Re: Travel to Roatan

The last time we went to Roatan, it was only $150 more to buy first class tickets. It was worth it! The redeye flight and long layover in Miami was made better by the excellent American lounge there - showers, food, alcohol, nap areas. Every penny counts, but sometimes a splurge is worth it. Bill is...

Re: Sunnyside Beach and Sund Rock -- NAUI AOW Days 1 and 2

Sounds like a great class!

I've had buddies complain because I spin around a lot, but I LOVE helicopter kicks. Back kicks too! They take some time to master, but are an excellent, useful skill.

Kudos to you both!

Re: Bonaire: Crab & Flounder Mystery

I once encountered a flounder cruising above the eel grass at the junk yard. It came right at my face, and nipped at the bolt snap dangling off my regulator. Always searching for food. Fish are funny!

Do any of you have a photo of structures like oil rigs or something similar, preferably crusted with life?
