Irember when diving was only from shore, not many people went on alot of dive boats , just about all my friends dove from shore, we had rack wet suits no gloves , booties , b. c. or pressure gauges. no fancy cameras or spearguns. we just went out and looked around and dreamed of what more was out there. Heck just about everything cost $29.00 but of course the average Hr pay was only $1.65 , less than $70.00 a week. Well I am just trying to say diving was fun back the we just went (no weather charts or fish reports) Sometimes we would go out with pole spears in Dec. for yellowtail, we never saw any but what the heck. we had fun. I think alot of people take it too serously, From what I have read to the BBS. Try to go out as much as you can and have fun while you still can, enjoy what you have. oh well thats my 3 cents
