Howdy from Alaska

Pablo1960 · 21st February 2006, 05:52

I've been diving since 1979, and OC trimix since 1999. I spent the last 3 years in the desert of southern Utah, and haven't been in the water for a while. I see a CCR in my future (4 or 5 years away) and thought this would be a good forum to join. I doubt I will post very much, but I plan to lurk and learn.

Welcome Pablo1960. Small world, big state.

I am the "Jake" that Mel is refering to. I am diving a classic KISS here in Alaska. PM me if you'd like.

Jake

Thanks, I'll get in touch with Jake.

BTW, have fun in Hawaii, and say 'HI' to Ron for me. I was one of his first tech students at GUDC. When everyone else started getting rebreathers, I got sidetracked and followed a woman to the desert of Utah....but I've recovered my senses and am feeling much better, thank you.
