Well, we live a bit farther north in Ottawa, Ontario. For this season we have had 409 cm (161 in) of snow. This is the second most snow in a single winter and we are on track to beat the record later this month. I spent three hours with the shovel today clearing the snow. Right now it is...

Agree totally here! When we went on vacation to Bonaire we did the "dive with the naturalist." I know that this is not in your area, but does illustrate the point archman is making. The session was about three hours during the morning in the classroom focused on the life on the reef using...

Yes it will be cool in the quarry. Thicker wetsuit, gloves, a hood....all will probably be used in the quarry. I have seen folks go from the tropical OW cert to the river/lake/quarry AOW cert. They were very surprized at the difference just due to the equipment. It is true that the ocean...

On this we agree. As to the statements made that the outcome of the game was changed, well, there are many things that could change the outcome of a game. This was just one. Perhaps they should review the full, official, game tape of that Superbowl to determine just how many other "mistakes"...

This is like the neverending story. The lunacy continues. $100 Million Lawsuit against the Patriots Now, just wait for the congressional committee to be formed.

Dictionary and Thesaurus - Merriam-Webster Online Look up the second usage. It is defined as the past of DIVE. OTOH, my wife uses Dove in the shower.:D (taking the bait....)

I was travelling on business in the Scranton, PA area and my cell phone would not work. It showed "no service available." When I returned to my home office I called the provider to see what the problem could have been, or if they have no coverage in the area. The response: "If you are...

I have travelled with a few US based airlines. From my experience, both business and vacation travel. US Airways was the worst for on time departures and service. Philadelphia airport (PHL) was the worst for anything to do with connections. I would also recommend checking on your specific...

A quick comparison from an online search For the average diver buying a tank...... At Scuba.com Sherwood 80 cu ft tank 3000 psi with valve = $179.95 At Scuba.com Sherwood 100 cu ft tank 3300 psi with valve = $269.95 At my LDS there is no difference in price for a fill between a 3000 psi and...

Typical. So, the question is just how much more effort is it to provide a 100cf over an 80 cf. I guess that whoever charges more for a 100 cf tank sees this as a premium. A buck is not much, but $15 is a bit steep IMNSHO. As for additional cost to service and maintain a 100 cf, I would have...

"Beach" is a relative term. Compared to many other places that I have visited, there really is no beach on Bonaire. A number of the resorts have small patches of sand, but to call them a beach would be a bit of a stretch. If it is really the sand your wife craves, then Bonaire may not be the...

Not quite. Option 1. Kick a field goal and score. Result: score = 10 - 3 Patirots and a kick off to Giants. The Giants play selection would be different. Start point would be different. Time remaining would be different. Option 2. Kick for the field goal and miss. Result: score...

This is a fallacy that continues and continues. IF the decision was to try for the field goal AND it was successful THEN there would have been a subsequent kick-off with a return. The rest of the game would not have been the same. The sequence of plays would have been different, the score...

From the Bonaire Reporter January 25 - February 8 edition, page 2 The TCB reports that during the 2007-2008 cruise ship season, 156,702 ship passengers enjoyed the attractions of Bonaire, more than double the 76,933 who arrived in the 2005-2006 cruise ship season, including Freewinds and...

We were diving the house reef at the Divi during the last two weeks of November when a cruise ship was headed into port. Never mind the noise from any lauch boats, the noise from the ship itself was horrible. We were suprized the fish did not high tail it. Our dive was around 70 minutes...

I can definitely state that the low range for DM compensation is ZERO

We took the course with Jerry when we were on Bonaire during the last two weeks of November. Money well spent IMO, especially with the information on fish behaviour. During the dive we saw three frogfishes and a seahorse, plus a number of other critters. Jerry also refers to the Reef...

We flew to Bonaire in November via Curacao. Continental has the redeye non-stop to Bonaire, but we wanted to avoid that. They also fly to Curacao on Saturday with departure at 9:20 AM arrving in Curacao at 3:00 PM. There is a DAE flight from Curacao to Bonaire. We arrived in Bonaire around...

I was just starting out with my drysuit and was using ankle weights at the time. We finished the dive and as I was removing my gear the post dive full bladder syndrome kicked in. I could not figure out why I could not get my foot out of the dry suit and the situation was starting to get a bit...

Sometimes the comparison is misleading. If I were to walk into my LDS and show them the "price" of an item that I can buy online, they may not be able to match it. Considering other factors in my area, such as the cost of shipping, duty, taxes the full cost is different. The delta may be so...
