That point is moot and that's why I can't really relate to it.

It's not a question of curtailment.  While our recent cruising
seemed to have curtailed our diving, but it was curtailed only
in quantity.   A single dive in Moorea or Nuku Hiva is easily
worth a dozen dives in Cozumel.  Losing one's ability to dive
is infinitely far away from curtailing one's dives.

Thanks for your kind thoughts.  But snorkeling is to diving 
is not even as enjoyable as watching a movie on snorkelers.
I seriously doubt that will be her, or our, substitute.

C'est la vie.
