Couldnt find the videos, but that is likely due to my firewall.

How deep is the wreck? The visibility in the video looked better then
anything I've seen in 850 dives!

Geez, Al.  It looked kinda murky to me.  Where've you been doing those 850
dives?

I'm not saying I haven't experienced worse viz, but I've had at least as
good and often much better.

North East and most of it's been lake diving in our beautiful Lake
Winnipesaukee. I have dove down South in Rhode Island, and up North in
Canada but most of my diving has been in NH, ME, and MA. In the lakes around
here once you get below fifty feet it's like a night dive with no moon.

Boston has an airport.  Airplanes are available to take you somewhere
nice.

Which would be basically -anywhere- outside of Massachusetts?

I went to Mexico in Feb. of  "06", I did one nice dive on the first day we
were there. On the second day my foot was crushed by the dive boat and I was
out of the water for almost four months. I spent one day in the ER in NC and
a week in the hospital when I got home, besides my trip to the ER in Mexico.
DAN insurance paid thousands of dollars that my primary didn't cover. I now
think cold water diving is much safer :). I'm going to DEMA next month and
may do some diving in FL after the show, so I can try warm water diving one
more time. While I was recuperating I missed some under ice recovery dives
that hurt me more then the warm water dives I missed.

As far as the airplanes go that's not something I look forward to! I had a
construction accident in 1985 that left me without a knee in my left leg, my
leg is fused and unable to bend. This makes travel very uncomfortable.

Steve,
Is this near Sharm el Sheik or some place further north in the Red
Sea?
