Get real, hh! You were IGNORED the first time, for your pointless
drivel. So, you have to repeat the SAME drivel?

> "Bump"

Tell you what, after you repeat the same stupid post another half
dozen times or so, I 'll fill in the blanks for you.

Meanwhile why don't YOU start counting the TOTAL number of
times you have dived in Little Cayman, the different dive sites,
and the number times you have dived in each site, then we'll
talk more.

To help you out:

These are the Little Cayman dive sites and the number of dives Hugh
Huntzinger had dived up to now:

Dive Site Number of DIves
Randy's Gazebo
Nancy's Cup of Tea
Three Fathom Wall
Eagle Ray Roundup
Lea Lea's Lookout
Joy's Joy
etc.

I ignore pointless posts by the like of you ALL the time. YOu have
the audacity to think that just because YOU have requested it,
that anyone has to answer your drivel.

You are even a BIGGER FOOL than I had ever thought. Permanent
Grudge is one thing. But you don't have to be a Damned Fool
like yourself to hold a permanent grudge against me.

Get it?

Now apply your rule to MY condition that you'll fulfill your request --
that you fill out your LIFE TIME diving experience in Little Cayman,
as outlines above, listing ALL the sites and ALL the dives at each
site (by count).

Failing to do so, you can whine from now to your army bunk
freezes, and you are not going to get me to do anything simply
because YOU requested. ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I know that you were *trying* to ignore me. But being of weak
will, you couldn't help yourself and here you are.

Sorry, but the list *is* already filled out, since that was its point.

Didn't Bob also made a claim that he had "hundreds" of more dives just
in Little Cayman than I have dives lifetime worldwide? But gosh - -
Bob didn't make his usual inane $10,000 bet on that claim this time.
Golly gee, that's really odd. It seems that Bob's talk has become
phenominally cheap - - as cheap as his stretch polyester jumpsuits

I'm happy to provide you that data, Bob, but you will have to pay for
it:

my fee is CI$100 per dive site, and it is a package deal in that you
(Bob Ling) must pay that rate and buy all of the sites I've dived on
both Little Cayman as well as Cayman Brac:

I'm sure that Greg Mossman will agree to be the lawyer to hold the
funds (sufficient for full payment) in escrow for Bob's payment; Bob
will pay an additional 20% fee for Greg's services; Bob must send Greg
the down payment (I suggest US$10,000) to Greg to put in escrow prior
to Hugh being obligated to deliver any data; if Hugh fails to deliver,
Hugh owes Bob nothing and Bob gets Bob's deposit refunded minus Greg's
fee(s); Greg will be the sole arbiter for determining if Hugh's claims
are true and to resolve all other ambiguities or concerns regarding
loopholes or whatever else that needs to determined; Bob has until 1
June 06 to accept Hugh's terms and until 1 July 06 to have Bob's funds
in place with Greg.

Unlike Bob, I'm not cheap.

Actions speak louder than words...and here you are ("Dance Puppet
Dance!")

As I said above, I am happy to so, under the contractural conditions
that I have specified. As such, I have been clearly responsive to your
request and the action is back in your court...its called "Pay to
Play", Bob.

WHen I spoke with them at a dive show they told us that they were
doing LC weather permitting.

Just spoke to Karen at Nekton re 20 person limit. Anyone over 20 on
the Rorqual gets put on a day boat to do bloddy wall.

Good point.

FWIW, this will probably infuriate the protectionists who tried to keep
them out entirely (by occupying a second one of "their" moorings), but
the Rules do allow operations to put more than one boat per day in the
Marine Park...I think the limit's 3 or 4?
