Subject: Re: And the beat goes on, and on, and on...
For F%&$ sake i pay a lot of $$$ for He in Cyprus
just because i cannot have 99.995 certified i have
to get 999.999. Every dive costs me around 80$ - 100$
on gas and i steel have to travel and get my He tanks
from the gas supply. But at the end of the day if i wanna
dive deep my life worthies more  than money !

I can definitely Drink a bottle of Jack Daniel's my self  and then drive 100klm
to
my home. This is not something to
be proud off or teach others to do it !!!!!!!!!!
