Another Sunday Dive missed because ...

I work at a pre-school ... Well ... In a round-about way, that is... We do try to teach the children to "share" ...

Sometimes, maybe they get a little "carried away"?!?!?

It's still the best job I can remember working in my experience!

Continuing recovery from an unknown-not-before-dealt-with virus that my immune system was not prepared for, I remained at home while Andy packed up his gear and headed for Puako End of Road dive site

While Andy and others were diving; and I, not having any new underwater photos to post my "WAAAAH" around, watched my favorite prime time shows online and found this video!

... Then linked to this video.

Since none of our usual group had "Slingshots", I sure am GLAD that Andy and our diving group buddies only encountered a few Reef Sharks on their Sunday dive without me...

...

This way to "Disclaimers, propaganda, and defense pitches" -->>>>

Jeff L. is the winner of the Join the Movement grand prize trip to Italy....

Yes - "cheesy and corny"; but if I get just the slightest 'reactive groan' from Andy, then my intent has been accomplished; and I have obtained some satisfaction since he DID have sooooo much FUN!

AND... Yes - many dive instructors as well as public relations officers are trying to "educate people so they don't fear sharks" or harm sharks or chase sharks or ...; but this video is so off-the-wall silly with a 'B' rate movie feel that it should not be taken seriously by anyone except for the propaganda theme supporting the Slingshots and that it's a clever contest entry!

Jeff L. also mentions the necessity of having your equipment in good working order and this is important what ever you are doing.

The rest is just plain FUN.

*A note that I filed away about these fins: The Aqua Lung Slingshots are a bit on the heavy side of the scale. If you are traveling much or very far, you may want to take into consideration the cost of checked baggage and the weight limits imposed.
