I can only go on so many bike rides; so many motorcycle rides; and so many scuba dives before I'm bored.

I am forever grateful to her for keeping me grounded.Favorite hobby: Scuba diving, cold and warm water.

I ride my bike, my motorcycle, go camping, snowboard, scuba dive, work at Church, and take a 3 or 4 day weekend almost every week.

People are still willing to live in New Orleans for some reason so I'm guessing people will be scuba golfing in FL at some point! 

Also used to be a deep sea diver working in the oilfield doing underwater construction-- so I have a lot of construction and PM background.We also had a $3MM real estate investing/development business wiped out overnight when hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans a decade ago-- had to rebuild from scratch in an entirely new city.

In this case, the defendants are contending that they were entitled to take advantage of this law because a Delaware state bank served as the lending partner when making loans to Pennsylvania customers.Kane and the firm Langer Grogan & Diver called this a “rent-a-bank scheme” and countered that it goes against state law, which does not allow for interest rates as high as those charged by the defendants.Kane also alleged that the defendants engaged in a rent-a-tribe scheme, in which they also partnered with Native American tribes to offer loans at rates permitted by tribal law.

Scuba diving, water skiing etc.
