I'm working all weekend, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. To top it off, my gear is being serviced, so I can't even dive on Monday. :(

Steve,

I'd love to meet you and your gf. Just come to The Scuba Connection's tent area and then tell your girlfriend to look for the most stunningly handsome person there. She won't miss me. :lol:

or you can just look for the balding guy in his mid 40's who looks like Bruce Willis, but not as good looking.

or you can just look for the balding guy in his mid 40's who looks like this....

Scott and I made two dives on Monday. I didn't see anyone else, but I know some of you were there. When I was gearing up for dive 1, I grabbed my neckseal to put on the drysuit and the seal was all gooey. I don't know what happened. Maybe it came in contact with my heater, or maybe some chemical got on it, or maybe it was just it's time. I trimmed off the damaged portion with shears and the seal seemed ok, so we went diving. Although there was a little leakage, dive #1 was 61 minutes. My grey t-shirt only showed a small amount of water came in the suit. Dive #2 was totally dry, but the seal is in need of replacement for sure.

Scott was on his first "post surgery" dive after having his shoulder done. I helped him gear up in the water, and carried all his stuff for him. He was fine.

Dive #1: Platform, midwater nav to the crane, around the island, nav. to the helicopter, road, bus, other platform, north wall, around to the comet, and up. 61 minutes.

Dive#2: Midwater swim to the bus, nav. 60 degrees to the hellcat, midwater swim to the entrypoint wall, and to the comet, where we shot bags and ended it with a relaxing hang. 36 minutes.

Viz. on both dives was in the 40'-50' range. The bottom temp was 48 degrees or so, depending on which computer I checked.
