    Default still diving in DR

    well.......

    jay, forrest and TJ, I finally got to try that thing you always guys use with the tanks at your sides, yeah that thing you look funny with... thanks to philipe (sorry Phil, don't know your username here), guy who extremly kindly offer me to use his transpack, regulators and even brought tanks for me!!! well even took me to HIS cave which is a dominican version of fallmounth (not sure if the spelling is right)

    well.... to tell you the truth about sidemount, I was getting stuck all over in places I never got stuck in backmount, but well... need to give it a few more chances, AND, I couldn't get inside the cracks I wanted to go in, I think I realized finally that those cracks are way to small???.

    I tried a push in a little virgyn cave we found with dave here, but I need to go back, it is a nomount passage (hopefully because I see more cave on the other side ), dave, I got stuck there on the rocks , I'm not thin enough to fit with the transpack
