 | Hey ScubaDave1 - Used to teach PE and coach in high school and college (wrestling, track and football) in my past. Great pictures!

 | Hi, if you like to dive around the world I am inviting you to see the first city in America, Santa Marta, at the foot of the tallest mountain in the tropic and a fortress build against the pirateīs attacks in Cartagena and dive along these two sites in the Colombian Caribbean, to do some spearfishing, photo, underwater video, wreck diving, etc., let me know the dates of your stay here to set you up and show you around, thanks

| Where is Zeeīs Reef in relation to the old Herring Pens? Been a few years but your pics are bringing back many memories from the 80īs when I used to spend a lot of time either at the Fox Is. Bridge and other various places we could reach the water.

 | Thanks - Iīll keep that in mind.
|
| Have you ever dove Crater Lake? Heard itīs pretty clear, if you donīt mind the hike.
|
 | Yes the set-up works really well. If you seach online for vintage scuba supply they will have everything youīll need. Just donīt tell them your mixing it with that new fangled stuff ;)
|
| Very cool. I also have collection of doubles hose regulators. One cool thing I did is put a transmitter on a banjo fitting and a LP hose off of the hookah port for the integrated inflator, so I have a pressure gauge, BC inflator and an alternate air source.
|
| Were all the photos taken with a Sealife DC800?
|
 | Youīve got some great images. You forgot to list Platoon. Have you entered the photo contest yet? Would be great to see more of the NW underwater.
