Welcome to the board!

I am curious - did I by chance meet you recently on a Sunday in Keystone?

No it would have been a couple of weeks ago Joe, Steven, Babs and my Dad and I were there talking to a navy guy, I think he was riding a motorcycle and I think he said he had Atomic regs. Might have just been a coincidince.

Yeah we had steven with us (octosteve on the board). So that was you then. Look forward to seeing you at one of the dive spots . If I recall correctly one of your superiors (for lack of a better word) in the Navy is a board member also. Goes by Pesacolaracer. Really cool dude. He even let me hang out with him on his boat once.

i found out it wasn't him, but that would be cool if he was. I went to rosario yesterday and explored the rocks out in the bay. Didn't see anything but i did make good use of my compass :koolaid: and saw some kind of sand fish that my buddy spotted. Just fyi rosario beach is slightly boring. Compared to keystone its an Opera (unless you like opera's and then its just w.e is worse that that) but for beginners it was interesting.

Oh! the lowest temparature at rosario yesterday was 48 at a depth of 33 ft just another fyi. My suit stayed warm but my feet was colddddd and my hands was getting there!

Don't have much personal experience with Bare but dry is definitely the way to go!
