The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

Hit the Quarry close to my home that has been turned into a dive park. $15 gets u in and what u do is up to you. BFeller and I went for a Group treasure hunt dive with about 75 people from our dive shop. Pig Pickin, Lots of free swag







and a warm day to dive the Quarry.





Brett got some defective dive gloves in his draw of the pirate loot.....Turned out to be coozies...who knew







Water temp was upper 70s to mid 80s, so a very nice dive.





We got there early and cruised down about 40 feet or so and found our Pirate Booty for the treasure hunt early, then spent the rest of the dives trying out just how boyant a empty tank gets. Dialing in weights for bretts new tanks and effin off in the plane or Bus at about 35 ft. Shot the #8 bowling ball into the basketball goal around 20 ft deep. Big *** bass in there.

Good way to meet up with other SKINCERS find a common interest and GO!

Hit the Quarry up at Lake Norman on Labor Day. I have put in 16 dives so far in the last 6 months. Different world down under. Nothing like being all wet
