    During your first year of diving, what were your biggest challenges?

    Having enough money to dive. It wa s cheap enough, but I was too young to be able to afford even that, or get to places where I wanted to dive. As I got older, that became less of a problem, obviously.

    Is Port Bonaire that noisy with the airport? How about Sand Dollar?

    I guess we're zeroing in on something...hahaa...I like the look of Port Bonaire, but Sand Dollar may be the way we go. I ran into the "Zales" condo here on the board and it looks great, and they seem really nice...anyone have any experience here or knowledge on either?

    Are Weight Belts Obsolete?

    I do just fine with 4 lbs. in (2 in ea. side pocket) my WI Zeagle Ranger and either 2, 3 or 4 lbs. in the small of my back in a pocket weight belt depending on what I ate last night (ha) or the conditions or what makes me comfortable that day. If I ever had to "drop half my weight" I would lose...

    GOing to Bonaire in JUly

    Try flying into Curacao and jumping to BON for $50 on flydae.com, then come back from BON if you can. We are going TPA>CUR then BON>TPA on the way back for $520 in May...It's expensive to get to Bonaire because its not serviced by every airline.

    Corrupt immigration in Nassau?

    They're just lucky they weren't trying to enter the US, where they possibly could have disappeared into a secret prison, not afforded legal representation and held indefinitely without charges...

    register to State Department to abc islands

    A little angry there, ne'st ce pas? You apparently fail to understand (and continue to fail to understand) the difference between those intrusions to which you VOLUNTARILY open yourself by doing business (and sometimes by not checking the "don't contact me" box), and unwarranted governmental...

    Ugh Oh Baggage!!!

    Make sure you don't go over 20 Kg (44 lb.) in one bag. You can carry on 10Kg additional. Then you have to pay $2 (or more - as stated in the chart) per kilo (this adds up quickly). So its really $2/kilo over 30...and yes, they do enforce the limits (it's extra money for them, so why not?). If...

    register to State Department to abc islands

    You forgot one important little fact - for the Government to find out anything about you through the private records you cited, a warrant would be required. When you "register," you waive that important requirement as to your privacy with respect to your travel. When you truly understand the...

    register to State Department to abc islands

    Yeah, don't worry about the government...I would wager to guess that if you 'disappeared' somewhere, the state department wouldn't be all that fired up to spend the time it would take to find you, unless you were Anna Nicole Smith...I don't engage in any activities I have to worry about (when...

    Knowing what you know now, if you could go back in time, what would you tell yourself

    Ouch...my other one (in addition to Microsoft) would have been "marry that one" when I was a young terminally hip, slick and cool entertainment lawyer in LA after more than just a few dates in the mid-late 80s with a young, nutty, singer-songwriter (who eventually turned out to be "the" Sheryl...

    Will your buddy/"instant buddy" sue you if something happens or vice-versa?

    Wish I did. I threw that together as a joke one day, and you should see the arguments it caused. The old thread is back there (looking backwards) somewhere...it was kind of funny, kind of not...anyway...
