Congratulations Liz, on coming full circle! It must have felt wonderful, because it sure looked wonderful!

I am sure these picture must be of Liz: and :

I have some underwater shots - I will try to post this weekend. And yes those last ones are of Liz at the cams!!

It was great o be able to see her get back on the water again I must have asked her if she was okay 1000 times - and every time she would signnal okay with a big grin on her face!!!

Julia - it was lovely to see you again on Bonaire and I wonderful to dive with you and Bob again. And lunch with you guys plus Tom and Smack was too much fun

Hey - did you guys notice my pink fins!?!?!?!?

GO LIZ!!!! It is wonderful to see you back in the water!!

Hooo-woooo!!!! go girl!

Great pics Julia! Strong work Liz! Thanks for posting!

Hooray! Way to go, Liz! And you are a stronger person than I, to dive in just a t-shirt! Brrrr!

Julia & Bob,


Thanks so much! I didn't have a clue you guys were taking pictures! You are right I was preoccupied! If you look at the picture where Ed and Bart were with me, Bart making sure I was ok from behind and Ed from the front, and then later, they were both facing me, I was nervous enough and had to tell them to let me do it myself!!!! They were both the same wreck that I was I think. Once I hit the water and took my first breath on my regulator, I wanted to scream (actually I did, but no-one could hear me!) It was absolutely wonderful! Mary & Dirk, I could and WOULD HAVE NEVER done this without you guys! Mary, I cannot wait to see the pictures.

Also another quick note. I took my "first" 6.25 hour dive Saturday....

As some of you may know I recently completed my recompression chamber certification and now am certified as a recompression nurse. I'm working on a dive nurse certification also.

My first patient was Saturday. We both came through the 6.25 chamber dive VERY well.

YIPEE!!!!!

Thanks again Julia, Bob, Ed, Bart, Mary and Dirk!

Hugs

Liz

Wow Liz, thanks for the update -- I'm glad ALL went well. We had a brief visit with Mary M when she passed through NYC on Friday. She had to get her visa and other paperwork processed before her trip to Russia. We made pizza and chatted in the backyard before she had to hop into her limo to head home.
