It was great to see everyone again! Thanks for all the help with my first drysuit dive. Five minutes BT, Temp 60 degrees in the pool.

Also, thanks to MissD for the cup of ice water down my shirt afterwards! All I have to say is paybacks are HELL! (You are so lucky I didnt want to "share" my beer with you!)

Thanks to every one for another great M&G. Especially Carolyn & Mark for coming over early to prepare for the party you were indispensible and thanks to Donni for sorting out my home theater system ( even though I did feel like a complete idiot when you made it look so easy). Thanks Miss D for the organising another good one.

MissD, your smiling shot in the group picture turned out GREAT! However, there was a lot of water on the lense and the other smiling mugs didn't come through... sorry!

Thanks for the pics S

I had a great day yesterday. The trip, hanging out with everyone, the party, all of it was absolutely awesome :thumbs-up We truly have a great group of people in this area. I still can't get over the parade the manatees put on for us - very nice of them :cool2:

Thanks David and Colleen for the party and Carolyn for helping out. Very well done :wave: Turned out great, even though we started it hours ahead of time

Sorry us south easterners missed out on the party... we were on-off-on-off leading up to Friday when Kim and Brian made it all the way to Naples before getting advised to turn back around...

The hardcore few salvaged a few tanks up w/ Little Deeper in Riviera Beach...

Tim, head to the Blue Heron Bridge any high tide lately and the manatee will likely refuse to let you be.....two for one pricing, man!! Jim apparently saw 4-5 on one dive this Saturday (nope, I saw none because I was preoccupied with my nap....).
