Current plans are to re-enter the water again on Saturday, December 2nd, but a LOT depends on weather conditions and vis.

Mav, I was kidding.... again, the internet sarcasm is lost on you my friend

In all seriousness though, a bunch of us are looking forward to diving with you John. Let us know how the first few dives go and maybe you can join us for our weekly dive at Cove 2 or somewhere else on a weekend.

I'm looking forward to diving with you folks, too! Down at DEMA this past week a few times I felt like I was taking reservations at a restaurant with friends wanting to "book" dives with me!

I need to get back into the swing of things slowly, though.....but it won't be long!

Hmmm.... Since everyone seems to be getting in line, where do I sign up?!?

We could have a sign up sheet. "Dive With John!"

Make it a fundraiser! $\:D/$

Eager divers around the Northwest would be lining up!

How about lottery or raffle tickets? "Win a Dive With John!" I'd buy a few!!

Fundraiser for a new rebreather?!?

Let's get the creative juices going here! :rr:

Weather conditions and vis?!!?

What's up with that?!?

We are Puget Sound Divers, not Warm Water Wusses!

What do weather conditions and vis have to do with diving in the Puget Sound?!?

The Puget Sound motto could be "our vis sucks but we dive anyway!"

I think you're right - if not a shirt, at least a bumper sticker or something.

That motto rocks! I vote for the "slogan" on a shirt!
