Sneak Attack?!

This just in...
It had been rumored that while in Florida our newest dive master Sam, after much public protesting and proclamation of the idiocy of tank banging, succumbed to the temptation!  One can only imagine what nagging curiosity drove him until he finally did it.  But, after weeks of investigation, your intrepid news team has been able to confirm this rumor.  Yep, another nay-sayer has joined our band.  Next time you see Sam around the dive shop or the quarry, pat him on the back and just give him a special look that lets Sam know that you know!  I only wish I had been witness to this historic occasion.

Breaking news story:

On March 4, 2003  at approximately 7:30 PM EST prior to the start of an Open Water pool training session, one lone woman, identified by her training folder as Ashley Oprandi,  stepped up to the plate to claim the honor (dubiously of course) of becoming the first woman to join our club.  In front of all witnesses she claimed that tank-banging did not hurt.  However the tell-tale little red mark was present.  At the conclusion of the pool session, she asked "Is that mark still there?".  You go girl!  Wooo Hoooo!  You are welcomed by your foolish band of brothers!
