G'Day, Mike!  Sylvia has strict instructions that if I should cark it while
diving neither she - nor anyone else - is to say, "He died doing something
that he loved!"  She is to say, "He died kicking, screaming, fighting for
life and scared shitless!"

BTW!  Re the possible visit to Underwater Intervention, in New Orleans, in
what is now just two weeks away, I'm still arguing about the wisdom of them
sending me!  I'll let you know immediately a firm decision is made.
(Although the time-frame they're now suggesting won't allow any time for
catching up with mates, or diving!)  :-)
