Wow! You've got me wanting to go on this cruise and I absolutely positively hate them! I get claustrophobia at the idea of them......and plus all those people compressed on one ship...has never really been my idea of fun. But still, the fact that you got me wanting to go on this...

:offtopic: Sorry for interrupting your thread..... Just wanted to ask about why they have that particular rule of making only one trip down the ramp. I've been to Catalina on those ferries, and it was nothing short of a nightmare trying to deal with my dive bag and tank. It seems so...

That is the most difficult skill to master. I would love to get there someday. I remember once in my trip last December on my 8th dive, when I was going forward, and decided just to try to stay motionless for few seconds even though I usually end up falling down. But for once I was actually...

Ditto on that! Even as adults, they’re still pretty funny. I just adore them. Your kitten is really cute!!!!!!!!! Why don’t you name him either Hobbes or Calvin? :D Got that idea from your signature line. Figured, if you liked the cartoon strip enough to quote from it, you might...

I loved that floating away feeling! Unfortunately, I never got it again after my first week in Hawaii several years ago when I snorkeled for the first time ever. It was so nice, night after night to have that feeling. I was really looking forward to having that feeling back when I...

The food on this thread sounds so good! I'm getting hungry just reading it!!!! Because of the discussion of the coffee as well, I'm curious if anyone has tried Kopi Luwak? It's the most expensive coffee in the world and it's from Indonesia. Most people don't realize that it's a byproduct of...

That's such a sweet photo!!!! Love it. And your pink nudi is pretty cool!

I did read the part where you say that she does equalize before the beginning of the descent. However, I think the key sentence is "before beginning the descent". I'm no expert, but for me I usually equalize for like at least five minutes before even jumping into the water. A whole lot of...

If you think Tolstoy is bad......just try Ulysess by James Joyce. It's so much fun!!!!!!!!! :54: Ok, if you ever get your hands on that book, you'll see what I mean. You'll be lucky to have made it past the first page. :D To those who have read the entire book, I bow down to you guys...

Well, I rarely watch movies. And even if it's a movie that's a favorite, I don't usually watch it beyond more than once. Here are some from the top off my head, because my memory is simply awful. And, I can just barely remember the storylines.....so, take it as you will. 1. Ever After - This...

That would explain why I have so much trouble with mine. I really have to pull at them.......and it bugs me to no end! I think I'm going to buy it one size larger......sighs. What a waste of money down the drain because of my lack of foresight for not understanding the situation right off the...

I don’t think it’s abnormal….I hope not! :D Ok, it’s a wee bit strange to have your entire world reframed via preoccupation of scuba diving, but……..there’s something so lovely about it as well, isn’t it? That’s what I think anyway. The only thing about having your world “reframed” is...

Before ScubaBoard, I’ve never even heard of Bonaire, Yap, and Palau, and more that I’m sure I’ll learn in future. (Ok, so sue me, my geography is god-awful!). Also Cabilao, thanks to the photographers in the photography section. You know the saying, “a little knowledge is a dangerous thing”...

Awwww, that's so sweet! Amazing what exists under our ocean.

Exactly!!!!!!!! :D

Lol. To each his own. I didn't notice this comment until now. You're so right! That really bothers me a lot about assuming that because it's socially acceptable within a culture doesn't mean everyone likes them. It's way too easy to brush people with broad strokes. Sorry, justlessa, didn't...

I have the same kind of straps as these, but under a different brand name that I've never been able to find again. And I got it for 40 bucks. While I do love them over my buckles that were a total pain in the neck to put on and take off, the only problem that I have with my straps is that I...

Yep. It's called casu marzu. Here's an article on it. It's actually illegal there. I remember reading about it a while back. The people would hold sort of "underground dinners" when feasting on the cheese. Least that's what I remember. JustLeesa, your newer photos are just gross! I mean...

Interesting.... Did you know that our FDA has classified leeches and maggots as "medical devices"? They're the first live animals to have earned such distinction. So, seems a lot of things are done in the name of medicine. As for frogs legs......well, French people love them too! And snails...

This is a lovely shot. I love the water glistening off from it. Lol! Good idea on not hugging him. :D
