* At the request of a few of our clients who received the original email, I am now posting updates on this forum as well as the ones listed below. Please note that a few of the updates that I will post here are from yesterday. The most up to date info and the most replied to board is @ The Deco Stop, if you would like to check there also. So, with that... Can you find Joel?
As you know Joel can be a pretty intense guy. This past Thursday he came in to the office gathered Scott, Kathy, and I and informed us that he was taking off for three weeks. (He must have had this planned out for a while, he was pretty calm about it.)
As long as I've know Joel and as many of you know he's always sworn up and down hes a "wreck diver" and real wreck divers don't do caves! But, now he's heading cross country to take a cave diving course. He must have set this up on the DL as no one here knew about it.
He spent the last few days filling multiple sets of doubles, gathering some gear, mumbling and grumbling about tank boots, (my tanks will fall over) Wet notes, (who writes stuff underwater?) can lights, (mine's not big enough), re-spooling wreck reels with "cave line" and whined about having to change out all his non- compliant brass clips (the one's he just takes from stock) to get ready for his newest diving challenge.
So we asked him what's up with this whole three week LOA and doing the full 180 on cave diving.
His answer was pretty simple. He said; "I need a break. I just need to get out of here and not think about the office. You guys need to take care of it." He then added " I need to go and do something that will challenge me and require my full attention and not think about the business."
With that he told us that we have free reign to do what we like and to make sure that when he comes back it's all still here and prospering.

Can You Find Joel?
He's heading across the country in a Dodge 1500 truck. The license plate is SUBAQUA (left over from the magazine days)
We expect he will take about a week to make the crossing and will probably be on Route 40 till Memphis and then drop down through Atlanta. (he can be predictable)
If you can find him along the way see if you can hook up with him. Buy him lunch, put him up for the night, let him buy you a beer or something. I'm pretty sure he would appreciate the hospitality.
He will probably check his email but forward to the office any business mail. I know he will take texts and cell calls.
Call or Text Him At: 928-230-3680
I have a good feeling that while Joel is out there "finding the real diver in him" you can get some interesting stories and some time with him along the way. IF you can find him.
Considering that he loves to make deals I bet he will do that along the way too!
To keep you all updated on Where's Joel, I'm going to keep a running thread on two of the web boards we are on a lot.
www.thedecostop.com
www.rebreatherworld.com
I will put up info as to where hes been spotted last, or where he's called in from (he can never leave without bothering us). I will encourage him to send me some photos from his Treo.
If you get with him get some photos and e-mail them to me, I will get them posted.

We sure hope that he will have a good time and that you get a chance to meet up with him. It would be a good thing . He mentioned something about diving in the springs before his course starts too. Maybe you can hook up with him and get in a dive too!
