Actually, my information was third hand, and definately incomplete.
Thankyou for giving me the correct information, and filling me in.

I fully agree.  My references to "nookie" were ment solely as humor.

Absolutely nothing, Peter.  You got me.  I am definately a wanna be, and I
fully admit that.  However, after hearing from you, and Lamar, I would
love to hook up with you guys, and dive with you and learn from you.  My
3rd hand information on your guys was that you came to Japan about once a
year or so, did a cave dive, and went home.  I am very glad that
information was wrong.  I look forward to talking more with you and Lamar.
