    Who has had something stolen in Bonaire

    I have been there 5 times and never had an issue. I always keep the truck/car unlocked and windows down and leave nothing out that is worth anything to me.

    cold blooded diver- what wetsuit addition?

    I just got the DUI 30/30 and will never dive wet again. It is more comfortable, you come up ans are dry....so the SI are very nice....and no smelly wetsuit to pull off! Taking mine to Bonaire in December. When I am in Illinois I use my DUI 350 with the extream plus weezle....I used that...

    simple way to signal a distracted diver?

    where did he state that there was a runaway ascent? you sometimes go vertical to vent from your dry suit and in low viz that could cause for her not to be seen. 'Probably a better thing do would be to figure out why she had a run away ascent (scary). '

    Whats your favourite u.w. creature

    I had an awesome experience with dolphins when I was in Kona on the Aggressor. But honestly...even the fish in quarry I go to....which include catfish, bluegill, pike....can be quite entertaining and I have had some cool encounters. I guess that doesn't answer the question at all!

    Cats vs Dogs

    My kitties are very affectionate and I would have to say dog like. I had a dog when I had a big house and yard, not in my condo, I have my 2 cats that are brother and sister. They know their names, play games and very affectionate. I think it depends on your experiences with them...

    7 Mil in January... in Michigan?

    Yes...even in the warm stuff. After 5 dives a day for 5 or 6 days....i am usually sooooo tired. I think even in water temps of upper 70's and 80's your body core will lose heat and in turn tire you out. I don't want to miss any dives from being too tired or cold! Plus, putting on the damp...

    Just bought my first Drysuit, what do I do for socks?

    Kudo's to anything Weezle...they get my vote. Make sure whatever you buy has wicking properties. Although I tried using a Nike brand that had that...and it was for running....which was my mistake....helped to cool me off. Just thought i'd pass my mistake along.

    Arthritis and DCS

    I have often wonderd about that as well....or just the confusion of the two. I usually take note if I am having joint pain issues prior to diving....just to make sure I know that going in the water...i feel that way. I'll be curious what the Doc has to say......

    Your Favorite Shore Dives Please?

    Bonaire... load up your trunk with tanks and choose a site....pack a lunch or take a SI and stop at a resort or restaurant for a break. 5 dives a day......that is the life! It is the most peaceful and exciting thing I have ever done....that's why I keep going back and can't get enough.

    DMC question....

    I will be DM'ing....and I know I will go over expectations in detail with the instructor. It is nice to hear from people that have been in my shoes. The class consists of a couple, one being very comfortable in the water, the other one...not that comfortable.
