    That guy did you a favor! Look at all you've accomplished without him! Good for you! I'm proud of you, for what it's worth!

    I dont see why you wont take this guy on as a friend and see where that goes.

    We are not all in the same place at the same time for romance.p and that may ezplain his lack of interest prior to thos.

    He sounds like a good thIng, 50’s and FIREd. That could work for you in major ways.

    One of the wrecks I plan on diving in Thunder Bay/Alpena, MI this summer. EB Allen, 100ft deep, sunk in 1871. Simply gorgeous!

    In Michigan this weekend for the Great Lakes Shipwreck Festival in Ann Arbor all day today. It was fab! Met some online friends from a regional diving group’s FB page.

    There's some interesting discussion on diving forums about divers being given rental equipment that then fails underwater, etc.

    I want to respond, but won't, that what do you expect when you go to out of the country to Indonesia, the Philippines, Egypt, etc., that don't exactly have a culture of accountability and safety. Diving staff are paid very little and as far as I can tell from the multiple accounts I've read, they will take divers way past their training to do things like shipwreck penetration because the divers want to do it and the dive staff need the employment.

    The divers involved are often infrequent vacation divers and either don't have their own gear or don't want to drag it on vacation.
