Richard, I found the book they were trying to sell you and it doesn't say anything about the Rock! Hmmmmm
Find the Book....and you might find the rock!
Find the Rock....and heck with the book.

Terry, in the fifth (early 2007) edition of BSDME The Rock is on page 57, with an excellent description on how to get there. I'm pretty sure it's in earlier versions as well. Either you got the wrong book or you can't/won't read. Why do you insist on shouting when you're so obviously wrong? Don't forget your quick negative "review" can hurt the good, honest work of a fellow BT-er.

Its in the book Terry - thats how I found it. You might want to consider skipping it. Its not all that great of a site.

Gotta agree, I've got the 5th addition of BSDME right here and the Rock is definitely in it. Having dived (dove??) it with the author, I must disagree with Marcus, I loved it got some great photos of things I didn't see at any other site. A few bigger critters as well :-)

Can't wait to dive it again in oh... about 8 days!

I was kidding Becky. Just up to my evil ways trying to limit the diver traffic at the Rock. Exercise in futility, I know. Actually, its in my top three. Will be doing a solo dive there in April in fact.

Don't get all flustered folks...that's what you told me a while back. Richard is my dive buddy and we are entitled to joke around.
Have fun! TA

By the way, can anyone answer Richards question?

Who is Richard? I can't see him here.

Terry, you were not having fun with Richard, you were simply discrediting Susan's book, and with no good reason, as I and others pointed out. You can't just do that, say it was a joke, and walk away from it. Susan does an extremely good job, keeps the book up to date, and then there you are, lying about the contents and saying "Heck with the book". It's not funny, it's not right, and you know it.

Alex, well put.

Terry, there are a lot of people on this board who know Susan (and some that know of her), and know the type of person she is, and the quality of the BSDME Guide. So as Alex has said, to discredit it, even in jest, is not funny PERIOD.

And I also do not see Richard here, maybe you should gest with him on the same threads.

Kids kids......"don't make me come in that back seat!!!"
"The Rock" is presented quite well on page 57 of my classic 2002 Jessie Armacost Bonaire Diving Made Easy....which is in vintage polar stained quality but kept in a place where I find it mucho pronto
Looking forward to adding a new version from a new author but I'll always treasure my original Armacost.
