Thanks DB ... I'll be going regardless of whether someone wants to go and needs a highly qualified dive buddy or not. I've never had trouble finding someone to "buddy up" with while out of the country. Just thought I'd see if someone on the boards had thought about going but might have had trepidation about going without significant experience. Having done Oz X 3, Fiji X 2, The Seychelles, Borneo, Tahiti, PNG, Cozumel X dozens, Central America X dozens, and the Caribbean X multiple dozens thought I'd look. Seems as though the Scubaboard Forums are more fluff than substance, more wannabes than beentheres, and more drivel than data. Prove me wrong please. I'm still waiting for serious answers to the total incompetence I WITNESSED at CoCoView during 2005 without people whitewashing things away by their blind allegiance to a "most favored" dive resort.
I have tired of peoples stupidity with e-mails and responses saying "send the check" and "I'm there as soon as you'll pay" in response to my earnest hope of finding a dive buddy. Blow the horn and sound the bell..."Calling all NON-morons".
