We'll be sending someone by your house to teach you the secret handshake and give you your decoder ring soon. Start thinking about where you want the tattoo, too- you won't like where they're gonna put it if you can't make up your mind.

Yes, Congrats - and we're expecting full reports, blow by blow on the training, stories of you messing with Josh, etc. etc. etc. etc. - just part of the price you have to pay to be a meg diver. :fish:

You get the brand on your one year anniversary. Big ceremony, bonfire, dancing girls. We usually do burgers and dogs, potato salad, like that. Then, the branding. The tattoo is like a, uh.........template, or target or something.

Selling the lp80's. Keeping the 95's. I know you dont want the 80's BJ. Howard will have the lp95's and you are more than welcome to them anytime you want. Just like now.

Thank you!

Its true......after hours and hours of class room, pool, and open water Paul Hangartner (Bigsky) and I finished our training last night. We trained with Ron Akeson- Adventures Down Under and TDI was the certifying agency.

Class went great (Thank you Ron). The Meg is an amazing machine. It is going to take awhile until I am anywhere near as comfortable as I was on OC. It really is like starting all over again from the beginning. Humbling

I am excited to be done so I can start putting some hours on the unit.

Now lets dive!
