I loved just getting wet. Dove in 3 feet of water in local midwest stream because my wife & I couldn't wait for spring. Also in cow pond. Not much to see. The South Pacific is fantastic. So is the West Coast, from south of Tiajuana to Canada's Queen Charlotte Islands.

I wrote and shot a bunch of stuff for publication.

I'm 77 and haven't dived in a couple of years. Maybe I will again.

I last used an RS with every lens made for it. Also a Sony VX 1000 in a Gates Housing. I think I'll keep the video and get rid of a ton of other stuff.
