I think that's a High Hat (drum fish), not a "stripped cubba." But I'm not a warm water diver, I just play one online! :wacko:

And yes, thanks for sharing since I missed this trip!!!

Don't tell anyone you're hearing voices, they including some on this board already think we are nuts for diving with sharks.
This is from NC a few years ago.

You dive with doubles? How much of an air hog are you anyway? :wacko:

I can vouch for that, he does not breathe, he has gills. He was giving me a complex, I have since dove with normal people and my air consumption is just fine thank you very much.
Happy Diving

Okay, I just want to make sure we're real clear on one simple point here. I was on the July trip to NC and I wanted to go dancing every night, regardless of the early wake-up calls. So next time, let's make sure we get all of the dancers on the same trip, hey? Walter, are you with me here bud? These ladies want to dance... let's do some dancin'!

BTW Doris, every German girl I've dated knows how to country dance, they just don't realize it. I'm certain you know how to Waltz, right? Well, that's just another country dance darlin'... it ain't that difficult, trust me.

Neptuner... that is so true. It's really easy to go from a regular waltz to a C/W waltz.....

To all the DC. divers that, well made this first dive trip with SD. thanks again. GentDiver the grilling was great. Doris well Humm... Its was nice you had all the sun tan lotion ( take that all you other guys LOL ). Miss Goddess, looking forward to diving with you again, Cap. nothing like a get in get out diver.
As for the myth about dancing, their was one diver on the trip who did not need a Nappie poo, or go to bed early and that person told some other people about dancing ever night, well one person DID... Humm,
Miss Fairy, had so many bruise on her leg I would hate to see a week trip, but dive she did, great fun, thanks for the laughs.
Scub. Those are great pics. and look out for those Giant margaritas, they are a killer...LOL
As for the WENCH. DID ANY ONE FORGET ABOUT THE LITTLE DIVER MISS HAP THAT THE WENCH WAS JOHNY ON THE SPOT TO HANDEL... She even got the diver back in the water. Good looking out Kamala. also thanks for getting the nitrox course for me, good things come to those who look not for reward, I will be sure to dive with you all again soon.
The crew even gave up a reg for me or I would have been our a couple hunda, and missed the first dive. For my dive buddy and room mate Jeff, He was 2 feet away swimming up side down under one of those 8 foot sand sharks and people I am not kidding. Nice to have a dive buddy who even the sharks won't mess with....
DiveN. I'll be looking forward to finishing up the dive books with you.
And last but not least... I made it to my sisters and Monday started her house and at noon went back to the hotel and slept till 3. Even I need some sleep.
See you all again soon.....

Well, Neptuner, you can teach me in October if you sign up for the Morehead trip.

I was told that every night you played songs to the girls before they went to sleep. I am looking forward to that treat. :birthday:

Jay, you can rub lotion on my back any time. You were the best. Nice strong hands and great massage technique :birthday: BTW, I guess you didn't see the bruises on my arms. I was showing all my friends at work and after work yesterday. I just bruise easily. :dazzler:

Scott (gentdiver) the shark's tooth you so graciously gave me made a really great impression on everyone. Thanks for trading the little one for the big one. :twist: Next time, WreckGoddess is going to have to teach me how to find them.

:teeth: Next time, WreckGoddess is going to have to teach me how to find them.

it's easy, just look on the decks of the wrecks. think of it as a macro dive, just get in there close and keep your eyes peeled.

of course, when ya dive the Carib Sea, all ya gotta do is stick your hand down, grab a handfull of sand, and then let the sand sift out through your fingers, you'll prolly end up with several teeth per handfull.

on the 4 July 2004 trip when we went to the Carib Sea i think pretty much every diver came up with at least a half dozen teeth.
OK, lets make a deal. If you stop telling me how to dive, I'll stop going down to the bus station at 2am to slap d***s out of your mouth.
