Eh I thought of one ...



It's no mako, but then again I wouldn't venture so close to one to take a picture

You got me there, Mr. Rider! I've only been diving twice, and never pursued a certification. It really is an awesome experience, though, and I am eager to go again.

It does have one disadvantage, however - you can't stretch out in the sun while drinking a cold one when doing it.

True ... but diving is only an hour max per dive. Plenty of time to sit on the boat ride back or beach while drinking a cold one ... so long as you don't drink so much that you get decompression sickness

Why do I get the feeling that you may actually be speaking from experience on this?

Those are bragging rights I don't intend to acheive. As tempting as it is to get unbelievably blizted in a tropical paradise before a dive, I don't particularly want to spend any time in a hyperbaric chamber .

Yeah, well - it's good to be smart and responsible!

But I was hoping to hear some war stories about how you fought off a barracuda with your bare hands while blitzed on Margarita's and Tequilla Sunrise's. Oh well, one can still dream.

I hugged a sting ray and a nurse shark ... and I stuck my fin out at an eel trying to goad him into biting it. A sane person can argue that I was blitzed .

Here is the little bugger too:



Well maybe "little" isn't the appropriate adjective. He was 4-5ft long. Unfortunately he wasn't feeling very aggressive
