Other: It's been a great year of diving for me. I'd like to thank a few people for that. First all the great divers out there. (NJ divers are a fun lot.) I'd like to thank Corey my instructor for scheduling our checkout dives on such great wrecks. Thanks to Atlantic Diver for letting me on your charters, and telling such great sea stores (those of you that have not met Gene really should).
I'd like to thank all the boat captains and crew for such a great time: Dan and Jay (Independence II), George, Roger, Bob ( Bottom Time II/Dina Dee II ), Paul and Ruth ( Venture III), Tom, Ron, The Bartman (Spring Tide), Trish and Paul (Surface Interval), and Hendrick (Stingray).
I'd like to give a special thanks to Tom ( Dina Dee II). I don't know about the rest of you, but I will miss Tom!
Not to slight any of the other boat captains out there, but I am a NJ nubie. I hope to meet you all in the future.
And a special thanks to Mo for all the work on this board. We've exchanged a few e-mails, I hope to join you on a boat and exchange a few stories.
Have a great New Year All !!!! Safe diving next year. ( Mo did you say Jan 2?)
