Tracey, 
This was not directed at you. If you read the post I was responding to, then 
you should know I was ticked off with what this guy just said, and I was 
trying to put him into a category I could elaborate on. I did'nt want to 
elaborate on finding stuff in low viz mud, because thats another kind of 
diving, for different interests, and my comments about South Florida DON'T 
apply to it. If thats where your interests lie fine. I made no attack on 
those interests. Any attack you felt was on him.

something.
>>If thats what you want, I have nothing to say to you.

Again, this was NOT about NY/NJ divers! I said if someone was new to tech 
diving in "someplace, usa" they would be better off diving with the best 
tech divers in Pompano than the divers less skilled than themselves in their 
own "someplace, usa".

Lighten up Tracey, I have no intention to trash NY or NJ divers. I know its 
a harsh environment and you have to be good to be a tech or advanced  diver 
there. My beligerent attitude was directed toward someone who deserved what 
I sent out, and I did my best to focus on him. And I'm sorry if you were 
offended, but check the thread closer.
