Yes, but you're off message (as usual)...not talking about Cocos diving!

Talking about diving around Costa Rica (and nearby island).

Do you suffer from dyslexia? The curious want to know?

sorry, guessing won't do...we need facts!

How many charters are in play these days to dive mainland Costa Rica

I know the Solomons, had three trips there -- how many have you had?

And 13 trips for diving to Fiji... a great place to be in August (Austral winter).

Obviously so am I, which is why I brought up the expense and time of
traveling to Cocos as a reason why someone would stay on the mainland.

Do you suffer from retardation? Most people here can comprehend
English just fine. Obviously you have a disconnect somewhere.

I don't need facts. It's obvious to me.

So your three trips there mean there are more dive charters there than
in Costa Rica? Talk about retardation and disconnects, I guess I
answered my own question.

Figured you would mention Fiji somewhere in this thread. After all,
it's about Costa Rica.

But Fiji obviously isn't the subject here, it's Costa Rica. Obviously
you've never been to Costa Rica, as you're as ignorant about diving
there as you are about most places except for Fiji and the Solomons.

No, I haven't yet been to Costa Rica...but have had two trips to Honduras --
Roatan on "live-aboards"...dived the "Blue Hole" and all that. I've also dived a lot of
the Caribbean, from its outer fringe -- Tobago, Domenica, Guadaloupe, Martinique, St.
Lucia, and the other "Saint" next to it.....then swining back in a Westward arc of the
Caribbean...Cozumel, Grand Cayman,Cayman Brac, Little Cayman...but concurrently -- every
year from 1975 to 2000 I managed to dive somewhere in the Indo-Pacific regions of our
planet -- from the Philippines to the Seychelles, Mauritius, 3 trips to the Maldives, 2
trips to the Coral Sea by dive charter (GBR) that took me way out to remote Marion
reef...and the like, not to forget three trips to the Solomons, 5 trips to Vanuatu, 5
trips to PNG, 2 trips to Tonga, Samoa, Micronesia (two trips to Palau and one to
Truk...and much, more. Did I not mention the Red Sea -- sorry about that! And wait, I
forgot the dive charter of three weeks circuling the North, Middle and South islands of
the Galapagos!

If you can match that record -- I will tip my hat to you!
