Are
you a critter watcher who is looking for other critter watchers
to dive and survey with? Tired of diving with folks who bomb off at
breakneck speed, instead of slowing down to smell the roses...er, rockfish?
If
so, consider listing your name here
with
whatever information you'd like to provide, following the format below.
And
now, for our handy disclaimer (Read the FINE print!): Only YOU are responsible
for diving safely and selecting your own dive buddies. We are not endorsing
any of the folks who have listed their names here...this is just a free
service and we have not checked out anyone on this list. It's your job
to do so before diving with anyone listed here. Thanks!
