I must confess that I, too, have been enjoying the discussions on
this list without sending a proper introduction.  I was certified
for open water in 1979, but didn't really start diving until ten years
later when my wife and I took the open water course together.  Since
then we have spent much time snorkeling and diving the springs in
Florida (at least 50 of them, at last count).  We have yet to go beyond
cavern diving--and probably never will--but I am very interested in the
technical diving that's being done and the people who are doing it.
I've been a "dry" caver for a couple decades now and enjoy talking to
some of the cave divers I've come to know.

To sum up: I can't afford trips to exotic islands, I'm a'gin the
stripping of shipwrecks by recreational divers, and Sheck Exley was
(and still is) my hero.
