about the heartburn: My guess would be probably the horizontal position causes it more than anything

Both Grand Cayman and the Big Island of Hawaii fit the bill (Big Island is better for land stuff, Grand Cayman is a flat island, not much interesting terrain). They're both on the expensive side though. I recommend Jack's Diving Locker for the Big Island. Ocean Frontiers on Grand Cayman offers...

You'll be really happy with Ocean Frontiers

Yeah, aren't they the ONLY way to get from anywhere in the US to Palau? When they finally make it a nonstop flight from the West Coast I'll be happy.

Shot in the dark here: maybe it's the electricals and not the noise. Aren't sharks sensitive to electrical fields?

There was an interesting Discovery Channel special in which scientists designed an IQ test for animals. The test consisted of a series of mechanical puzzles with a food reward, and it was rebuilt, scaled up or down, to allow different animals to operate the puzzles. Dolphins were ranked behind...

Here in California you see a lot of those in the shape of a great white, I honestly never liked that.

Thanks for your help everyone, Ill look into it.

I don't have an answer for you, but there is a dive medicine forum on this board which I believe has a real dive doc moderating. Try posting there. http://scubaboard.com/forumdisplay.php?f=4

Well, every time a computer's failed me, (twice so far), it was on the initial descent. The spare just changes hands before there is any difference in depth between myself and my buddy (assuming that its the first dive of the day so there is no difference in residual nitrogen). If the computer...

I've had a computer fail at the very start of the dive. Solution: I did my best to stay level with my dive buddy and went by what his computer said, since mine isn't air itegrated, I still had full use of my guages. Now I realize how potentially dangerous that situation was (bad diver! bad...

I've heard that Bimini is considered a unique destination because of its non-diving activities, namely wild dolphin encounters. For some reason though, I've never heard of Bimini being billed as a big dive destination. How is the diving in Bimini compared to the rest of the Caribbean (say, Grand...

Dive Bliss, www.divebliss.com is a very good op, but last I heard they had to shut down temporarily for some reason. They're probably up an running again by now. Highly recommended.

From what I've heard, that's actually not that rare, sportfishing IS more dangerous that diving.

I like any shark that I can swim with without losing extremities. Scalloped hammerheads, gray reef sharks, and silvertips look cool and fit the previous requirement. While I have never seen any of those species in the wild, I hope to eventually.

Great video! It's amazing that it came out that well with just a dive torch for illumination. The manta ray dive remains my number one favorite dive. The mantas are awsome, what's also awsome is watching the six foot morays get real friendly with other divers, which also makes for great video. I...

Two Words: Safe Sea (http://www.nidaria.com/)

I personally enjoyed diving with Ocean Frontiers www.oceanfrontiers.com on the East End of Grand Cayman. It's in a pretty remote part of the island, giving you that "outer island" feel, but it doesn't require the extra flight. The dive op is very professionally run, the people are friendly, and...

Every one of those mutations are variations on what is normal. An extra finger is still a finger. I'm not sure that a random mutation would cause a complex organ like a horn, that a shark was never programed to produce, to appear out of nowhere.

One more thing (sorry): if you want topside attractions, I highly recommend Hawaii Forest and Trail www.hawaiiforestandtrail.com. My personal favorite is the Valley Waterfall Adventure.
