Tribs....I would LOVE to join you in Bonaire....but the chances of that are ALOT slimmer than the chances of getting to Florida...I could use checking out Grad Schools with Amanda as an "excuse" to go to Florida if we had the time and the $$$.....hey but who knows.....

Well, we can snowboard until we get kicked off of the salt piles anyway Freddie, ya coming down, we can tell my boy's father that you are at a candle convention (heck Sweetie, we could even burn some candles

Meryl - Venice Beach ( the Gulf of Mexico ) is half way between Fort Myers and Tampa. It's a very shallow play on the bottom and fan the sand kind of dive.
|
By Linda * (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1009) on Sunday, April 27, 2008 - 7:44 am: |
Meryl, I love to dive both coasts of Florida. The Gulf coast is shallow - to get depth you need to motor out quite away (20+ miles), but there are some fun & interesting artifical reefs up in my area (Clearwater, Palm Harbor, Dunedin). I love the Veterans reef 10? miles off of Honeymoon Island.

We were in Ft. Lauderdale last Feb. My Aunt and cousin live just north. We stayed at the Yankee Clipper?

By Meryl Virga (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #5350) on Sunday, April 27, 2008 - 2:27 pm: |
Now tell me about the gators!
|
By Linda * (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1013) on Sunday, April 27, 2008 - 2:42 pm: |
Well, I will swim in the ocean, but won't set foot in fresh water south of the Dixie line. Gators scare me more than any shark could - unless the shark was a big one coming at me with it's mouth wide open.
|
By Timmmy - Bonaire Bound in September (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #5305) on Sunday, April 27, 2008 - 2:56 pm: |
I dove with gators as a teenager in golf course lakes while collecting white dimpled gold - they were much more friendly way back then.
|
By Meryl Virga (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #5351) on Sunday, April 27, 2008 - 3:04 pm: |
you are a brave brave guy Timmy! I'm with Linda* on the shark vs. gator issue!
|
By Timmmy - Bonaire Bound in September (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #5306) on Sunday, April 27, 2008 - 4:05 pm: |
Gators live in fresh or brackish water - Salt water crocs are very rare (and small) in Florida unlike their nasty cousins Down Under.
|
By Timmmy - Bonaire Bound in September (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #5307) on Sunday, April 27, 2008 - 4:07 pm: |
I would dive with sharks over Alligators any day !

Kathy, I want to go next weekend, too. But I won't get my regs back till May 15th. The dive shops service department has been slammed, as they normally are in the spring.

I think Christine is going to try to come down (scubabanker). I don't think Vira is gonna make it. Airfare just from there to here is crazy high. Driving would be very difficult.
|
By Linda ** (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1253) on Friday, May 23, 2008 - 10:23 am: |
