I have to assume that there is.  I can't imagine that S. Florida does not
have a mutiperson chamber where you're surrounded by air and breathe O2 from
a mask rather than the other way around.  Perhaps because I was not in
obvious pain and was lucid, I drew the short straw.  I went where DAN said
to go.  Checking on available facilities is something else I'll do better
next time around . . . no, I'll do it before the next time around . . . no,
I'll make sure there's no next time around, but check anyway.  8^)

I'm speaking to a bloke I trust and whose advice I always listen to, even
when I chose to go another way.  I'll give DAN a call first chance and see
what advise they have to offer themselves and regarding a good diving
specialist.  Thanks for caring, thanks for the advise.  I'm eyeballs deep in
four jobs, the one I get paid for, running for Corporate Secretary for my
boat club (I hold the position now, but I'm not running unopposed),
Commodore of the Control Boat Fleet for the Winterfest Boat Parade (not all
that glamorous, involves recruitint, assigning and managing 51 boats that
help the parade line up and keep spectator boats out of the parade channel),
and getting ready to take Jayna out for a 4 day weekend over the
Thanksgiving Holidays (An American holiday to celebrate when my red skinned
ancestors sat down with my white skinned ancestors for a peaceful dinner.
It was not long after that they killed one another.)  It'll be a few days,
but I'll let you know what I find out.

Jayna sends her love and says you should kiss Sylvia for her.  Give her one
from me too.
