Its been awhile to put it mildly. Just got in from a couple dives on the Dakota and dove the Gulfstream  at Dinner Rock a couple days back. I am just getting back into the swing of things again and am  having a good time even though the vis is soso. It cleans up under 40 ft.  Going out to Vivian Isl. wall tomorrow for a couple.
I have not got my new camera up and running yet , so photos shall not be happening for a bit.
It feels like summer is here now and its just great being out on the water.
