I just read through this and I was laughing so hard. Poor Joe!

I just found out I won 7 million Euros in a lottery I never entered. I can't tell a soul about it until the money is in my hot little hand. Rats! I just blew it! Just when I had the means within my grasp to quit my job and do an around-the-world dive tour!

In the end, the number of dives a person has is only a very imperfect indication of their diving prowess. Right after my OW cert, I did a dive and ended up being assigned a buddy who bragged all the way to the dive site about how many dives he had (way over 100 wreck dives alone). This guy was...

Whatever the intention of starting this thread (and it doesn't sound particularly tongue-in-cheek), I am getting a definite sentiment from several who have responded to this thread: If we don't have sufficient experience (how much is sufficient? 200 dives? 500? 1000?), we're welcome to lurk and...

Tee hee. Funny!

Ha ha. At least my posts don't outnumber my dives. Does that give me some kind of special status?

No. Please explain what you are talking about. Thanks!

Spidey posted a little more about the Blackbeard cruise here: http://www.scubaboard.com/showpost.php?p=612903&postcount=28

I'd like to hear about the Blackbeards trip, too. I've considered going on one several times. The shark thing kind of puts me off. Not scared, just don't like the idea of feeding them. But that's another thread.... So do tell us your story, oK?

I decided to try the "Skin Store's" money back guarantee, and got a tube of Striavectin. It's supposed to erase those fine lines around the eyes, sun damage, etc. I've been applying it to one side of my face and not the other. Since I don't have a lot of damage, it's hard to compare, but it...

It is my imagination, or is there a pattern to those who find this the funniest? Is it Men.... Unhappily married or perhaps with an acrid memory of an unhappy relationship? Just wondering. Now, maybe we could rework the joke and get Mr. Wilkins to be the lobster trap bar none...

Since I'm a single diver, I often have to scrounge for buddies. I usually get whatever is left over. Sometimes it's a really great bud, but usually a dud or worse. I've had a few experiences with dive buddies from hell. That got me to thinking about my own dive-buddy skills. I don't want to...

Welcome to the board! Have you been to Cozumel before? Do you dive in other places, as well? Enjoy your trips! NudiLover

Lucky you. One of these days I'll be out there, too. But if you ever want to save pennies, Apo Reef is pretty spectacular. Let us all know what you choose! NudiLover

Hey! Welcome! Who knows; maybe we'll cross paths sometime. I'm still a warm-water wimp. Even with all the enthusiasts on the SB, I haven't felt a call to venture into the colder climes. I'll be interested to see how it goes for you. Maybe you'll convince me! NudiLover

Sorry about all the ice, Darryl. Do you do any skiing or ice skating up there? Welcome to the board. I'm a newbie, too; it's a great place to be. NL

Welcome, DesertFish. I'm sorry, I'm not Dutch, but I've been to Holland many times. Does that count? :-P Diving is a fantastic sport. I hope you can find just the right instructor to make it work for you.

Well, NetDoc got me the coolest nudi. It is the exact one I saw on my last dive. It was about 7" long! This is a great place! Thanks for the nice welcome! NudiLover

By the way, I chose that clam as my avatar, cuz I couldn't find a nudibranch. I really like those little guys! Also enjoy experiencing the ocean w/o too much between, but not too many place u can do that without drawing attention! Not my purpose. Just love the feel of the waves. Hope to...
