    Wow, some of the things I am reading here lately make me wonder if my eyes are going bad.

    WHAT??? That just does not sound right. How much weight would that person have to have on his feet to be able to walk? Then how much air would that person use walking equal to a 12 minute swim? How tired would they be? Would they be able to make it back to shore? From 90 feet depth?

    Remember all of the weight the old school divers had to use to keep their feet on the bottom, they had to labor to take every step, they would definately not make it the distance equal to a 12 minute swim!

    I came up with the acronymn Lottie after several younger cave divers at a spot I frequent started figuring out who I was; one actually said, "oh, so you're the grumpy old b@$t@rd with all the scars." Joked about it once to some who knew me too well, and have been gobwats evwer since
    Thanks, that means a lot coming from a my Favorite Gobwats!! I am among the youngest of the divers I run with. Most think I am a little off center. We laugh alot and have a good time.

    This hoever doesn't count as I was walking to a wreck, a wieght pouch fel on my head. I could have sworn I heard a "Ghost Diver in the sky"

    It is the song ( a poor rip off of Ghost Riders in the sky) that runs through my mind when the rest of the voices in my head are silent

    We used to have those who's first time on that wreck to get their pic taken on that toilet. There used to be the toilet wall of fame. Then a few years back, the toilet was gone!

    Well.. I can tell ya.. I saw it with my own eyes... I don't even think he had much weight on his feet, as he just put his fins on and off he went, when he got to the wreck.... Perhaps a couple of ankle weights. The entire "swim" out to the wreck is not at 90', that is just the max. depth. Average depth is about 40', getting deeper as you near the channel.

    I had heard a bit about this fella, but still couldn't believe it when I saw it!
