OK, not really.  When the tsunamis passed under our boat, we were all
aboard and didn't feel a thing.  Our next dive, the last of the trip,

Do any of you have a similar problem?  What do you do?  I already see

I had my regulater rebuilt last year before i went on vacation.
Unfortunatley I have not taken a dive since then (1 year). Should my reg be

Oops, guess not:
In the meantime, beachgoers were advised not to eat or even touch them.

Just wondering if anybody knows if any divers were caught in the Tsunami?
If so, what happened to them?  Were they in the water during dives or on
dive boats?
