Matt, I've been away for a week or so (on a diving holiday, of course!) and it's taking me a few days to catch up with the YD news, but by far the best of the lot is reading that you've managed over half an hour under the water!

My God, man! That's a proper, bona-fide dive! Words just can't express how bloody thrilled I am for you. It must have been fantastic to achieve your dream after so much hard work!

Well done and thank you. You're an inspiration to us all.

New pool dive update!
Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to let you know I did 45 minutes under the water
yesterday! It was great! We went to the deep end again and I was
under at about 5 ft deep. I turned onto my belly for about 10
minutes, that, was really awesome!

On the inside of my dry suit I have a connector that hooks my vent
tubing to my dry suit, we found a hairline crack in it, and the air
escaping kept making my dry suit blow up! I think I need to find one
that is made of metal or some other sturdy material. We are going
to check into it later.

Next time I am hitting an hour. Thats the longest I am going to
go. After that I am going to start spending more time on my belly, getting the bouyancy down pat. Eventually I want to work up to 6 ft under the water seeing how that goes.

Here's a link to some new pictures I added of my pool dive
yesterday... http://matt55125.tripod.com/scuba

Take care everyone.
Matt

Hey Mark, thanks for all those great words! And yeah, it felt amazing to pull off all that time underwater. My dream is coming to a reality, but there is still alot for me to do. We need to have a life support system made that I can take underwater with me and get that worked out, mainly. Take care and safe diving. Thanks again!

Matt
