You look like you still are having the most awesome time - and I was only thinking this morning that we hadn't heard from you for a while!

Your dream is getting closer and closer mate!!

Enjoy every minute eh?

Glad you're still enjoying it and having fun - it is a fantastic feeling even just when in a pool and breathing underwater eh

good luck fella!

Hi all, like always you are a great to give encouragement and thanks for the great words. I am going to love every thing about diving until the day I die. Diving is the most fun thing I can do. I can't wait until my special rebreather is developed. Then I would be UW a lot longer.

I am trying to get a pair of Viking latex 3-Finger Mitts because gloves take longer to get on. Who wants to waste time putting on gloves?

Take care and talk to you all later Matt.

Hi all,

By the way I posted one video on the video page on my web site of my last dive. It might take a couple minutes to load depending on your internet connection. Here's the link to that page... http://www.scubadivingdream.com/scubadivingpage7.html

I'm gonna try to change the video from time to time, so that people can see them all.

Take care and safe diving,
Matt

If all goes well I hope to do a dive at Wazee Lake next year at the DUI DOG Rally and Demo days. That would be awesome, I can handle the cooler water, won’t be a problem. That should be a great place to dive with lots of help. I’ll pass on ice diving though.

Nice one Matt.

I broke my gas switch which I use with my Ocean Reef FFM recently so I've been diving with the normal ½ mask again - just like the common divers .

I have to rely on you to keep the FFM Flag flying for a few weeks until I'm sorted.

Apologies if I missed any of your posts but the increase to 17 mins under water seems like a big leap in time. That's a big "well done" to you and your team.

I am really looking forward to reading your report of your dive at Wazee Lake next year.

Oh, by the way and with reference to your comment "who wants to waste time putting on gloves" well, let me say "waste the time and make sure you are warm and comfy". I mean if everyone had that attitude to wearing condoms for example ....... need, I say more .

That analogy works in one way but you can't really simplfy on a one finger glove .... I suppose. Oh well, no one really expects me to make sense anyway.

Hi Finless,

What I meant to say about the gloves is that it is too much work for me, as my hands are contracted (lol). It isn't a problem for others but is for me with the single finger gloves. I decided to go with the 3 finger gloves, that will be quicker and easier.

That's too bad about your mask. I'll always keep the FFM flag flying for you.

And yes it was a big step, it felt good to figure the things out and pull that feat off.

Take care and talk to you later!
Matt

And here's me, Mat, thinking it was so you could make the 2 most common hand jestures!!!

Keep up the good work mate, its great to read and watch your latest progress.
