DOTY 2012 Awards/Dive/Potluck/Chill Photos and Videos

Few more...

THANK YOU once again to NCKA, all the Amazing sponsors (Ernest lucky13, Amadeo Bachar, FreediveShop, Pacific Nalu dive products, Austins Dive Center, fuzz,  IceCold Chuck and Matt Michie from CALDFW) for all the excellent prizes!!

To me...that day was a really great example of all that I love about NCKA...great friends, good food, excellent times, paying it forward, smiles and laughter.

Love you guys!

 

Sincerely,

Jim

Side note:

I chose the 30 pounds of lead dive weights crafted by IceColdChuck and the rubber weight belt donated by fuzz as my prize.

I gave them to my young buddy Jesse last night when he and his wife came over to pick up some fish.

He has been using my old belt but it is not rubber and it slips and slides on him frequently. This one will be much better for him, and he was super stoked! 

It was great to see him and his wife out there...it was her birthday and she was out there at 6am with us to support him and check out what the whole diving thing was all about...she had a great time and told me last night how friendly and cool everyone was. 

WTG NCKA on making another great impression!!!

I'm just waiting to snag a golf cart on a diamond jig along the bluffs over there.

One more thanks to the trio of Al (coordinator), FM1 (paddle owner) and Sean (delivery system).

I was out at the Island with only half a paddle and the unparalleled camaraderie continues to amaze me when a paddle was delivered!

Great day even for the dogs!

Big thank you for all who participated in the Baby Matthew dive! Every little bit helps! I had A wonderfull time just chilling with good friends! I love this group of people you all are amazing!! Cant wait to do it again!

Me and my brother had a great time chilling and just truly enjoyed the day in that nice beach.  I even came home with some perch from Joe and a date to get me into spearing some blues soon.  Whoever put some beer in my cooler, you still have 3 left but I soon drank it all yesterday.  I should looked before I took it home but let me know who you are and I will bring some for you next time.
