    Shark

    Truth is you can't really do anything. Hug the reef if there is one. In open water, if the shark wants you, you can't stop it. I had to bump 2 aggressive reef sharks in Belize, they had obviously been fed by some of the dive ops, when they came at me it was very quick and the best I could do...

    Diving Turneffe Atoll vs local Ambergris Dives

    The Elbow is the 2nd most famous dive in Belize, and definitely the real deal compared to their number 1 dive site. I've only dived at Turneffe, but from what I understand the diving blows around AC. It's a long boat ride, don't know if I'd do it, we stayed at Turneffe so our boat rides were 5...

    Isla Mujeres for a month

    If you're looking for a referral, I've dived with 3 different outfits there over the years and by far Squalo Divers was by far the best. Its been a couple of years since I've dived with them, and they have grown since then, but if they are still like they were before I'd dive with them again...

    That would make a hell of a BMX bike track.

    Thinking of Going to Bonaire!

    Have stayed at the Plaza which is AI, still ate out half the nights there and most lunches. AI is not really a Bonaire thing. Fun things to do beside diving are a bit scares. It's called the divers island for a reason, you go there to dive, dive some more, and then dive some more again. If you...

    On the advantages of a leaking mask

    Where is this that you are diving where there are these items you refer to as girls?

    Worst of Cozumel.

    Wow, those guys are my favorite dive shop!!! (actually never heard of them) Forgetting the dive master is so bad it's actually comical.

    Isla Mujeres for a month

    They are all small private dive shops there, so I think you simply need to contact some and approach them with your proposal. I'm guessing to make it appealing you should offer to pre-purchase a certain amount of dives in advance, requesting a discount for pre-payment and a bulk purchase. I'm...

    That's all useless without saying who it was.

    On the advantages of a leaking mask

    Can't argue if you find it disgusting, that's up to you. But as for why spit in a mask? it's free it's always with me it's fast it always works My mask is spit and cleaned and I'm sitting their waiting, in the time it takes somebody just to find their defog and begin taking the top off, not to...

    Worse experience with Oceanic support (Geo 2.0)

    You traded a Geo for a Suunto? Will be interesting to read your next customer service nightmare story when you find out how much it will cost and how long it will take to have a dealer replace the battery in your Suunto.

    Metric versus Imperial System for Diving?

    It depends on what you mean by "who cares about the rest of the world?" Obviously being well documented as the most generous country on the planet when it comes to donations and help in times of emergencies in foreign countries the US cares quite a bit about the rest of the world. In regard to...

    On the advantages of a leaking mask

    Since it's possible to dive with a mask that doesn't fog and it's possible to dive with a mask that doesn't leak, it's not acceptable. Masks that fog are dirty and masks that leak don't fit your particular face, both can be solved.

    Stripping wrecks

    Prevalent attitude. The really nice part about it, is all the historical things he's taken will end up thrown out or in a garage sale someday after he dies, forever lost, forever gone from the wreck for anyone else to enjoy. You'll get all the typical replies about how better for someone to...

    Benito Juarez Park renovation...

    As long as you can still buy authentic Cuban cigars in the Plaza that are made in South America, and authentic Mayan and Mexican souvenirs that were made in China, I think the authenticity of the plaza will still remain.

    Metric versus Imperial System for Diving?

    Well first off, I'm not opposed, I could careless. All of you seem to be very concerned with America and making us use the metric system, the vast majority of Americans could give a rats ass about it. As for being easier is the only answer to the question of why, obviously the ease of the metric...

    Metric versus Imperial System for Diving?

    You seem to miss the point again, that Americans especially in the academic and scientific communities can use both systems. I don;t know of any scientist who can't figure out the metric system, again for about the 10 time, it's not rocket science.

    Metric versus Imperial System for Diving?

    Didn't you just describe the American experience also? For American's the metric system is mostly a humorous footnote, unless they travel to an effected area at which point it becomes a minor inconvenience, other than that, they really don't care.

    Metric versus Imperial System for Diving?

    Sorry , I just don't get your problem, what difference is accuracy whether it's measured to 1/64th or .397? How do the units of measure matter, they are just units of measure? I can see you having 'translation' problems if you're talking metric all the time and having to convert it back and...
