Here in BC, Hawaii, Rarotonga (cook Islands), Jamaca,England. Dove in 
Thailand too, but was asked to show C-card there.

And they do!!

The Key word is "Hopefully"  :)

You mean they aren't?  Gee I must have missed something. (grin)

(grin) Well I must admit it is sometimes cold here, But I wear a dry suit so
I exit the water, dry and toasty warm. The diving here in a lot of places is 
unsurpassed by any dive sites anywhere else in the world that I have dove. I 
tuely is remarkable, but I do miss diving in my shorts and a T shirt with 
only 6 lbs of lead. Here is't full suits and while diving dry, 35lbs of lead. 
25lbs while diving wet. The water temp only changes about 2 degrees F between 
winter and summer, and I believe it is generally around 43 - 48 degrees F. 
However the weather outside in summer is awsome 80 - 90 deg. F
Well, Just finished checking all my gear for this weekends diving. Got 2 
dives planned for Saturday and 2 for Sunday. Wreck diving at Porteau Cove 
just outside of Vancouver,BC
Have a great weekend.....Safe diving!
