I'm sure it is bs as well... But... Bassman and myself were in the tavern by Titlow for some post dive nachos when I noticed a dried out, mounted on a piece of wood, 6 ft. long wolf eel with an Affifi hat on it's head and a cigarette in it's mouth! Sad waste of a wolf eel... :axe: :violent1: But I w...

Janna is awesome... She is funny, makes already interesting (to me at least!) material even more interesting, and just...

Speaking of T-Shirt buying, Do you think that it would be possible to put in an order for a couple of 3x Shirts?!? Of course we would expect to pay extra...

Thanks Bob! Just the kind of input I'm looking for.

Twin 119's?!?! :prayer: Wow! :naka:

Just curious, what brought the bill to 1200? I'm assuming that a little more than half of that was the tanks?

I look forward to hearing more from others...

Hey Brian,
I'm doing a three tanker with Teal Water Charters that day... :supz:

However, I am feeling a bit greedy, and will be using nitrox... so.... don't be surprised if you see me at the shop. :axe:

No promises, but I want to!
