I don't need help getting in and out of the water. I am in my late 60's, though, so I don't any longer think I'm bulletproof. Go ahead on, though; I'll be the guy sitting back with a cold one when the waves are crashing over the ironshore by the pool.
What I had said was that based on what I had seen, specifically the three days the port was closed last December, I didn't see conditions that would deter me from shore diving. That doesn't mean I think I am bulletproof or that I would shore dive in a tropical storm. If waves are crashing and spraying over the dock, I'll be having a cold one beside you.
