Ahhh, interesting. Thanks, I'll have to look into the options, costs, packages, etc. My family & I can go to Coz for about 6-7 days for about $1k per person incl air fare, hotel, all inclusive stay (not incl dive fees).

That is a shot of Tom Madere. He looks just like Cousteau underwater! And the gear is every bit as authentic as well. He and his wife are also some of the nicest people I've met in a long long time. Can't wait to do some diving with them over at Dicks pond in July.
I believe the saying on the wall is Rob Studnickas creation! I've got T-shirts in the planning stage but I'll leave the saying to him for future use.

Bryan, You are correct about the "saying on the wall" originating from Rob. Also, everything you said about Tom and his wife was right on the money! They are a great couple and fun to be around.
