The Dive Team Captain just called and asked if I could make it over to Jefferson tomorrow for movie shoot . Seems an actor is going to swim the Cypress River; and they'll make a nice donation to the Team to have safety divers in the water. Been digging out alternate gear, so I'll have a dry box Friday morning when I head to Ouachita..... you commin' Kory? 
Ask Rhonda if she'll send some brownies with you.......

It's been a long time my friend. When did you come over to the dark side of diving? My last recovery was lookin for a stolen car, wound up having an underwater fight with a beach umbrella and a BBQ pit. Car was on the other side of the lake. Not one of my better days.....Take care

I dove to recover a sunken dock, had to dive down in a couple inches of vis, locate it and tie a cable onto it, then go back down again for a couple other items in 0 vis due to the lifting of the doc string it all up, second dive was brail work.
My most exciting recovery dive...
I lost my mask during a surface swim after a dive at Lake Travis (I know, keep your mask on your face). I didn't realize it was gone until I got back to shore.
So, I spent the second dive searching for the mask in 15-20 feet of water. I didn't have a backup mask, so I had to use a pair of swim goggles. Took me half an hour, but I found it!
I learned a lot that day, here's the most important bit: when scuba diving with swim goggles, don't put them on until after you descend, otherwise they will suck your eyeballs out! :crazyeye:
