   I just started my subscription to this list, and as the initial
response requested, I'm sending out a short, introductory posting.

	I'm 28 years old, and became a PADI open-water diver at the age of
12 in 1978.  I'm currently a PADI Divemaster, fairly active in assisting in
the certification of PADI OW, AOW, & some specialty courses.  I have no
ambition to become an instructor, but in addition to being a PADI
Divemaster, I'd like to become a PADI Master Diver.  I have Wreck, Deep, &
Cavern specialties, and am looking forward to taking Ice Diver this Winter,
then try to find one other specialty course which I feel might be worth the
cost.


	I'm interested in getting into 'technical diving' because (sadly) I
just don't get the same sense of excitement when diving on some of the
shallower, more open wrecks.  I intend on taking some of the basic tech.
classes such as Nitrox, Advanced Nitrox, Deep Air, etc. classes & then
perhaps getting into cave diving, although living in the Great Lakes area,
my primary interest is wreck diving.


	I have around 500 logged dives, about 200 of them being deeper than
100', approx. 50 deeper than 130, and a few at the 200' level.

	Equipment-wise, I've just purchased a dual-120 setup with Poseidin
Odins, Sherwood manifold, and OMS dual-baller wings.  I'll be in the market
for a secondary computer to back-up my SCAN-4, and a good dive light setup.


	I'm single, employed iin the communications field, & live near Ann
Arbor, Michigan.  I have one son, Harley A. Hogg.  He's a Potbelly Pig, &
I'd love for him to get into SCUBA diving.

	I'm somewhat active on the SCUBA-related forums of Usenet, GEnie, &
America On-Line, & one of these days will check out the one on Compu$erve.
