Those matters aside, I did enjoy the movie.


HI Dave

Darn............. youre the real deal!

Most of the DIT instrtuctors were all retired USN salvage guys. Great
instructors! Lots of good sea stories too. There was an instructor ex
Master Chief Schneff. Great guy and think he was doing the same as you
at the same time. Now that was a guy who new salvage
operations.......

Dont know if DIT is still using the Mk V anymore. When I was there
that was the dress we used for the first week. Ugg, 196 lbs if I
remember right. THey also had one of thoes monster Mk V style gas
suits on display. Gear shure has come a long way. I used a MIller 400
in the GOM. I couldnt emagin using that navy gas rig and getting
anything done.

Good to yak with you. Do you ever get a chance to blow any bubbles any
more. Im a common airbreather now. I cant be trusted with anything
more than a mask and snorkle.

I liked the move too......
