Ted,
DB has no limnologists to spare -- and we definitely can't afford to lose one to the ocean. Goes for all non-limnological DBers as well, in equal measure.
This is a weird sport in that you can actually go out and trust your life to someone that you barely know. Your story reminds me of diving in So Cal w/ Roan. Somehow, needing to trust someone that much right off the bat strips away a lot of the bs that goes with normal socializing. Either that, or the sport just attracts the best sort of people

Great photo, great cautionary tale. I'd lob karma but the system claims I've sent too much your way.
Hope your wife isn't reading these posts, or she'll be laying down the law!
