Divester's Last Dive

Well, it's time to doff our dive gear, wash it off, and pack it away. Before we go, though, we wanted to say thanks to all the people who visited Divester and supported it over the last two-and-a-half years. It's been so much fun for us, and we hope you've enjoyed it as much as we have. In conclusion:

Bill Reals says, "What a long strange trip it's been. I've enjoyed my time here at Divester, it was a great way for me to share some of my technical leanings for things like cave diving, wreck diving and my obsession with DPVs. I'm sorry to see it retire but the old posts will still be around and you may see some of us on other blogs in the Weblogs family. To all the readers out there, thanks for the suggestions, comments and praise." You can check out Bill's blog at www.reals.net.
You can check out Eric Brodeur at his cleverly-named blog, ericbrodeur.com.
As for me, I'll be moving to Divester's sister blog, Gadling, where I'll be diving into the world of travel.

Dive safe. See you on the hang bar!

1. What a shame to see this go. But we all know there is not a lot of money to be made in dive publications.

We'll just have to stay longer underwater instead ;-)

See you all underwater ...

10. I've enjoyed Divester immensely since it first opened long ago. Thanks for all the stories and info, and good luck in your future projects.

A special side note to the Weblogs family -- I will not make a concerted effort to avoid your other more popular blogs. Thanks for shutting down one of the best.

11. I'm still so upset over this.

I keep coming back just to see if it had been a cruel joke. Alas....

Willy, I owe you a special thanks for including my pix as you did. It really meant a lot. Best of luck to you!
