  Dearest Thom-

  I neither believe nor disbelieve your 7 knot currents. I guess I'd say =
I'd have to see it to believe it.

  At any rate I the picture I had in my mind of being towed through the =
water at 7 knots was outlined in my post, nothing more.

  And to be pissed off over such a blatantly silly post as mine points =
out some problems at your end, not mine, Sir. Perhaps an adjustment of =
your medication would be in order.

  I suppose there are various ways to glamorize quarry and river diving, =
but I think that they are a different type of diving than ocean diving, =
presenting different, though lessor, challenges. But if that's all =
you've got then that's all you've got, I suppose.

  But I do admit to having a hard time feeling Manly Appreciation for =
those who drive their auto up to the lip of the water (fresh water, =
usually) don their equipment at their leasure on a dainty tarp so as to =
not dirty their feet. And then step into the water to knee depth, =
halting to adjust their gear and contemplate life before proceeding into =
the depths.

  No, a dive just does not seem to be a dive unless you have spent =
hundreds of dollars on a boat trip, spent hours listening to the =
deafening roar of diesel engines, and either froze or sweated (or both =
at the same time) in your bunk wondering if you are going to get barfed =
on again. Ah, yes, and the oders eminating from the head.=20

  And it's just not the same if you don't wreck your back and smash your =
elbows/fingers/knees/shins getting on/off the pitching, rolling boat, =
have people stomp on and drop heavy shit on your feet and suffer the =
ravages of salt water and diesel fumes on your hair, eyes, skin and dive =
equipment.

  I'm not a horse higher than any of my other ocean diving brethren. I =
just can't resist tweaking you quarry and river types. Go out and do a =
few ocean dives and you may find out why you don't get much sympathy =
from me (and apparently a few others) on this list. Keep it light, Thom, =
we are just having a little fun.
