The problem is that all the liveaboard of Stardancer are fully booked
both in Jan and in Feb and my travel agency is working hardly for
finding a place for me.

Actually it happened in Wakatobi and I reached 225 fsw )))

That being the case, let your travel agent know that the REAL Confucio
aka Confucius whom you had your picture taken with on the edge of
a lake, MAY be interested in the same.

That's a DIFFERENT dive trip of yours. I've never read that report.
The one I referred to was your report in Scuba-L in which you
were telling a story (part lie, part truth), because you claimed later
that what you said about carving your name on sponses and corals
were your lies. And THEN, being questioned about your
lying on the downcurrent, your posted pics of your hand and your
Uwatec computer showing the max depth of 175 fsw.

That was probably 8 or 10 years ago. You MAY still have those
pictures. With Nick taking Scuba-L to some underground
dungeon for his practice of dominitrix, I don't have access to
search that group anymore for the archives.

225 fsw was the depth I went on the Cos99NEDfest in which I
arranged a special Maracaibo dive for those wanting to dive
BELOW 150 fsw. Eight people (including myself) signed up
for that dive. The sea was miserably rough and the DM and
boat captain both screwed up, and we wound up spending
10 minutes below 100 fsw LOOKING for the ledge of the drop
off, which was at 190 fsw. when we got there.

I stayed below everyone, just in case I was needed to rescue
some narc'ed diver. It turned out that only Ray Jones and I
went below 200 fsw, and when I said in a post that I was below
everyone he said "Bob, I was down to 213 fsw", and replied by
saying I knew, because I was "about 15 feet below you."

I've only done a few dives (all planned) below that. The deepest
one was planned at 250 fsw at the Cedral Wall in Cozumel,
with DM Jaime who had done hundreds of dives below 300
when he was working as a black coral diver. On that dive,
Jaime's depth gauge needed went completely around the 0
point, and he had no idea how deep he was when we went
past 250 fsw. That was also the dive where I found out
the HyperAqualand watch DOES have a max depth capacity
of 259 fsw, because it stayed at that depth below. ) So,
by the time I reached Jaime to signal him to go up, I estimated
from the plot of our profile, extrapolating from the sharp V with
a slight flat bottom \_/ that we went to 290 fsw.
