What is the status of the old Dive Inn across from Cha-Cha-Cha Beach?

Hi Bill,

They are no longer there, but a high rise is just about done being built there presently.

Hi Bill!!! How have you been?????
I was the last person to stay at the Dive Inn. Then next day they sold everything that could be moved, then tore it down. I didn't think I did that much damage, but, you just never know!!

Hi Debbie Sorry to hear about the High-rise. The Dive Inn wasn't the Plaza or Harbor Village but the price was right, hosts were great and the location the best. How Hi-rise is the new building?
Anyone have a recent photo?

Pegi Sue: For being seventy I'm doing much better than most of my peers. I still enjoy snorkeling, travel, photography, the Grandkids [5] and your painting. How is your store doing and does it leave you any time to paint?
Bill

Hi Bill. We have stayed at the Dive Inn numerous times as well. Towards the end, Cha Cha started becoming a bit of a hassle. Motorcycles and cars screaming in front, loud music, etc. I even had people coming up asking if they could use the bathroom. I'm a really nice guy, but that was the final straw. Serenity Now!!! Anyway, we did have many good years and memories with a lot of people there.

I always heard you were never ostentatious with your money, but staying at the Dive Inn? Come on. What did Melinda think about it. LOL Sorry, had to say it.
