PPM -

DAMN! I guess this means I have to give ya back the Canon dive camera, huh? Well, I could just hold it and keep it safe until you return!

Watch out for those Aussies - rumor has it they will trick you into doing a shore dive, break your leg and send you home with metal implants...

Australia??? Wow, those Witness Relocation folks are serious this time.

All the best Platty. Safe Journey.

No aquarium, no tank in a marine land, however spacious it may be, can begin to duplicate the conditions of the sea. And no dolphin who inhabits one of those aquariums or one of those marine lands can be considered normal.
