I was exaggerating, but even going in just one or two blocks you will often see very few gringos despite the hordes of them on the main tourist drag. Still a tourist area but the prices of things are going to be much cheaper. ~Jess

You shouldn't have any trouble finding Cuban cigars but there might also be some cheaper non cuban cigars being sold as cuban. Im not a big cigar fan so I can't tell you where to buy them but personally I would never buy anything on the main touristy strip there. Walk two blocks east and you...

Not certain when I will take it but plan on it at some point and would love to have some like minded people to dive with. You have any time to dive during the week or are you purely weekend diver? ~Jess

Thanks for the replies. I ended up getting a job for 2 weeks not long after posting that so this week and next aren't going to happen. Hopefully after that I will get some time and can actually go diving. I am mainly looking for shore dives at the moment because im broke. Have all my own gear so...

Anyone up for some diving this week? I am in Santa Monica but don't mind driving a little ways. Done the Yucatan and LOTS of Texas lake diving but new to the southern California coast so I am looking for divers who know where to go. ~Jess

You probably can, just call up some of the shops that sign people up. You could always stay in Austin and get some good live music in while your at it. ~Jess

I am going to finally be taking this class on the 13th and 14th. Anyone else gonna be there? ~Jess

A couple of years ago I was walking down south 1st street when I decided to stop in a little shop there being run out of an old house. On my way out I crossed through the yard which was apparently seriously infested with fire ants. My pants and even my shirt were covered so I stripped down to my...

I know yall are all feeling all touchy feely and shary and stuff but just for the record while I get that not everyone was lucky enough to be born in Texas there are some admissions here that might be worthy of a deportation ;-) ~Jess

I would have to add a number 4. Renounced all other citizenship I know it seems crazy but every once in a while someone loses it and decides to say consider themself a newyorker. In order to be a true native Texan you have to meet all 4. Number 4 is required to be any kind of Texan but you...

Many fire ants aren't native and like most other non native Texans should be killed whenever the chance arises ;-) I have heard of many things from pouring coffee or boiling water on a mound to peeing on a mound being successful at at least getting them to abandon the mound. I even found one...

If you didn't think there was any worthwhile shore diving in the keys then there definitely isn't any shore diving in Texas for you. Get on a boat and go out to the rigs or the flower gardens. ~Jess

I guess I should meet up with you. Want to go diving sometime soon? ~Jess

Whats the water temperature likely to be?

If things don't work out with K-Valve for reasons other than safety concerns I might be willing to help out with a short refresher and some dives if you are indeed physically and mentally up to it. I am an instructor. Doing it all the same day is possible but would of course depend on a lot of...

I might be up for something during the day but I am having a birthday party for myself starting at 6pm so can't do late. ~Jess

Actually I would say your buoyancy control isn't half bad. I have seen MUCH worse. Sadly even inside of caverns..... I once saw a guide literally holding 3 divers down throughout an entire dive in one of the cenotes in Mexico because if he let go they would go crashing into the ceiling. Why he...

Have you tried one on? I have to say the seams are all very well though out as they fit extremely well. They are also very well put together and most importantly they make you look like a superhero! For the ladies that is a definite plus. ~Jess

Well I don't have any rum but have 3 bottles of tequilla I think that says a lot :-) Yo ho ho and a bottle of tequila! ~Jess

How about this. You figure out where the rum is. We commandeer a boat and raise the jolly roger. We use it to pick up our shirts and snag the rum somewhere in the process. Then we pillage the wrecks of wreck alley for some pirate booty and raid some boats for some fine lasses. So when do the...
