Marvel, I just had to thank you publicly for your hospitality this past week. Those 4 dives were, without a doubt, the longest safety stops I have ever done. :teeth:

The night dives were great, especially last night with the 2 octos, the eel, 2 nice sized bugs, squid, ray (skate?), and crabs (I still swear I saw that one crab lighting up a cigarette afterward) and especially the turtle who hung with us for a nice visit. I like all of your neighbors (well, except for that one :hiya:)The dives today were also very special in that they allowed Julie to log some nice long bottom time--she'll never want to go back to Monterey again!

Bombero, it was great meeting you as well as all of the others whom I briefly met but didn't get a chance to dive with (yet). I look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Thanks again! What more can I say than diving with you 'S Wonderful!

Thanks, WW, but MM beat you to it and had already invited me--unfortunately, I can't get back for it (this time!), but maybe next time.

I want pictures....(goes off stomping his feet throwing a temper-tantrum) :lmao:

Dan, glad you all are having a great time. Looking forward to making those LONG safety stop dives myself in a couple of weeks. I am truly sorry that we will not get the opportunity to meet you then, but looking forward to meeting you at DEMA :birthday: shhhhhhhh

OH and congrats Marvel on your newly aquired cert. :birthday:

She earned it, but I must say that trying to get her to complete the Knowledge Reviews was a real challenge--almost as hard as trying to organize divers for a dive trip (worse than herding cats). :birthday:

And sorry, ZD, but to my knowledge, aside from a pic for the c-card (for which she refused to smile), no photographic evidence exists. :dltears:

Good luck...he never poses for shots...but maybe just maybe since you are preparing such a nice nest for him and all...he'll make an exception! :lmao:

Ahhhh, but that is why we sign up for events where ZD will be in attendance. We get to see the whole package. At least ZD you told TF the package was packed. No, photo sharing is the rule. And yes ZD, I was checking out the backyard today for the appropriate branches and nesting material. And since I didn't get any special requests, I believe I will be able to give you a comfortable, fragrant and colorful nest for your trip further south. Although, as well as you fly I'm not sure why you want to be car bound for the trip. Just keeping tabs on all that gear?
