[PSUBS-MAILIST] Keith Gordon, diving Niagra

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

David,
she is a busy woman, full of energy. She dives & snorkels with the Orca.
You wouldn't catch me doing that, all you would need is for one of the babies 
to think you were a bath toy & you would be history.
Might be cheaper for her to fly to California for a dive in your sub.
