Ask me again in June. 🙂 Bonaire here I come. After June, any fellow divers that happen to make it to the best shore diving in the world can feel free to look me up for a game of chess while off-gassing.

"Off-gasing"?! Didn't they tell you not to drink the water down there?

Come on. I left that word in there, knowing full-well that somebody was going to come up with a snappy remark. And that is the best you can do? I expected better.

Incidently, I'd rather drink the water there. Its sure seemed more pure than the chemical-polluted "purified" water they push through our pipes down here in florida.

I'm sort of an expat. I'd recommend the experience; it helps stop one identifying too strongly with irrelevant social groupings.

I totally concur. I've heard somewhere that nationalism is an illness that may be cured travelling.
