No kidding. If a 360 sat that long without water in my house, I'd wake up in it one morning (and likely 6 feet beneath the ground).
Glad to see you back, Monica. Why don't you dive? Does Don dive? I'd recommend to anyone who can to take a resort course if nothing else so you can at least see the real thing once. Not cheap (if having to do a resort course-cheaper to get certified prior, but not always an option), but for a reefer, you'll love it. It changed my life in at least some small way. If I had my way (I would tear this old building down-sorry...), I'd own a dive shop in Mexico or somewhere else in the Caribbean and do nothing but dive and scrounge for food (no money in owning a small dive shop).
