Nothing Like Dive Gear Under the Tree

Santa doesn't always bring me dive toys, but this year I must have been good because I feel like I hit the goldmine!  I got a new Aqualung Legend Supreme regulator, a Dive Rite Nitek Duo computer and a second regulator is in the works (either an Apex or Scubapro).  I feel like I was fully outfitted with all new dive gear.  I am really excited about the regulator and I hope it breathes as nice as it looks.  Now I can't wait to go diving and try it out.  Too bad Santa didn't bring me a dive vacation to somewhere warm too.

Perhaps this is a sign that my health will remain well and I will be able to do a lot of diving in 2010!

Merry Christmas & Peace in the New Year

I wanted to wish all of those whom share this love of  wreck diving with me a Merry Christmas!  I know I am wishing for a few dive toys under my Christmas Tree this year.  We'll see what Santa brings!  I also wanted to wish everyone Peace and Happiness in the New Year.  

I have been working diligently on converting my old dive slides to digital and will be posting them throughout the winter.  The hardest part is trying to remember when they were taken and what wreck they were on. In reviewing these slides, it makes me sad to see those old divers that used to be a regular part of my diving adventures whom are no longer in my life.  I miss them and wish I could dive with them again.  They made me happy. If I could only figure out how to freeze time....Here are a few sample pictures:

Something Warm to get you through the Winter-Ultimate Getaway 2006

Now that we have the long winter ahead of us, I'd thought I'd post a slide show from a trip I took in the Florida on the Ultimate Getaway liveaboard. We dove the Oil Wreck (140') and the Baja California (120') in the Gulf of Mexico. The diving was awesome, full of marine life and we all enjoyed some great artifacts. I am not fond of liveaboards so it took some convincing to get me to go and luckily we were blessed with calm seas the entire trip.

So if your looking for something to do over the winter that is within the United States then, check out the Ultimate Getaway. It was fun!
