Depending on the weather and ocean conditions... I might consider a Barview or Newport dive if the water clears. If not, heading to the "Sound". if you guys ever have time on a weekend, let me know... Count me in too!! \:D/ Noted...... Who's bringing the Dutch Apple Pie!!!! :)

I have posted that I was coming up diving with my Zodiac dozens and dozens of times and can count on about one hand the number of times someon...
