Hey I called the gear 1st. I know the wet suit won't fix "I am to short." I know lets sell it for the kids.

This is some good fun but I am ready for this trip.

You both are very funny!

Count me in too. NObody ever said diving was a cheap sport. My philosphy is that "it's only money, we'll make more!"

I've been looking for dive buddies for this trip for awhile. My local dive club won't go because the water is too cold and the currents are too strong - they're just spoiled with our warm, tropical water.
2008 will be an expensive year - I'll be going to Fiji in May and now Galapagos in June. What a year!!!!
