I hope you didn't think Fish 'N' Chips was vanishing again. I have a very good reason for skipping the February issue - I had a baby girl last month. She is healthy and we are all doing well. Since my time has just become even more scarce than before, I may publish every other month for a while. But, fear not, I will continue to publish. However, this issue is super small as a result. Sorry about that!
PDFs - Would you like me to add PDFs of all the Fish 'N' Chips issues to the website? No message needed, just click Yes to PDFs or No to PDFs and hit send.
Aquarank - Fish 'N' Chips is now listed on Aquarank, which displays the top 250 aquarium websites. Since I just got on there, you can't even find my site so what do you say we put me on the first page with a click or two ... Vote for FNC on Aquarank! You can vote for FNC on other voting type sites by visiting http://www.marinefiends.com/vote.html. Thanks in advance!

Recalls
Head USA Inc. SCUBA Diving Computers are being recalled by Head USA Inc., of Norwalk, Conn., USA because the dive computers were improperly calibrated which can result in serious injury including decompression sickness.

Cressi-Sub SCUBA Buoyancy Compensators are being recalled by Cressi-sub USA, of Westwood, NJ, USA (Distributor) / Cressi-sub S.p.A., of Genoa, Italy (Manufacturer) because the expansion of an internal cable housing can cause a slow leak from the shoulder exhaust.
