False dilemma people. It is not one or the other.

I'm just making the point that if we really, really want to save the ocean we should stay away from it. Those fish do not benefit from seeing us.

... so then why does he look so happy to see me?

Actually people, you all are right. Not only should we not fly to our dive destinations to save the oceans, because our mere existence impacts the environment, let’s just kill ourselves to end our respective detrimental impact.

Who’s first? Not me....

Diver’s dilemma
I saw a crap-carrying crab (carrying empty cigarette case in this case to protect itself from predators) on the sandy bottom of Lembeh Strait (see my video, below). So, I said to myself, “Should I take that trash off the crab or leave it alone?”

I had a very similar experience many years ago at a quiet segment in the Delaware River. Consuelo and I were half dozing with a small rapid flowing gently over us. We gradually became aware of a delicate delightful sensation on our submerged bodies. Dozens of tiny fish were grazing on our submerged anatomy, and many more were arranged in a school slightly further away feeding on whatever drifted down to them. A touch of magic.

Post coital deliquescence.

Warhammer, if I remember, is an emergency maneuver that every student must master before basic certification.

Is that in confined water, open water, or both? If renting a pool, access may not be continued.
