New to Treasurenet

Hi Everyone - first of all congrats on a great site!! Am a UK based airline pilot who spends a fair amount of time in the Miami area during summer months. Just wondered if anyone has spare space on a boat and could show me the basics of TH'ing underwater next year. Certified diver, degree in history and enjoy beer! Keep up the good work , Mike.

Certified diver, degree in history and enjoy beer!

That history degree makes you more qualified than the rest of us I'm a little concerned that you might drink ALL of the beer, but provided you bring some of your own, we can probably find a spot for you. Seriously, we have a great get together at Jupiter planned, and several more opportunities that shall remain unsaid for now. Finding your way onto a boat as a diver is not terribly difficult, so long as you plan to be a law abiding pirate, and don't hog all of the wenches.

Mike,
Welcome to Tnet. You'll find a really unique and diverse crowd of people here. We're generally well behaved, and play well together and help each other out. There is a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and talent here make the most of it and enjoy.

Hey Mike,

Glad you found us, bro! Do a search for the "Live update from Jupiter" thread that ScubaFinder mentioned and jump in with us this summer when you're in Miami. The drive is short, the view beautiful and the friends are plenty. Oh yeah, there's some treasure, too

Godspeed!
Darren

He's a PILOT, not a PIRATE !!

Seriously, welcome Mike. Plenty of Brits on this Forum, mostly exiles.

Sounds great guys - will give you a shout when I'm due to come back. Would supply you with some British Airways wenches Jason but the girls I joined with 20 years ago are the same 'girls' we've got today!! Mike

Jason see the possibilities - instead of using liftbags on those ww2 plane of yours - strap him in the cockpit and let him fly the wing shot birds out ;-)

Mariner, Darren, Brad, and Jason...
I'm putting my dibbs in like Mike for next dive season.
I'm an avid reader of the Jupiter site, a divemaster,
and cook some mean steaks for all. Hope no one's a
vegetarian. My dream to join ya in all the fun and adventure!

 

[Darren in NC]

We'd love to have you, crab - as long as your id refelects your underwater abilities and not your personality I'm nowhere near being a vegan, so I'd love to try out your cooking, bro! Stay in touch and join us.

Godspeed!
Darren

Darren...substitute "bro" for "sis" 8).
Let me know what needs to be restocked in the galley.
Bon Appetite!

Ruh roh, sis. If you've read the Jupiter threads, you know you're going to have a mean hurdle to jump when it comes to Tim's cooking on the Rio Bravo (salvage boat). However, if we're on the Seahunter then there's no competition I'm aware of Welcome aboard, sis!

 

[thepirate]

Hi Crab - tried crabsticks but crabsteaks sound even better!! Mike

 

[ScubaFinder]

Crab, there is a nice big grill on the forward deck of the Bravo. Tim is a good cook, but if I know him he'd be happy to step aside for a day and eat some good food that he didn't have to cook. There is a no vegan policy on the Bravo also, so you bring the steaks and I'll bring the ribs. I think a little steak and crab sounds good together...that came out wrong...or did it? :P

You guys are killing me! I had high hopes to make it down to Florida but they are sending me to North Dakota. I guess I will just have to keep dreaming about wreck site hunting. I hope you all clean house this year! Happy New Year/Happy Hunting!
