A lot of you will know me from rec.scuba. I am currently certified as a
Naui OW1 diver and will be doing an OW2 course next month. I am planning 
on becoming an instructor and obtaining at least a six-pack license and
later probably a 50 ton license with the long term goal of running a
sail-dive charter business.

My interests are in deep diving, scientific diving (I am very interested in
nudibranchs and spend many a dive in a 50 sq ft area), and re-breathers.
I have been certified since 1976 but quit diving in 1981 after a friend 
died in a diving accident. (Not because of the accident, I've been a climber
for almost twenty years and have lost several friends along the way, but 
because my ex-wife sold my gear behind my back. If you really want an
earful ask me about ex-wives!) My now-wife developed an interest in diving
last year and I'm back in. We do 4 to 8 dives every month. I'd do more
but travel a lot on business. I'll not be much of a contributer here but
am very interested in the discussion. So far not much has been said that 
hasn't been discussed in rec.scuba. 

My personal thoughts are that rec.scuba probably covers all if not more
than has been broached in techdiver to date. I also think that any one 
reading rec.scuba quickly sees that 50% of the subjects are beyond the
scope of recreational diving.

'nuff said.
