My Latest Dive Report:

Thought I would share with all of you that I did a 40 min, dive in the pool yesterday! I was face down for 2 min or so. I was under about 5 feet. I wanted to do an hour but had a few equipment adjustments (buoyancy issues). Have to come up with a better strategy with my weight placement. TV station didn’t film today due to another
Story the reporter was involved with. Will be doing something with them in the very near future.

Good News….
Ocean Reef is lending me all the gear I need, 3 Neptune II NIRA masks,
4 GSM Communication Devices and 1 M-105 Surface Unit. It should be arriving next week!
It is really cool that Ocean Reef wants to help with the equipment they are loaning. Will
Definitely make a big difference in my dives….being able to communicate underwater. It
Will save me from having to surface and re-surface to communicate. With this setup it will
Make my time(s) underwater for longer periods.

Take care everyone and safe diving!

That is Awesome Matt I am glad to see you doing so well and Glad some people has joined in to help with equipment I know this will make it alot better for you and your team to be able to talk with one another. I for one want to thank them for helping you out. Keep up the good work Matt you are an inspiration to us all. And if I don't get to chat with you before the Holidays you have a blessed one ok.

Your Friend, JAMMER

Yeah matt,

Keep on going for the dream man! You truly are a major inspiration. Too many people in this life never have real determination or drive to go for something that is a challenge. If more people had your drive and heart, the world would be a brighter place. I really mean that.

You're going for it - and I know it will happen for you! - Dive safely brother!
