I am signing up tonight to get my SCUBA certification.
I know Dave W is certified. Dave, maybe one day we can do some diving for "bugs". I know a local wreck that is said to be covered with them.

Good luck Skipper! I think that it would be very cool to know how to dive, Beale.

That's cool! Good luck.
Are you now going to "hunt" fish under water with harpoon? :)

probably... I am anxious to dive on some local wrecks. But the real reason for this is my annual trip to Aruba and my boat. An occasional dive to inspect the bottom (especially after minor mishaps-like the other day when someone got their wire line tangled around the props).

Well, I finished all my pool work (closed water dives). It was mostly a cake walk except for a few minor tasks I eventually mastered.
4 dives in Aruba and I am a certified trained diver! WOOT!

Enjoy Aruba, and don't pick up any strange chicks in the bars.

Well as I recall there was a young American lady who was picked up in a bar by some locals and she has been missing every since. I'd hate to see that happen to you, I mean who would run all the contest for us here on this board?:D:rolleyes:
