Here's something from rec.scuba.locations to STIR UP this pot a bit, since I'm tired of hearing all that mouth-dancing by one who has never dived with a drysuit, never been cave certified, and post dozens of posts about drysuit-diving and cave-diving, and culminating in comparing HIMSELF with Gmiiii and JimG! :-) That is of course our resident expert on ALL diving matters -- Lee Bell himself. Now I am beginning to hear all kind of noises about recreational ICE DIVING from folks who probably had never been certified as an ice-diver, and possibly never done an ice-dive, mouthing off on ice diving -- it's pretty safe to single out Christian as one these. :-))) I think there are other, besides Lee and Christian, of course. :-)))))))))))))))) So, to give a topic that some of you DO KNOW something about ... to keep busy on your keyboards ... http://www.cyber-diver.com/cdbest.html had this to say about #> 2003 WORLD WORST 10 ECO DIVING #> We rated the worst eco dive destinations based on the condition #> of marine habitats and government policies related to marine #> habitat conservation. #> Australia #> Florida This is NOT to say that I necessarily agree with many of their conclusions of "World's Top 10" best or worst (in fact, I think they are DFs and FOS in many of their assertions) ........ BUT since I never talk about subject I DON'T KNOW about :-)(unlike many posters on this list who are the LOUDEST on subjects they know not about :-)))), I can't comment on the above rating, claiming ignorance about ECO diving in Aus or Florida. I just wanna hear who can tell us what about wot I dunno. I am enjoying my few minutes of free time at the EWR airport waiting to fly out to Lost Wages ... ElPezNeuvo.
