Hey Marty,

When you dive, doesn't the folding ruler rust up?

See you in the Spring

Very funny J.G ! I can't wait until Halcyon starts selling fancy underwater teflon measuring tape... -Andy

...diving 32 degree water...

This is from when I did my MOD1. (First place we tried had rock solid thick ice, so this was better)

(As recuired for a training we dived in the part where there was no ice blocking the return to the surface, nor was there any more ice to come drifting into the bay)

Looks rather nippy ...

... I'd drop the 'r' and call my location Noway!

Ok, I promise: no more complaing about shivering in my 7mm + 3mm
hooded vest in 75F water here in Kona (although my teeth were
chattering by the time I got back on the boat after two 80 minute
dives the other night).

Yep - another confirmed Warm Water Wuss.

(that's me dodging a manta ray ...)

We got out again today, much nicer weather. No wind at all !!

We didn't see any Manta Rays

We did see lampreys, one ling cod, oh yeah and a duck that swallod a fishing lure (by the looks of it, several months ago)

But the skys were blue and it was a chance to get the machine wet again.

And the ice is almost gone !

I'm very jealous

Your nuts Ken,

I think I am starting to get Blairs mind thinking about rebreathers. After filling my tanks with helium again and finding out the price went up again. I am going to enjoy diving the wall in Toby this weekend with almost $100.00 in back gas.

Glad to see your putting the machine to use. I want to come check it out soon. I am starting to consider one very seriously.
