Dove the east side today with Bas. First time I've been out with him. The guy is amazing--said he's done 2,000 guided dives on the east side--I guess we were 2001. He drew a map on the sand of the reefs, currents, wind, very detailed. I dove for 92 minutes with my wife and son.Saw some huge turtles, two eagle rays, hugh school of tarpins, octopus, a lot of "rare" fish that he pointed out to us. The scorpion fish over there are much more colorful and and have more frilly parts--not the coolest description,"frilly" but gets the idea across.

But fun... I hope to be able to post pic's afterwards...

Skating is not something I do appriciate. The only 2 types of ice I like are:
1) in my drink;
2) to dive under.

Martin:

I used to ice skate but anymore the ONLY ice I want to deal with is the one in my drink. You can have the ice diving.

There - finally hit my 300th post!
