Good Gawd!! Why would anyone intentionally get in water 47 degrees???? I am freezing just thinking about it! For me "too cold" is anything that requires gloves, a hood, or any suit thicker than a 3 mm. But I do have to admit I am a bit of a wuss!! :D

My wetsuit has already been christened several times in Mexico! Much better than yucky old lake diving but I didn't have the cash lying around to hop a plane for the weekend so Athens will have to do!!

AaaaahhhhhH it ain't even worth making the effort anymore. I give up my one man crusade, I will not think less of uninformed. But, will of the informed.

How people can spend their money ignorantly and unwisely will never seize to amaze me.

Have fun. I now consider this subject completely closed from my end, so don't cry or bitch at me because I really don't give a @!&%. If you bitch, your wrong and you know it.

Thank God for freedom of expression, and long live the first admendment.

You guys make me feel like this :diver: :) :birthday: and it hurts.

Steve,
I hate lake diving. I hate quarry diving. I basically hate anythinig that does not have 100 ft vis and a cute little cabana boy waiting at my hotel (on the beach of course, not my room unless he looks like Brad Pitt) with an icy cold adult beverage.
I know you have said Athens bites, I have heard it from other people as well but it is not always just about the diving. Sometimes it is about the friendships you forge along the way. I am new to the site, and to diving and cherish the chance to meet like minded people. Yes, I know there is crappy vis, yes I know there is no depth (which frankly I might prefer when I can't see where I am), but I don't care! I want to check it out, meet some other people, and just have a good time. I don't see anything wrong with that. I would probably be just as happy camping with people from SD in the mountains as I would in Athens. Of course I prefer Fiji but the trip was already booked! Now everyone relax, have a flinkie and have fun!!! Isn't that what this place is supposed to be about?

Theresa -

Would definitely carpool; however, I'm not an Athens supporter, so won't make this trip.

Hope you have a fab time - want to see pics of the famous tail!
