Tampa Bay Saltwater....Rock and Roll baby!!

liverock · 01/30/2018, 12:18 PM

Ok folks....getting back at it. I have activated the webpage so orders can be placed now.

Folks that order will be shipped in the rotation as orders are received. I am still a couple of weeks out from shipping as I need to re-stock, but when you order I will let you now it was received and you are put on the list. The card will not be charged upon receipt.

I will charge your credit card a few days before shipping and contact you so we both be on the same page for delivery.

Now talk to the weather gods, as it has been the worst winter for diving I have seen in ten years!

But I am soooo ready to go diving and get the best live rock on the planet again!

mcgyvr · 01/30/2018, 01:09 PM

I was just about to call you and offer to do all the diving for you...
As a paid employee of course

homer1475 · 01/30/2018, 01:11 PM

Poseidon rejoice!!

Glad to see your getting back into it and mending, as I'm sure many people looking for quality LR are too.

I'll be looking forward to a small order of LR in the spring when conditions around these parts is a little more favorable to shipping things in water.

This makes me happy. I've ordered 4 times in the past, and I shall be making number 5 shortly.

Not to undercut anyone, but I'd dive for free and the experience.....

Your winter water temps are still probably bath water compared to our frigid waters of Northern California

7mm body + 3mm chest heater + hood. 5mm gloves and boots. Regs are cold water specific because, well, it gets cold. 54 degrees surface, 49 degrees at depth. I'm good for 3 dives usually off a charter / boat and always talk myself into the last dive of the day. Shore diving, well, I'm good for two. Lots of energy kicking out to pinnacle or into deeper / open ocean.

I would wager though if I was doing your job I'd still wear a full 3mm body.

Great news!

Awesome to hear. There were so many threads and folks inquiring when they could order again. That speaks volumes on your product and customer service. Keep up the great work.

You know what I find cool is that outside of the product a lot of people genuinely care about him. That alone speaks volume with people on the internet. Some of us may never buy anything but still somehow feel a connection and share a concern.
