  Amazing pics.

  Sorry to drift off topic, but I have to say, I just can't look at a body of water and not think about fishing.

  Orchids? Pahhhhhh....

  I worked pretty regularly with an old fellow named David Jackson. You never knew what he might say or do...

  One morning, during my conversation with a woman at the door, Dave FARTED. Yup, that's right, a loud, flappy one. Seemed to go on forever.

  Dave took advantage of the vacant pause which followed by saying, "Wherever you are, let the wind blow free. The holdin' back of the wind was the death of me. I read that on a gravestone, once."

  I left the porch in hysterics.

  Sorry, Xander. I missed this post, and re-posted the same topic. Damn funny stuff, though.

  Two nuns decided to ride their bikes into town. A few minutes into the ride, one said, "I never came this way before."

  The other nun replied, "It's the cobblestones."

  scuba diving underground

  earlier this year on vacation i caught the ferry over from cozumel to the mainland in mexico and dove the cenotes or underground cavern systems which have the clearest water i've ever seen....about 300- foot visibility.

  you climb a ladder 30 feet underground into a cavern with bats flying around, and then slip into the water and dive through the passage ways which take you about another 30 feet underwater.

  the scenery was spectacular.

  Jerry,

  Nice pics, Steve. How co - co - cold is that water?

  We might have low 50's in the shallows during the summer months. In the winter, or at depth, we'll see low to mid 40's.

  I know I'm diving in the winter when my face goes numb upon entry.

  It might seem daunting, but it really is no big deal once you've become comfortable with your suit and gear. I feel like a "Gumby" in my 7ml, double-layered suit, hood, boots, and gloves while out of water, but I sense no restriction at all once the diving starts.

  Randy and I are going to do a night dive in our underwater park this week or next. It'll be our first night dive there... all the nocturnal critters will be out.

  I noticed you guys were in full suits in the caverns. What kind of temps are you dealing with there? How long were you under? Did you do more than one dive in the Cenotes?

  I'm dying to visit some warmer water soon. I keep remembering Oahu, where we could easily spot the boat, floating on the broken-mirror blue surface, from the sandy bottom at 105 feet. That was cool.

  We should put our heads together, find out who's interested, and meet somewhere warm for a dive trip next year.

  Jerry,

  Those were some inspiring photos.

  Reading the experiences of the group from Olympia, it sounds like they had a thorough orientation toward caving, with emergency skills, before they entered the caverns. I liked the description of following the line, masks off, eyes closed, while air sharing. Nice preparation.

  I'd love to get into some warmer water soon... My brother in law is bringing his boys over for some neighborhood begging rituals this evening, and we'll be planning our next dive. In our area, we are lucky to have 300 ft. visibility above sea level, and many days measure the diving viz in single digits. Of course, after the dive, with an audience, visibility increases dramatically...

  Are you still a maybe for the Seattle fest? I'm still planning on at least a brief dip into our local underwater park. My favorite charter captain has some online photos you might like, at www.pacadventure.com . There are even a couple pics of Randy and I back in April.

  Ross,

  I read on www.scubaboard.com about a pair of dive fatalities off Scotland. A couple in their thirties surfaced in distress, and were DOA at the hospital. Not much more detail than that... have you heard anything?
