http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/nation/4990112.html Rick Simms --------------------------- New Rule: Just because your tattoo has Chinese characters in it doesn't make you spiritual. It's right above the crack of your a.s and it translates to "beef with broccoli." The last time you did anything spiritual, you were praying to God you weren't pregnant. You're not spiritual. You're just high.

I'm the one that's usually critical of them. This one, however, exceeds what I would have expected from either agency. I'll bet, however, it shows up in some agency's training soon. Much as I hate to say it, my bet is that PADI will get it out first.

I pay attention to lightening, but have always felt safer in the water than in the boat. This sheds a whole new light on the risk.

LMFAO I just completed my PADI open water on that same spot just two long weeks, and ten dives ago.... Glad I went to the keys this weekend.

Jeez, only two posts before PADI takes a hit.
