Hi Everyone, Back from the pool again.

[MattTheAquaman]

Just want to tell you that I had a BLAST in the pool on Thursday the 14th. I was under water for about 15 seconds (down 4 times) with the Neptune II Full Face mask. It well be a lot longer the next time. Awesome equipment, I love it better than my AGA Full Face mask. Just having air in my Full Face mask was really cool. I have some new pictures of me under water. Here's a link to my under water pictures page, http://matt55125.tripod.com/scuba/ I was interviewed on Thursday the 14th and the interview started at 2 pm and lasted until about 730 pm. So keep your eyes open I’ll be on TV UPN 29 Thursday July 21st at 10 pm.

For those of you that won’t get to see the interview I’ll post the video on my web site. They also interviewed my nurse Sara. She wasn’t too happy when she found out it was my idea. She got over it in a hurry. She said “NO CHESS FOR YOU”.. LOL. She is a big part of my dream. I thought she should have some input at the interview too. They also interviewed my dad. They had to do a few “retakes” because of the phone, it just kept ringing. The interview went great, I was a little nervous at first, but when the camera started rolling it wasn’t so bad by then I really got into it. I’ll tell more latter.

Take care everyone, safe diving
Matt

Glad to hear you're making so much progress! Keep up all the good work! If you learn to dive in Minnesota, you can probably dive anywhere - piece of cake!!

Hi John, thanks for the encouragement. I can probably handle Minnesota, but my first dive we are planning to do at Crystal River- Florida! Take care and see you around the board.

Crystal springs will be a great first dive, its about 60 feet deep and very clear, you're gonna enjoy it

[MattTheAquaman]

Hi div3r, yep I have heard the same thing, it will be an awesome first place to officially dive! Thanks for writing.
