Cavern/cave things at Marianna with Dene Ulmschneider in June Bonaire (for the 6th and probably last) time in October. |

At this point, I don't know. 2nd day of the year I was fired out of the blue days before my birthday, and there's not a lot of jobs here that fit what I do, or pay worth a shit if they are hiring. Might just wander off in to the woods and freeze to death and let animals eat my corpse. Circle of life, man.....circle of life. |

Nevada (Lake Mead, Lake Mohave) California (Avalon, Catalina Island) Marianna/High Springs (Jackson Blue/other caves) Palm Beach (usually go in the fall for some ocean diving but the viz has been trash the last few times we went so I'm hoping I can bump that up to late summer, even with the heat) HOPING I can save up enough for a trip to Spain this summer to go see family friends, but I'm 100% packing my dive gear for that, too and trying to find caves near their house to dive in, whether or not it's a "family trip" lmao |

Sitting in a hotel in Jakarta right now, going to go check out some Orangutans in some national park in Borneo for a few days and then heading over to Raja Ampat to hit up a 10 day trip on the Agressor. Haven't taken a trip in a few years because of the thing, might as well step back in with both feet. |

Hopefully adding Cozumel to the list for end-of-the-year shenanigans with one of my regular dive buddies, my wife, and his girlfriend (if we can get the girls to do their open water classes before our cruise). Would be sweet since he and I both want to dive but we both know we won't make it back to the States alive if we don't include them on the shore excursion lmao |

Pretty much staying in Texas & Louisiana. May make it to Winchester, VA for N-SSA Fall Nations in October. |
Call the tune and let's dance; but beware that the devil is the piper and the tab for that soiree will be hell to pay.

Look like triggerfish. So named because of the bone structre on the quill up top being trigger-like. They will chomp right through the shaft of a fishing hook too. ETA: and they taste great.
