sunshine, smiling before getting to work.... So the advantages of diving with OEW;
Slow leading dive masters
No one has mentioned how much Tuki talks underwater.. or some of the small creatures he finds,
Great visibility
Stupendous coral formations at Watamula - literally around the corner of the cliff from the dive shop
Excellent house reef; Alice in Wonderland
The opportunity to stop and say "hello" to David, Sunshine and muttleys
And an exhibit of swim apparel of the buff OEW employees
Before our other dive op friends object; yes Mark at the Dive Bus, you'd look good in a speedo as well..... Maybe there could be a fashion show at next year's Dive Fest

Thanks for the vision of the day!

It is a good thing I did not have a Coke in hand when I read this or you would all owe me a new keyboard. My sides are hurting so bad from laughing so hard.

Does this mean I have to bring my Speedo in December? If I do, I guess I will have the dive boat to myself and an open beach.

What a vision - Andreas and I in green Speedos - an olive on a toothpick and a watermelon.

Well, I started this mess, amazing how far afield things can go.

We are all set and ready to get there Thursday.

A honk for Sunshine on the way in, and one of her highly touted pizzas for Friday evening.

A big thank you to Sunshine, Bryan and all the others that gave me advice in putting this last minute massive change of plans together.

But now, as a guy, it brings me back to do I want to dive with OEW? It seems that I will be running square into a Speedo fest. Maybe the ladies will like it. I have my concerns. My wearing a Speedo would get me run off the island, so no worries there.

I look forward to meeting you all and thanks again for the help.

Well, Speedos are OK if you are buff enough for them. I, on the other hand, am easily twice Tuki's size and weight and...well...

I wear a Speedo under my wetsuit, and when Tuki took us to his beach for surface interval I wore it on the beach instead of pulling on my usual trunks. My wonderful wife took a few photos of me there on the beach in my Speedo and it was not a good sight.

Lets all remember who we are and who has to look at us.

Diving Roatan this year instead of Curacao but hope to be back next year.

I'll have to ask the girls about ordering some OEW speedos along with the tee shirts! Coming soon.... It's a little late for me to have David get some printed before his return on Wednesday. Maybe some Sol Food ones - before and after a week of pizzas sizing.
Speedos or not, it's always a fun time.
