Hey, Grant, you sure yawn a lot, you getting enough sleep?

No, have not dove over there in Jolly Old England or elsewhere in Europe. 
I could not imagine being in a RIB for the full day or two days it takes 
to get to the wrecks around here.

You say air and nitrox? You don't use 100% for deco? So you say you do 
DIR, is this with long hose and iso manifold or independent doubles? When 
you see someone with independent doubles do you say "I say, old boy, that 
inde twinset is a bit retro, don't ya think?" or do you tell him he is a 
stroke and give him a bit of the old in-out/in-out until he agrees it's a 
stupid idea?

IOW, are you a talker or a doer?

 Jim
