A little bit about myself.

I'm 54 years old,  spent the last 26 years in Law Enforcement and Public Service, but I have many interests and hobbies. Some are riding our Motorcycles on long trips, playing in a Rhythm & Blues Band, watching Movies with my wife Mary [below]  and Scuba Diving.

Fleener and I drove to Arkansas and made a few dives, then Mary came the next day and we dove 3 more times.  I was up, down, up, down and had a time with my right ear clearing.  Two days after getting home, my right ear filled with fluid and I was deaf for 8 days. Had to miss work at 911 as I could not hear the radios and phones at the same time.  By the 9th day, it started to clear and I could hear well enough to talk on a cell phone.    

Mary tried to use her new dry suit but it was too tight when in the water and she went back to the older 5 mil wetsuit for a deep dive.  We had 80 degree top temp, a thermocline at 29 feet, then at 40 feet the temp was right at 62 degrees.  Very nice....

  Here are some shots I took from our last trip to Beaver Lake July 10th to the 13th.  The water level was pretty high due to all the recent rains and that made the visibility between 4 and 12 feet, depending on your depth and area on the bluffs.

Below is the Blue Hole in Santa Rosa, New Mexico:  Too cold for Mary...  61 - 66  Degrees year round

but it is 88 feet deep and 3300 gallons H2O in/out per minute or something like that,  makes

a great training dive destination for all Front Range divers. [Click on the Pic]

Well, that is all the time I have for right now. 

Got to get the gear packed and tanks filled, cause we're going to go get wet again. 

The deeper you go, the better it feels!

Go Diving!
