Not exactly. I attempted it my last time in Bonaire, but that was one of
the 2 times in my life ear problems prohibited me from diving. I couldn't
get below 25-30 feet no matter what I tried. Someday. My friends enjoyed
the dive :(

We were blown out by weather the time I tried to go.

Of course, the only catch to all of this is that officially, by
Bonaire's rules, the Windjammer's supposedly a closed dive site that no
one is supposed to dive on.

I've been saying the same thing about Coz for years - nobody believes me
either - divers dive there anyway.

I don't see why. I've dived there several times and never used nor needed
them.

Except your posting history shows a steady return here.

Year after year.

After year.

Wonder why that is....?

But you feel the Freudian -requirement- to validate yourself to us.

Hmmmm.

Must have been an awwwwwful asswhipping that ran you along.

Like most endeavors in life, you only get out of this newsgroup what you
put into it.

I've gone from about 50 dives here to over a 1000 (since late '97).

I've learned my dive style here, designed and built my extensive and
carefully considered kit piece by piece, made lifelong
friends, met over 80 newsgroup members in person from 4 different countries,
in 11 states now, been on at least 100
group dives.

No doubt this group has saved my life a time or two.

Lost a friend or two, with some clouds on the horizon.

Now there's Skippy Elliot Bowman.

Who's Failed to Glean:

"Any Useful Information"

From Rec.scuba.

In -ten- -years-.

Yup.

I'd say that about covers it.

Right.

Even if you don't, everybody else will see what a fuckin -Dill~Hole- you
are, anyway (thanks, Ade).
