I posted a thread about big tank availability in the Bonaire forum and some friendly banter about the physical "work" involved in shore diving vs boat diving got me dreaming a little about the easiest diving imagineable, so I thought y'all might want to fantasize a bit with the premise:

"The Perfect Dive"

Wake up in your over - water bungalow thats built right over a 100 ft lush reef wall with caves, soft coral, thirty species of nudibranchs, and inquisitve Eagles and Mantas all over the place (did I mention impossible?).

Roll out of bed and land in your BC, all hooked up, ready to go with a titanium 200 cubic foot tank, while your lovely assistant attaches the coffee bag to you BC, opens the trap doors and you simply put in your reg and descend through 88 degree water with 250 foot visibility, escorted on your way down by dolphins and a whaleshark or two . . .

Add as you see fit . . .
 
As you descend a Great white appears for a "fly by"

And the dolphins circle you in protection, then let you pet them as your way of saying "thanks" and they purr. . .
 
Who's the lovely assistant going to be?

You're significant other, preferably - I would like to see this topic rated G, but it does not mean you can't fantasize . . .

And for all the "you're gonna die!" folks out there, lets assume that the increased effect of the caffiene in the coffee at depth will only make you sharper and more alert while the narcosis gives you a wonderful non-dangerous high. And that narcosis will occur at twenty feet on this dive.

Did I mention that the nudibranchs are over a foot long with all the colors of the rainbow (ok, I guess they are already), and they have cerata that you can suck non-toxic rum punch out of? And the barrel sponges . . . oh yeah. They are full of beer.
 
. . . and as you approach the wall, you see the opening of what is clearly an extensive cave system, so you pull out your 800 foot reel . . .
 
....and just before you enter the cave, you reach over to the wall mounted thermostat at the entrance...carefully adjusting the cave water to the optimum temperature, then proceeding to turn on the giant dimmer switch to customize the amount of light inside the cave.......
