Details? What's the name? Boy or girl? Weight and length? How long did labor last? Are mom and baby both doing well?

21W HID with a 10 Ah Lipo and charger, brand new. Geez if anyone had ever told me that I'd spend $900 on a "diving flashlight" a year ago I'd have asked them to pass over whatever they were smokin!

Spat, well the price Mattley quoted is nearly $500 below the retail price listed on Salvo Supply, so I am guessing Tom is asking where he got the great deal from

I wouldn't mind knowing myself :P

It was a "new/used" form somebody on TDS.

Yep I scored on TDS from a guy who bought the light two weeks ago, never used it and is giving up diving for a while.

The birthing pains (from your $$ separating from your bank account) will soon be a distant memory. My light is hands down my favorite piece of gear and I've never regretted buying it. Congratulations!!

Little update:
I decided to join Metalman, his buddy Abe and Elisaboo for a dive at Keystone today to deflower my new light. All I can say is wow! It's one thing to see someone else's bright light on a dive but when you're the one wielding it it's truly a revalation! I couldn't beleive all the colors that were suddenly revealed. It was simply awesome.
![:80sdance: :80sdance:](./images/smilies/80sdance.gif)
I decided to opt out of dive two mainly because I only have two tanks and I need at least one for my rescue class early tomorrow. So I left still going over the dive in my head and shaking my head in disbelief. As I was getting off the ferry in Mukilteo I decided to hang a left and see if anyone I knew was diving. Wouldn't you know it NWbrewer, Sheehanmcculla, and Airsix were just gearing up for a dive. Sheehan had a tank for me and they forced me to dive with them.
Viz was so so but Sheehan and I got to see a juvi woolfeel out in the open swiming around at about 20 fsw
![:metal: :metal:](./images/smilies/metal.gif)
That was a first for me and a great way to cap off the day!
Ben it was nice to meet you, Sheehan thanks for the tank hope to dive with you guys real soon again

Matt, it was great meeting you and Sheehan too! I love the Puget Sound dive culture. Where else can you run into friends at every beach access, and get talked into impromptu dives.
