I hate to be a joy kill but both christine and I are both DMs so that isnt a advantage. Beyond that having visitors this summer would be good as it would be good to see familar faces.
If anything we both might need some sponsors this summer, but really wont know until we are given our locations for this summer. Im making some tentaive plans for the summer but not going to move forward on any of the plans until i know for sure.

Tooth, I think what Capn Jack was trying to say is there are some of us who would be ready and willing tag along sherpas....Now that you have been elevated, you need to fund a tank sherpa (aka DM) to come along and tend to you and your kit.

CONGRATS TO YOU BOTH!!! What an amazing opportunity each of you have. I am so glad and proud of both of you for taking the initiative to follow up on this! The rest of us will have to live vicariously!

"Scapa Flow lies in the beautiful and remote Orkney Islands just across from the most northerly point of mainland Scotland. It is famous for the wrecks of the German High Seas Fleet that were scuttled here at the end of World War I. There are seven wrecks from the fleet, plus a number of other smaller wrecks that sank under different circumstances. Together these definitely put Scapa in the top ten dive sites of the world. The sheer size of the German wrecks makes for awesome diving. The biggest of the fleet are the three battleships: the Kronprinz Wilhelm, the Markgraf and the Konig, all 177 metres long and weighing 26,000 tons. Because most of the weight of the battleships is on the deck, these have turned over whilst sinking, leaving the hull exposed and most of the deck buried. On these and all the rest of the fleet, huge guns protrude from the wreckage."
Water temperature: 4°C (39°F) in April to 14°C (57°F) in September
Suit: drysuit is highly recommended
Visibility: 10 - 30 metres (30 - 100 feet)
Type of diving: Mostly wreck dives

I have been diving in different parts of Puerto Rico before, and I have traveled around the island. You will see some pretty amazing diving there.
Have fun.
