Yes, but only if you accept the responsibility of handing out all of
that abuse upon your countrymen

Sorry;

I had to do it.

*********************

You don't frighten us, English pig-dog! Go and boil your bottoms, son of a
silly person. I blow my nose on you, so-called Arthur-king, you and your
silly English K...kaniggets.

I don't want to talk to you, no more, you empty-headed animal, food trough
wiper. I fart in your general direction. You mother was a hamster and your
father smelt of elderberries.

Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time.

Ha ha! Hello! Smelly English K...niggets ... and Monsieur Arthur King, who
has the brain of a duck, you know.

We French persons outwit you a second time, perfidious English mousedropping
hoarders ... how you say: "Begorrah!"

How you English say: I one more time, mac, I unclog my nose towards you,
sons of a window-dresser, so, you think you could out-clever us French
fellows with your silly knees-bent creeping about advancing behaviour. I
wave my private parts at your aunties, you brightly-coloured, mealy-templed,
cranberry-smelling, electric donkey-bottom biters.

No chance, English bed-wetting types. We burst our pimples at you, and call
your door-opening request a silly thing. You tiny-brained wipers of other
people's bottoms!

Yes, depart a lot at this time, and cut the approaching any more or we fire
arrows into the tops of your heads and make castanets of your testicles
already.

And now remain gone, illegitimate-faced bugger-folk! And, if you think you
got a nasty time this taunting, you ain't heard nothing yet, dappy
k...niggets, and A. King Esquire.

You couldn't catch clap in a brothel, silly English K...niggets ...

W-e-l-l... given that I' a US citizen, let the abuse spread.
(Also an Australian - but that's irrelevant in the current
context.)

<ducks and runs>

BTW, the abuse I was expecting involved admitting that I'd
been a bit slow to recognise the extent of the benefits of
neutral buoyancy. But telling about my experience was the
only credible way to make the point.

It is. Its a stoopid dive. If I ever found myself there again, I'd spend
the time on the boat doing something more interesting ... like sleeping.

When Tina and I did that dive off the Aggressor, the most interesting
part was watching most of the other divers in the shallows doing the
"mandatory extended safety stop" at the end of the dive. Talk about lack
of buoyancy control ....

Amazing how many whale sharks can fit in that cavern. Too bad your
left your macro lens on or you could show him the pics.

It's 450 ft deep... There's got to be *something* interesting around there
to look at... Whether it is worth the boat ride out there is another
question... Especially if they limit you to only diving to 130 ft... Make
it a deco dive with double 120s and an AL80 stage and it might be worth
it... I really suspect that the issue becomes whether it is worth the boat
ride out there... If it was close to shore, it would be better... I guess
we'll have to wait until the next Ice Age so that it'll both be a bit
shallower plus closer to shore... <grin>

I hope that for you too! It's true it is not a long dive, nor is it a
pretty coral dive . . but the magnificence of the stalactites, the history
of the hole, both the geological and the diving history makes it a cool
dive. But for me, it is really about the sharks. "Again, Again, I want to
do it again!!!!!!!"

I'm still saying that everytime I come out of the water at the Blue Hole
dive.

All that said, I haven't gone out to the Blue Hole lately. I'm spoiled now
and won't go out on anything less than a Pro48.
