Sounds about right. You sure did get a nice buzz on a 200' air dive, though.
And didn't freeze you A off.

I'm sure. I think my last dive was in 1971. Did you happen to see Men of
Honor?

Hi Dave,

Of course I saw Men of Honor! I grew up on Mike Nelson's Sea Hunt
too! I heard somplace that the Mk V gear and some of the extras were
all from DIT , Divers Institute of Technology in Seattle..... well,
actually Ballard,WA. Thats were I got my trade school tranining.

As for the air buzz, yes rather enjoyable side to it. The drag was
crawling into the chamber an cooking at 40' for 1 or 2 hours. It got
God awful hot in side.

But that was 25 years ago............... Now my only excitment is
yelling at Skip.

That series got me started diving. I still have my double-hose reg. I used
to have two steel 52s. When I first got them, I tried the old
toss-the-tanks-over-my-head-to-put-them-on thing. Man, that didn't work
without a lot of hurt.

just cant get the courage to give my loyal Royal Aqumaster away.

Of course you know why ya couldnt just toss thoes doubles over your
head???????
Ya just not man enough! That move was capable only by the Great Mike
Nelson ! I thought you knew nobody can equal his many underwater feats
of courage and strength.........

Yep... I used to have an even older serial numbered one, but it was stolen
years ago. The rubber low-pressure hoses are no good any more, but they're
still attached.

The reason I couldn't was because he used 38s not 52s. :-) FYI, he did it on
land, not just underwater... underwater is easy.

Lloyd Bridges taught English and Drama at my school until Hollywood called. He
had a close friend who was struggling to make it in Hollywood at the time, so
they sort of "traded places". The other fellow spent the next 30+ years
teaching the same subjects at the school. I still occasionally correspond with
both of ther widows.

Hey,
Cool....... ! What high school?? Please pass to Mrs. Bridges just how
much thoes Sea Hunt programs affected so many kids. It letteraly
change my life. I spent the majority of my life around the water
because of that program. Somthing about them that created a life long
adventure.

On the other hand, I never really got into Flipper that much, sort of
a Lassie of the 'glades. Just didnt do it for me. Ah, but Sea Hunt,
now that was some excellent TV.....

I wonder if Skip watched Sea Hunt?

I was born a poor black child and never had TV until I bought my own
in college. However, some of my more privileged friends had TVs so I
got to see a couple of episodes. I liked that and Sky King about
equally. Flipper was beyond my childhood, so I didn't bother with it;
I couldn't tell you a thing about that show. Back to Sea Hunt,
though:

That wasn't the motivator, however, for all my underwater stuff - it
was the flying that captivated me since the time I could see an
airplane; there's a picture of me at 4 standing with one of the free
gliders which came in the Wheaties I used to eat just for the prize.
Underwater is as close to flying as my impoverished upbringing and
adulthood would allow - weightless, above the ground (bottom). Being
a low brass player gave me pretty good underwater times; I've never
owned and only rarely used SCUBA gear but I have a hookah rig aboard,
which, if I ever get back into warm water, will get a lot of use.

And, an aside in the huge thread creep, answering another unrelated
question, no, I've never worked for a bank,let alone been president of
one. Being of no social standing, no social skills even if I were
genealogically enhanced, and little intellect, not to mention ugly,
I've been unemployed for more than 20 of the last 25 years before I
withdrew from the rat race (the rats were winning) to concentrate on
finding and then buying, and then refitting, our home.

New installment of our grounding and anchoring skills coming soon :{))

Wow.. that brings up memories... I couldn't get enough of Sky King.

However, now that I think about it, I used to watch Diver Dan before Sea
Hunt.
