Here's an old TPR study on the plates. It's a bit old, but still illustrative. http://www.window.state.tx.us/tpr/tpr5/4gg/gg04.html

Translation (from one who works for the Lege): No F'ing Way. Given the position they are taking, TPWD would almost certainly fight a rider placed on a bill directing them to take this action. A legislator would have to really believe in this, and likely call in some chits, to get the plate...

I'm in for two.

Interesting proceedings. The SINGLE most interesting chart, to me, was the Suunto "Remembered Dive versus Computer Profile of Dive" chart.

My wife and I took the Star Dancer on the exploratory route through South New Britain for our honeymoon. I'd have to say that it was one of the peak experiences of my life...not just the diving (which was great) but the cultural side of it as well. Being on first-human-to-dive sites was...

Be sure you have open heel fins. If you have full foot fins, you have to tuck 'em in your BC befoe climbing up the ladder.

We have the TUSAs and love them. Great value-for-money proposition.

Sea Searcher II. Looks like they are done...from the website: "As many of you know, we lost Harold not long ago. We decided to run the 2005 season but it's just not the same without him. We would like to say thank you to all of our Sea Searcher family that dove and supported us. This...

Mermaid, just saw this old post. The potshards used to just litter the beach north of the pier all the way up to the country club. Sorry to hear that F'sted is all shut down.

There's an idea in mountain climbing called "exposure." A technical move can be considered more serious if the consequences of failure are greater. Concrete example. I used to live in Glencoe, Scotland, in the Highlands. There's a famous ridge walk there called the Aonach Eagach and on this...

Not sure about the 4wd, but a truck was great to have rather than a car.

Thanks! I used a Fuji F810 point and shoot (now sadly out of production) in an Ikelite housing. Internal flash only.

Hey there! We saw two really big greens. The one in the slide show at Margate Bay, and one on Small Wall.

We did this in November 2005, took a taxi into Old San Juan wandered around, had lunch. Great to do on a pretty day! You'll have a boarding pass, so you don't need to recheck in when you return. Clearing security was no problem, either...we allowed an hour and it took 15 minutes or so as I...

I thought Grenada was a pretty interesting topside destination, particularly if you spend some time on Cariacou. A day trip to the Tabago Cays is very doable from there as well. Of course, I was there pre-Mitch, so it may have changed a bit.

Yeah, we're really looking forward to getting back. I came down with a cold a couple of days into the trip and, frankly, for awhile it was all I could do to haul myself out of bed, suit up, and jump off of the dock at the Black Durgon!

A Slideshow of pictures from this trip is available at: http://www.photodex.com/sharing/viewalbum.html?bm=90101 Photodex show...I think you'll like it! Dates: November 25 – December 1, 2005 Accommodations: Black Durgon Inn. My wife and I loved the place…in fact, we enjoyed it so...

When I was a kid living in Sprat Hall in 1981/82 I found an old pistol, grapeshot, a deeply encrusted hatch cover and lots and lots and lots of pot shards snorkelling off the country club in Frederikstead. The pistol now has a place of honor in my rock garden here in Austin. Does that...

Walindi is an EXCELLENT choice. I would recommend an Australian shop, DiversionOz (Google them). Used them for our honeymoon. Get them to give you a quote for the flight from POM + the stay at Walindi. Should be no problem to get it booked and paid for now.
