Hey Bram, if I ever find you facedown in a wetsuit, I'll make sure to get you changed into something more appealing...

Bob to answer your question I dont have to make adjustments for diving New England area. I dive for fun always and make the best of each dive happy just to find a cool shard, pipes, marbles, or a really nice old bottles. I have been very lucky to have found some great bottles and even luckier to find others who enjoy it as much as I do. I have a similar dive story but mine was on land with all my dive gear on in the dense forrest in about 3 foot of snow except I was going to die of exhaustion.

Hey Wayne,
I'm sure that Bram is reassured now that that you would fix him up (in the worst case scenario) and is ready for some black water in a thunder storm.
I'm sure that you must have a few crazy stories to relate Wayne? I, for one, would love to hear them . . .

Hey Kevin,
I know what you mean about exhaustion, That's how I was on that first trip to Lucky Lake in the muck. I also try to be happy with whatever I find (but it is fun to get something really cool). Plus, I totally realte to having great dive buddies. I love hanging out with those guys. I can't wait to get back out there with them.

Ha! Wayne, you are a funny dude. cant believe you dug up that picture. Glad you have my back, so I won't be laid out dead in a rubber suit :)

Hope to see you at the show 4/11 if you can make it. I'm getting my dive gear cleaned up and ready to go. heading out to the woods tomorrow though, it is land dump peak season!

Hey Bram,
I guess that wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. At least it would show you doing something that you really enjoyed.

Thanks guys. You are too kind. This story got really nice feedback here on the forum. I really appreciate it. I intend to post a few pics of my dive with Lynn when I dig them up. I am working on more stories. Better yet, when it finally warms up, I'll work on more adventures!

I did it. I found the pics on disc.
This first picture is from the one trip out there where things went normally. I am posting this to show that beautiful water color. It really looks like the ocean. I did not not modify or adjust the color at all. (Actually - this doesn't show as well as I planned because the color is very similar to the background color. Oh well.)

Here I am up near the parking area. I was preparing to portage the tiny row boat that Lynn and I dove off of on my second trip (related in the story above).
