Commercial dive operation. We work on boats, docks, aquariums... We're knuckle draggers, not salesmen.
Think "wrench spinners" and not "charter captains" and you've got us right.

i understand about turning wrenches. (i was an OilField Mechanic for a few years.)
i still have some of my 3in+ wrenches and stuff.
most of my tools and equipment are out at my dads house. (he wouldnt let me bring anything with me to school, he was afraid of me using them and not focusing on school. so i took up Scuba and Saltwater fish!!!)
School sucks............

Very interesting documentary, and a real eyeopener too. I especially liked the slides at the end of the "official" government documents that clearly showed a coverup and why the government did it regarding the ship in the Pacific. :eek2:
SeaJay, you have certainly trimmed up since the Big-C... Way to go man! :thumbsup:

Thanks, bud. I was 238 lbs in the show. 171 at the end of cancer, and about 210 now. Trying to get back down to about 195...
How embarassing to have my "fifteen minutes of fame" and be so heavy...

Yeah, I had to wear some Akona Farmer John garbage... I had like 13 mil over the torso, and still froze my tail off.
That, too, was very embarassing. And very heavy to walk around with all of that lead on so that I could get neutral.

SeaJay, how did you ever get into the commercial operation? I think this could be a whole new thread on its own :beer:

Are you leading up the "Tybee Island Bomb Squad" or is that a bunch of wannabe's with hats? I am from Savannah, always used to kinda freak out my dates when we went to the beach and I mentioned there was a nuke(I know its not exactly a nuke but its easier to explain and close enough) somewhere benieth their feet when we wandered out on the sandbar.
How do you dive out there? Theres what 6 inches visibility when its good? My buddy was a diver in his younger years and not knowing better he went diving in the channel at the mouth of the Savannah river straight off the beach. Said he kept seeing really dark shadows and getting bumped by things on the bottom. After emergency exiting on the nearest boat he saw on his way up, he refused go down in black water again. Thats his story and hes sticking to it. I think he found some curious sand tigers, he thinks otherwise.

You mean my company, Deep South Divers, or my involvement with the Tybee Bomb search? They're one and the same today, but they started very differently...

Hahahahahaaaaa... That's pretty funny.
There's a bar on Tybee Island - a little hole in the wall that consists mostly of locals, called, "Doc's Bar." It's along a strip next to the beach where they sell souveniers, funnel cakes and T-shirts.
As a joke, Doc started selling a drink he called the "Tybee Bomb." I have no idea what's in it - it must have been pretty good, 'cause I can't remember.
Anyway, Doc's bar sells the hats - the "Tybee Island Bomb Squad." It's mostly a reference to his drink, although last time I was there, I bought a couple as a joke.
Funny.
Yeah, I can only imagine that that would freak them out a little. Most people just stare at me in disbelief when I tell them. Not until they see it on TV do they realize that yeah, there really is a nuke out there. ...Not sure what you mean about it "not really being a nuke," though...
Yeah, that's about right. Most of it is done by feel. We jokingly call it "braille diving."
Usually we locate a target by sidescan, then go exploring.You wouldn't believe some of the stuff we've found.
No nuke yet, though. No tellin'. I regularly run into tiger sharks (not sand tigers) in the mouth of the Port Royal Sound, two sounds up from the Savannah River inlet. Most of them are more than 10' long - underwater, they look even bigger.
Sand tigers are more common offshore - at least, that's what I've found. During tarpon and cobia season, though, it's also pretty common to get bumped quite a bit. Kinda freaks you out.
Tarpon and cobia have teeth, too... Ask me how I know.
