    Wetsuit, How Cold?

    Back a while I did 48F in a 7mm Farmer John. No more. I'm older, wiser and carry less personal insulation! I'll don the dry for anything under 60 now. I'm a wimp. There, Beat you to it!

    Hello and Hurricane Updates from Christi's house in Cozumel...

    I'll tell you what, next time I'm in Coz, it won't matter what sort of business she is in, be it diving, retail, resturant or whatever the desire strikes her (by the time I get there!), I will be a customer. What a fine example of a good and decent human being.

    Beware Diver Emporium online retail site!!

    Wow... Assuming the conversation is unedited, one can only hope someone as rude and crass as that would be out of business before the end of the year. FWIW... I checked the site briefly. Interestingly, clicking on the shopping cart button does not initiate a secure website. Even if the cart is...

    What's your winter sports after the SCUBA season is closed?

    Tahoe doesn't freeze ("only" down to about 38 or so), so if you want, you can ski one day and dive the next. Or ski in the am and dive in the pm. The reverse may not be advisable, since then you are essentially "flying" immediately after diving, since the lifts take you to about 10K feet.

    Computer virus: worm_msblast dam

    It's gone (not really, but it can't resurrect itself solo), but your vulnerability still exists to get re-infected until you patch or close some TCP ports.

    Belize - advice welcome

    Go to the Cayo district, but instead of only staying in Belize, hop the border and go to Tikal (http://www.belizex.com/tikal.htm) in Guatamala. The ruins are awesome and still jungle covered. Kind of like Chichen-itza, before it was cleared. Also ending that day in Flores...

    Avoiding Weight Re-Gain?

    Fat goes first since it is the body's storage system for energy. Only after all available easy energy is consumed does the body start metabolizing muscle. As for what comes back, that depends on a few factors: caloric intake, quantity and QUALITY of exercise (e.g., cardio or weights) come to...

    Underwater Current Magazine Scam??

    I've jumped forth and back (doesn't that make more sense than jumping "back and forth"? doesn't one go forth prior to going back? :06: But I digress.) between the printed subscription and the online only. The online only subscription is cheaper than the printed one, the caveat being the info...

    Crashed hard drive...

    If you have lots of data you want to save, save it all on the web. You can get a website for not much $$ anymore, and they maintain constant backups and the files will be available to you 24/7 anywhere in the world. FWIW.

    Too early for 2006 yet?

    I'm a member of DEMA, so I can get up to 6 passes for the show as a "perk" for membership. I'll have at least 3 extras next year... let the bidding begin - at free! :D I may not attend at all, so I may in fact have all 6 passes available. Keep in touch and I'll be happy to give them to...

    Too early for 2006 yet?

    DEMA can be good, but it is pricy. If you are not a member of DEMA, the booth space is over $21/sq ft, and the costs to move your stuff into the convention hall was very expensive if you had the mob, er, union move it in and out for you (61 cents a pound), and if you need lighting or anything...
