I quickly tied a lasso at the end of my reel and pulled the cowboy hat out of my pocket and tossed the rope for the helm! I was able to catch it just in time. Then I reeled myself back down. I carefully crawled inside the wreck and found a paper clip and a ruberband and was able to build a new power inflator valve with those items and the gum i had in my mouth. I then continued my dive and found the rare hippocrab hiding in the galley.

................had to cancel my dive with you in St.Thomas because an infection in my sons mouth that set in from wisdom teeth extraction 3 weeks earlier, flared up the early AM he was to meet me in Clearwater with Capt. Derrick this past weekend to certify, so the whole thing cancelled for my son and I and no certification, so no dive for us next month, sorry I was really looking forward to dive with such an experienced diver.
