    Get in your best shape for Bonaire Shore Diving

    With Colleen's accident, and now with the return of Winter, my daily walking has become less consistent.

    ScubaBoard Invasion Central 2024 Bonaire

    At BTS in Newark today my brother, Dale was chatting with the folks from The Plaza, where the SB Bonaire Invasion, 2024 is staying. Unlike me, he's never set foot on that property. He seemed pleased with his research.

    ScubaBoard Invasion Central 2024 Bonaire

    Update @ an hour ago. https://infobonaire.com/oil-spill-detected-in-the-waters-of-sorobon-lac-cai-and-lagun/ So far this seems to be limited to the east ( or Wild) side, while nearly all the diving sites are to the west. That might impact us less as we are diving, but it can be very bad for...

    Get in your best shape for Bonaire Shore Diving

    Mostly I am just focusing on walking more, to build the leg back up, and prepare for shore diving again. I had to stop for @ a week because I overdid trying to hike @ 2 weeks ago without the support of my heavy hiking boots, and I injured my bad foot. It healed quickly when I had no choice but...

    Jim got to play in a couple of SB threads where emojis were once popular. It was fun at the time.

    ScubaBoard Invasion Central 2024 Bonaire

    I doubt I could remake the ones I used to make for less than the $14 I just spent on the replacement, and that does not count how far out of my way a marine supply store is from out here. I used to work near one, so it was not a special trip for materials.

    ScubaBoard Invasion Central 2024 Bonaire

    Yup. I made a few for family and friends after seeing bowlofpetunias and thanksforallthefish using them on our Oz trip, now long ago. Somehow I misplaced mine. This replacement probably cost me less th as n what i spent on the originals. For travel, I've never regretted making that change. I...

    ScubaBoard Invasion Central 2024 Bonaire

    The one I had made for myself previously was a bit of 1" webbing, a swivel clip and a snap buckle, all from a marine supply store. There is a link with the "10 Tips" video that Roxanne shared above, for this one, which is very similar, and low $ enough for me to just buy a replacement. This is...

    ScubaBoard Invasion Central 2024 Bonaire

    I just replaced the fin keeper that I had made for Oz and Boaire shore diving. My original has disappeared. As mentioned in the 10 Things video that Roxanne shared above, keeping your hands free by clipping your fins and even your mask to you rig on entries and exits can make life much easier...

    Alright, I "might" have overdone the workout for the fused ankle in just sneakers yesterday... I'm back into hiking boots and hobbling badly today, but I still proved that I can get away with a bit more abuse than before the surgery. ...and even hobbling, the pup and I got in >2.5 miles today...

    Get in your best shape for Bonaire Shore Diving

    Pepper and I have gotten in between 2 and 3 miles every day this week. Today I actually tried trekking in just sneakers, rather than my leather hiking boots. I am paying for this tonight, because we covered a lot of rough ground on deer trails, but the leg held up ( while every other hip, knee...

    For Sale Sealife SportDiver housing

    Can I ask why you are selling the case? Asking because I saw one last week, diving on Fiji, and am searching for feedback and reviews from real world users.

    Get in your best shape for Bonaire Shore Diving

    I am down @6# from Fiji. We left there a week ago now. Dropping from Three hearty meals a day at Volivoli ( which has a very good chef), back to my 1 meal, and walking the pup every day, has helped. In my experience, though, the first few # dropped after a "vacation weight gain" usually happens...
