    Ten things I learned in Bonaire last week

    I've been going through the ABC subforum this week collecting tips into a huge txt file for my own trip in September, so this thread was sorta timely. Thanks for the all the good stuff.

    Ten things I learned in Bonaire last week

    2. All of the posts about leaving nothing in your car but a half empty bottle of water were not an exageration. You mean all those people saying "ive been 10 years in a row and never seen crime" are a vocal minority? That might explain why Bonaire has an established reputation for petty...

    Need recommendation for Open Water instructor near Memphis, TN

    Chip trained me back in 2001. Great instructor. Very thorough. The Dive Shop itself, hasn't dealt with the transition in the dive industry very well. The last person I referred there ran anyway in sticker shock and asked me "why do I need to buy a wetsuit to get certified?". I was downright...

    "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"

    They are appealing because they weren't written for mass consumption. He is brutal at times. He doesn't mind a slow build up. He does things someone writing to sell millions of copies in an airport might not do. He isn't writing worried about what the editors at the publisher are going to think...

    Cactus Juice

    They probably did you a favor. In blind trials, Cactus Juice wasn't as effective as Deet based products.

    Stupid River Monsters!!

    I'll second that. I tried watching river monsters, but most of the fish were really harmless. The host overplayed the threat from them. Kind of reminds of barracudas in nature documentaries.

    Stupid River Monsters!!

    The show is on bull sharks, of which we do have recorded attacks in streams/rivers. What's the big deal?

    Cozumel to reduce diver numbers?

    It seems like as soon as you have a few dive ops on an island, they form a watersports association with government backing that prevents new competition. Typically, environmental causes become front groups for commercial interests. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that some of the big...

    ¸„ø¤º°¨°º¤Please Help Save the Whales from Obama's Wrath¸„ø¤º°¨°º¤

    The new proposals would end the old whaling system which had so many loopholes that it was worthless. The new whaling system would have quotas by which Japan, Norway, etc would abide for sustainable catch rates for mostly non-endangered whales. I am with Obama on this one. Everyone who loves...

    Best Scubaboard Posters

    I nominate myself. Mostly for the cool House avatar. My best posts were deleted for various reasons including self-incrimination, mental abuse, libel, slander, and good taste.

    Strange Figure reflected from my mask:

    It shows none of those things. When you see a cloud that sorta looks like an elephant's trunk kinda sorta in a way, you are probably the kind of guy who imagines the rest of the elephant, a circus, and several clowns. It actually looks like a smudge on the glass. Optics work pretty easily...

    Shooting salt water up my nose everyday & feeling good! Anybody else doing this?

    My wife has heard the fuss about nasal rinses. She bought one of the various kits from Costco. It went under the sink and was forgotten about. I actually developed a real infection of the lungs, throat, sinus, etc. I figured I would try the kit. My baseline: After a bad sinus infection starts...

    Split Fin Physics

    The split fin design that Atomic and others use is licensed from Nature's Wing. I doubt the marketing guys that made the pictures with the arrows had any idea how the fins actually work.

    St Lucie Inlet: Lemon Shark or Sand Tiger

    Sand Tiger. There are spots on the side. Also, the shape of the nose.

    LCBR - is there a PC available?

    Last time i was there, there was a PC available, with fees. I disabled about 10 programs guests had installed that ran in the background....... Just doing my part for the next guy. I would be wary of typing in anything since a keylogger could be running.

    Nickelodeon Water Park coming to Cozumel

    This is terrible. Now my non-diving wife will demand that she and my toddler come with me to Coz!

    Large hammerhead in Coz

    Its not Coz specific. I am guessing that you will find large hammerheads on any reef system where you have depths of 300+ feet. You just don't normally see them in the 100ft you dive.
