Thanks for the compliment ScubaJay. I hope I wasn't long-winded but I like to be clear.

How about in the spring divers who are interested meet up for pizza at some local establishment? I for one think it would be great to put some more faces to the names we see all the time on Winni.com..

If interested please private-message/PM me with your contact info..

I have lots of dive buddies but also dive alone if there is nobody around ready to go when I want to go. I don't do this in the ocean (currents can be..."problematic"-just not worth the risk although I've never been unable to get back to my boat-can't say that for some of my buddies who go out with me-had to go get them on more than one occasion because they lacked "situational awareness" thus getting caught down-stream and unable to swim back to the boat; It's very very easy to get separated in low viz conditions and surfacing time and time and time again each time it happens to try and re-connect with your buddy-regardless of what you've read about-is simply not realistic for several reasons).

The more folks I can connect with the better as far as Winni diving goes. For example, those of us who are boat owners would also be good to know so divers who don't own boats can get out on the lake with them.

Last year I suggested to Don our terrific WebMaster that he create a separate link for divers and diving Winni-sure enough we had our link in short order. Sure made it easier to drill down to the topics related just to diving-thank you again Don!.
