Howdy all, Captain Ron here. Im one of those crazy deep divers who just cant seem to get enough gas dissolved in me. Narcosis is my friend, not, thats why I like helium in the mix. Hope to meet each and every one of you out there in the deep blue. Dive Safe. Interested in learning about rebreathers?
greetings from Captain Ron in Portland, OR

Welcome Ron! You can bet I will be reading many of your posts as I hope to be doing tri-mix diving when I "grow up" (and get the income for the class). I hate being narced, LOL.
Enjoy our zoo! Never mind the howling going on tonight. It's a rare event.

What would Patton do...? 
Yeah I know: I've been branded a non-group person - doesn't play well with others. I am so upset.
Let me know if you want to have some fun, without the drama - I'm good for that.

, what a great response, thanks to all who were in the greeting crew. This is a great idea, i do most of my dive trips solo and would love to hook up with one of your trips. I have stuck up a pic and an avatar, so ya know who to blame when things go wrong. I have a couple trips planned this year, Cayman Is in August, and LaPaz Mx in sep. Then the usual stuff locally and up in canada. Lately all my diving has been salvage and boat work, booorrrriinnnggg, but it does help pay the bills. Thanks again for the warm welcome, I will be keeping an eye out (the glass one) for interesting topics of discussion. Any one with rebreather questions, look me up, happy to share info and experiences. Cap Ron

it can be, but the rewards of seeing a wreck that no one else can get too is worth the effort. its better now than when I used to dive twins, then to do a 300fsw dive I hit the water weighing 450 lbs. Now its only about 375, that includes my 235 body weight too. as they say, way mo betta!!
