June 2002 Wacky Foto
South Florida Divers held a caption contest in June 2002.  The funniest caption, as judged by diver and cat fancier Rick Auchter, won a can of tuna, brand determined by what was on sale that week and what coupons Rick had.  Pat Kahl, Julie Taylor's dive buddy from New Jersey, won the contest with this caption: 

"And those stupid tuna thought I was a diver!!!! "

Here are the other entries we received:

  • Jim Reynolds: "WHAT DOES A GUY HAVE TO DO TO GET A FRESH PIECE OF FISH AROUND HERE?!?!?!"
  • Susan Judah:  Well, since the prize is tuna how about "Kitten of the Sea". 
  • Rick and Lori Rocco
    • "Taste like Chicken!" 
    • "Always rinse your gear after every dive!" 
    • "Some cats will go to any lengths for fresh tuna!"
  • Eileen Fischlschweiger: "Olympic diver awaits judges' scores."

You just never know WHAT Fred or Wayne 
could encounter on a beach dive!

Save lots of money using this 1951 classic Chevy for a dive boat...no need to pay for boat ramp fees OR parking!  Oh, and no need to take heavy tanks out of a car and carry them to the boat!

Why we all moved to Florida.

Photo by Cary Solomon.  He writes, "How is this for a cold weather dive? Temp 22 degrees wind 25 kts snow depth 16" (Wilbur Utah). Highway 15 closed due to power line down across road brought down by ice. We got stuck for an hour in a blizzard and made a U-turn at one of those "for officials only" turn places.  We went back the other way, got off 15 in Wilbur, gassed up and there it was...Aquatic Adventure dive store. I had to take a picture!  I wonder if they rent 2" wet suits?"
