new ice diving challenge

[Shooter]

Well said popo! ROTFLMAO, Actually, speaking from personal exp., I don't think I could put a $ value on it. It was and continues to be a valuable asset! Kind of like the gift that keeps on giving, day after day, week after week, etc, etc etc

Terry, by the way, the county didn't stop funding us. I hadn't planned on "going public" but since you brought it up, I will provide an explanation. Fortunately, we didn't have to make any recoveries of persons in our county during the years of our volunteer services. At times we put our lives and equipment in harms way. We had been given assurances that in the advent of any damage or liability, it would be replaced and or covered. We didn't have 100% backing from the people we volunteered our services too. We had a team meeting and decided that we couldn't afford to do so. It was a great exp., and I would do it all over again. To be able to give back and help others doing what I enjoy most, was very rewarding. If anyone has further questions and is interested in doing something similar, I would gladly share my exp. with them.  8)
