My TV Interview!

[MattTheAquaman]

Here's a link to the local news segment on my quest to dive! One of my friends got it uploaded.... http://www.grunzster.com/misc/Matt.wmv

It's a little dark in spots and might take a short time to load, but I thought those of you that wanted to see it would enjoy it.

Let me know what you think!

Take care all,
Matt

Thanks for all the great messages from every one. I don't know how all you have the right words that encourage me to keep going. With out all of that support it would be much harder. Thank you again.

To tell you all the video did choke me up too. Chris did a great job. My dad's name is Charlee Dollens and not Johnston. I do enjoy my DUI dry suit. UW rocks it is great.

I am hoping to dive in early spring or early summer 2006. July 14 2005, is when the tv broadcast was done. I'm glad you all enjoyed the video. Yes, my dream is getting closer to when I do my OW.

All you divers rock.

Take care and safe diving Matt.

That was awesome, Matt!! You are such an inspiration especially for someone like me with a type of MD, it just shows that if you can do it then I know i will be able to cave dive to some degree. That mean a lot so just keep going you definitely are in all our prayers and i want to be there when you do it

Matt,

I know we tell you how much you inspire us but we are not just saying that to blow smoke up your skirt. I never am able to explain my passion for diving to relatives or friends without getting that deer in the headlights look back from them. If they do not enjoy the water, they can not understand the passion for diving. Now I can show them your magazine articles and this video clip and see a little light come on in their eyes for the first time. They seem to understand that you have what we have and it becomes real to them. I'm glad we share the love of diving and keep up the great work.
