Rich, the job thing was no trick question to undermine anything you've 
said on the list. It is legitimate. It is an international publication 
that needs two divers for the job I just described. You'd be lucky to get 
30 days straight diving. Weather will keep you diving maybe max 4 da on 2 
da off. Ten days straight is the record weatherwise. They only need one 
diver now. Offer is open to any diver on the list. Answer on the list 
only. One sentence telling me yes or no. We'll talk at length later.
