He is one of very small handful of people I know who have seen 500 fsw (why
I cant imagine, but hey).

What taste?
The great thing is that he just sits there and they come to him.
We used to hang with him at the Parrot, and Ade and I would be pointing them
out;
"Hey, check that one out. She's cute, stacked, nice legs (describing your
typical South Florida cookie-cutter Barbie-doll type)."
With a single glance from 20 feet away in a dark bar he would reply
something like the following:
"She's been divorced too many times."
or
"She has kids."
and my personal favorite;
"Na, she hates me."
It's really fun when one makes the preliminary cut, and then he starts in
with the 20 questions.
"Married?"
"Yeah?"
"How many times?"
"How long ago was your last divorce?"
"Got any kids?"
"Where do you work?"
"How long you been there?"
I always wanted to swing the light over and shine it in her face (except I
know he would kick me in the bag under the table);
"Where were you on the night of the 3rd, at around 10:45 PM? Come on sister,
out with it!"

Me neither. Didn't know he had done 500'. He did tell me he would be the
300' safety diver at the Freediving thing in the Med next week. I know
that's not a big deal for him.

Only in America would somebody talk this way, in public, about somebody in
Mike's line of work.

I am certain he did.
If it is the one I am thinking of, it was to a little better than 400 fsw.

What part?
Mike knows how much respect I have for him, I've also said it here several
times. He also knows I wouldn't say anything that could be used against him
in anyway. Why would this ever be an issue?
Dave.
