    Talking Countdown until ... Monday! VROOM VROOM!!!

    Next week I will be the proud owner of a new DiveX Cuda 400 !

    So it all started about 3 months ago with a tax refund. I had recently been hooked on a Sierra so I convinced my wife that we should by two Sierras with the refund money. It would change her life, forever! She agreed! So after three months of agonizing (AGONIZING), fretting, nail biting, anxiety, shifting money to and from the Caymens, endless research and all kinds of obsessing... and buying a new DUI drysuit after telling her some years ago that my Fusion would be the only I ever needed... my wife breaks the news that "there will be no upgrading -- it's a one-time deal".

    I promptly decided that a Cuda 400 would be the way to go. After watching me write the check my wife promptly made it clear that it was her scooter and maybe she'll let me take a class with it, maybe I can lug it through the surf for her, maybe I can use it when she's not around -- and tow me when she is... maybe I can get my own after I upgrade her bathroom...

    So here I am with just 7 or so days to go until my shiny new Cuda #1 arrives... so now the real obsession begins as I wait and toil in anxiety until I have an oppurtunity to kick it into 8th and crash bounce off of things...

    GET OUT

    Buddy - your life is SO SO SO about to change.

    Shake off the naysayers. I have yet to be on the dive that wasn't or couldn't be improved with a scooter.

    All your dive sites are about to become very small. You're going to laugh.


    Be sure to come back and tell us all about it

    MORE PICS!!!

    Well, gee, if all you get to do is carry it through the surf zone, you shoulda stuck with a Sierra . . .
