I’ll be mine diving next weekend. I have at least two experienced people to dive with. I was actually invited for this weekend but wanted to chill since last weekend was so intense.
My new drysuit shipped from the manufacturer in San Diego Wednesday so it should be here this week! Can’t wait.
I listen to a podcast called Scared to Death. During last week's episode, they told a listener's story about a cave in a Florida lake that is supposedly haunted. I thought of you, Tradd!

Stylish! What is a drysuit?
It’s not a wetsuit! Seriously :). There are seals at neck and wrists and a waterproof zipper. You wear insulating stuff underneath. Fleece is popular. You put some air into it for warm and to keep water pressure from shrink wrapping you in the suit as you descend. Keeps you much warmer than a wetsuit.Quote:

Keep that photo as a special memento of all the adventures of 2020. You have had a lot of positive ones to treasure.
Definitely will!Quote:

I let her know how much I enjoyed class, how neat the mine was to dive. Thought she’d be interested. Crickets. She texts me back and talks about other stuff, but doesn’t say a word about my class. She talks about HER upcoming cave diving trip to FL. I mention it to a mutual friend. He said she bought into the lies He Who Shall Not Be Named posted about me being an unsafe diver, even though nothing ever happened when we diver together. She think I have no business in a cave/mine and is questioning what the heck the instructor was doing by certifying me.
Goodness! It never stops.
