I'm with you, Bob Any sitting apparatus the encourages your butt to be lower than your knees should be banned by the Florida Beach and Diving Society members. (FBDS)

I would think camp and lawn chairs to be more qualified for the SRD philosophy than beach chairs. With a beach chair, the appropriate method of disembarcation is Roll Out and Wobble Upright (ROWU). Whereas the camp/lawn chair method is the true Stand Right Up (SRU) philosophy, which is the sister philosphy to SRD.

Only that you and your beach buddy should utilize the same model of chair so that if you happen to have a chair failure, you can climb into your buddies as a back-up.

And one other bit of necessary equipment was the powered megaphone so you can catcall at the beach hotties (just like Adam and Jimmie on The Man Show). Or yell orders to the passing beer man.

which is "Don't SIT with Squats!" I can tell we have a bunch of squats coming down for this trip.

Oh, and we do need to inform our group that if you see a line running up from the surf attached to a small frame with a bell on it...that's just Pete and me after we decided to get a change of venue and moved our chairs underwater so we can look up and watch the other swimmers.

If the bell rings, that means we ran out of beer and someone needs to bring us another cold one. One ring means a Coors Light for Pete (or what ever he drinks). Two is a Shiner or Guiness for Mike. And a sustained ringing means "Forget the beer, bring nachos"

I can tell that this is going to be a lot of fun. I think this scuba board is and will make a difference to scuba divers everywhere.

On a serious note, what do I need for a reel? I don't think I will ever get into serious wreck diving, with that in mind what would you suggest???? anyone!!

Charlie,

Features a reel needs are: a handle, a sprocket which turns easily, a method of locking the reel so it does not turn, a method of securing the reel and a method of cliping the line off quickly. None of the clips should be suicide clips. A suicide clip is a clip that will passively clip to a line (meaning without your assistance). A reel is a very simple device.

Dee,
How funny! You and I are in complete agreement on this one! I wonder how many drinks it will take before our "Beach Buddies" become trapped in their beach chairs and have to be helped to their feet? Dee, you and I on the other hand, will be resting comfortably :relaxing: waiting in rapt anticipation for the arrival of the "toe" truck to rescue our fallen :scream: comrades. :tree: Bob

Beast has already packed a "toe line" which I'm sure will be needed to get one half of the Aquaeous Duo from one beach chair to another. ut:

[Walter]

I think it's more likely to say "MOM."
