Martine, I think you should stop by and get me so I can help you care for your luggage. I don't dive, but I will snorkel overhead to keep you company!

That's a great idea Carol, and the reefcam in not so deep so you could help too by holding the feather duster :o)

Had to go and get an ECG done this morning for my racing heart. Hospital said it's ok, but does show as pounding away like the devil. If it isn't one thing it's another lately. Annie B.

You must love the outdoors, Terri! I prefer outdoor exercise to in , but there comes a time when the treadmill makes more sense. But then I'm older than you I suspect.

Don't you think the reefcam looks like an alien's eye ? Just reminds me the " Return of the Jedi " when C3PO and R2D2 are entering Jaba's cavern.

By James & Margarite Hix (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1688) on Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 10:39 am: |
You are so right, Martine! The Reefcam is a strange sight... How was that windjammer dive? Did you use air or trimix? I've heard it is quite deep. Was it dark down there?
|
By Terri Sterr (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #208) on Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 10:43 am: |
Margarite, we have done some really hairy shore diving in Bonaire. I aborted more than one dive because of a treacherous entrance.
|

WIsh I were there with you Carol!!

Annie, did the heart doctor give you any antibiotics to take before you go to the dentist?
|
By James & Margarite Hix (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1690) on Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 11:04 am: |
Terri, there are definitely a couple of spots that were really rough entrances and exits. I wanted to try though sooo... I use the fall in entrance technique, then you only have to get to about two feet of water and fall forward. And I usually end up falling on the way out; ditch the gear , swallow my pride and drag it to the truck piece by piece. Exhausting. I have sustained some incredible bruises, but no breaks so far. I will be assessing the situation more carefully from now on. I need my knees for other things an a daily basis.

By Annette Bursey (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #5808) on Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 11:08 am: |
No Carol. I forgot about tomorrow. The dentist phoned me to remind me after I had come home from the hospital. Why would they give me antibiotics then?? Annie B.

Terri, you could do nothing more than dive right there at the house reef at Habitat and it would be a different dive every day. Don't know why, but that is a very special spot. I will always ,always spend at least one day there. I want to dive there at night next time. It is so easy and so spectacular.

Those tarpons are a rush , aren't they? I'm just grateful to find a hobby that thrills me as much as diving does. I thought there was nothing left in life to really get me going, but diving does it!!! CD's has that really long line that goes out over the reef so it is easier to find your way back to the dock at night. ALso , if you dive to the right on your way out and on your way back you run into the Muchaca in 25 feet of water, you know that you have overshot your exit. Very easy.

By Cecil Berry (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #2646) on Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 11:47 am: |
Terri, try what we do up here on rough entrys and what Martine does. Carry your tank and BC into the water, use it like a cane from rock to rock. Once in two feet of water, put it on. Reverse the procedure when getting out. Much much easier and you don't have the tank weight pulling you over backwards, scambling over the coral in the surf is hard enough.
|
By Terri Sterr (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #212) on Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 11:56 am: |
Thanks Margarite for the info. I will think of you when night diving CDs.
|
By Annette Bursey (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #5810) on Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 11:58 am: |
Now that sounds like good advice Cecil. Wonder why no one else thought of that. Annie B.

Good morning all! Annie, I see you caught the divers...here's a little more of Chubby (who, by the way, Terri, only drinks the pure salt water of Bon - LOL) And it looks like Charlotte is busy today...
|
By James & Margarite Hix (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1693) on Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 12:24 pm: |
I use the smallest tank I can, too, Terri. But would only work for you if you(like myself) don't use much air. Also , I don't know that anyone could consider it "bitchy" to choose not to dive in a rough place. I would consider it smart diving. We have to know our limitations and our levels of comfort. You know when it "feels right" and when it just doesn't.
