Hello

Post by ArcticDiver »

My home is Interior Alaska.

I was certified Thanksgiving Weekend 1999 in the blowing snow of Valdez, AK while wearing a wetsuit. My first thought at the shore was: What in the devil am I doing here? This makes No Sense at all.

But after that and some trips I was hooked.

I envy you folks who only have to jump out your back door to get good diving. Most of my diving has to be Batch Diving on trips. But I do get a bit of local diving in the summer, which should be coming any week now.

I was down there last December testing some new gear and getting a quick look at the area. Gear testing went well; at least since it caused me to spend more money it must have, eh?

Had a good time and met some nice people. I'll be back.

Welcome to our "Nut and Fruit Bowl". :wav: We do not talk about spending money on dive gear. You spend "Scuba Units" ie: 1 scuba unit =$100. It sounds so much better to say I spent 20 SU's instead of $2000. When you come down next time let us now. Maybe some of us can hook up for a dive.

Now I believe it when Bob says: "The friendliest dive club..."

I like the "Scuba Units". That will come in handy. As a matter of fact I wonder if I can convert the check book to SUs? Sure would help in discussions with the SO.

I find it most helpful to convert Scuba Units to equivalent Spa Units, and let her spend whatever that amount will be. \:D/
I don't mind losing, but I do mind sucking!
