I didn't recognize Jean with the hood on! Nice pics Chris.

Chris,
Those ARE great pictures!! After looking them over I started to wonder if maybe lead boots should have been the "fin" of choice. Was there much swimming or would have it been possible to just "walk" on the bottom?

I'd love to get there... that looked like blast! ;D

Very nice on the pics. Of course this is coming from someone who takes mostly backsplatter, so I am a little jelous :.
I think that your mystery fish may be a Grey Angelfish, but I just can't say until I can go and see for myself. At least that's the excuse I'm going to use.

Well, they did weight us all EXTREMELY heavy...
the only time you really had to swim was over the
tunnels because they didnt want scratches on them.

I think it is worth the wearing of the tank, Fred.

My pictures are going to the developer today (MOA and Florida trip)
I found that my 3MM that I used in the Keys, 19 lbs was just right!!
For the fresh side at MOA, 19 lbs was way too heavy!!! (Had to fill my BC just to stay floating)
The next time I go, I am going to insist on having 14-15lbs for Fresh and 19lbs for salt.

And I survived getting crushed by Chris. She made it sound worse than it was. We were all dropping like
lead balls on the fresh-water tank...So Chris, dont be so critical of yourself...We were all flopping down!!!

I will post the pics when they are done!!!

Thanks...Jean 8)
