I hope that you do try the caves of north and central fla, very good diving for the qualified. Please do keep coming to Fla, we need the income of the ppl that come to visit and take in the sights. And as far as me traveling, I do enough of it to hold me over once a month. any where from a delivery to this Islands, Mex, East Coast, and the great mistakes (nope haven't done the Big P yet, but maybe one day).. >My guess is that you are about the same as me in that regard. >However it seems that there are some few from Florida (NOT MOST) that >belittle our divers and diving without seeing it first hand. Nope, only belittle when the belitting is due. >My guess is FEAR has a lot to do with it. FEAR has nothing to do with it. Stupid BS about diving a dive just because ppl are getting hurt on a dive has alot to do with it!! >After all, the water is cold; the visibility is limited; and the lobsters have claws. Yep, Water is ICE cold, Visiz sucks, and they do have some claws!! But have you ever danced with the stone crab?

It's just unfortunate that they feel the need to run >their mouths about the diving they are either unwilling to try or >are incapable of doing, and the divers who do it! > > Ted Green > Ted, Been there done it and HATED IT!!!! 55 to 58 degrees is cool enough for me. I am sure that you all have your difficult dives the same as we do, but don't throw in our face that it is sssssoooooooo hard. Hell all type of diving is hard.. 7 ft of water can kick butt at times if you let it.. But you see, you just made a great point, You do have to know your limitations, and that is what is getting ppl killed, they have NO clue as to what they are doing. Shall I say more about that??
