    Just carry some condom tongs with you!



    Works on suits without pee valves, install it before the dive, as you descend, the tong gently closes, and you won't have to pee.

    Yes, and unless you have open wounds on your hands, STDs will wash off.

    It's your computer. Sometimes it just stands there, and sometimes (like on my Droid), it runs like a bat out of heck.

    Whoever said money can't buy love never bought a puppy.

    My hands usually have open wounds on them. I currently have at least 3 cracks on my fingers from spending so much time in the water this weekend. Not that I'm complaining or anything...


    And as for Adam, I know him personally. He doesn't behave like he's above anyone else or have a bad attitude in any way whatsoever. He's not your typical "Hollywood" marine. He's a really nice guy and very down to earth. And he's a very dedicated marine. Thanks for your service, Adam. I'm glad to know you and have you as a student.

    I would rather set up a hidden camera, no legal issues as they are doing this outside, and post the vid of those repeat offenders here.

    More than likely all you would see is the buzzards doing it. I have witnessed it a few times.

    Hm, a good buzzard will do that.

    Yeah,not to mention every evening there is a hundred or more roosting there. They will also destroy anything you leave at the park overnight.

    Adam made a very simple request. Rob and Jim reinforced it (for good reason). Then it was made to be a joke. I met Adam this past weekend. I did not introduce myself. I wish that i would have. He made a very simple request that was simply a good request for all of us. I am not very surprised at the response. I have witnessed some very poor diving skills in caves. Adam is right, we should respect the ground around the cave like the cave itself. I have talked with people that dived JB when it was very pristine. I know accidents will happen in the cave, but I saw things there this weekend and on others that are inexcusable in any cave. I talked with my instructor and mentor and it seems to me that some believe it is ok to do things in JB "because everyone else has" as evidenced by the damage in the cave. There are some in the "community" that truly do not believe that we can lose privilages. It is so easy to make comments meant to "inflame" someone today on the Internet. These comments would not be made face to face. Adam did not attempt to incite violence, he merely was a man that asked someone to discuss something in person. Our society has lost the ability to communicate in person, or by voice for that matter. All that I ask, is that as a community that we come together and police ourselves. I saw the middle grounds and avalanche alley for teh first time this weekend and it was absolutely beautiful. I was awestruck. I can only imaging what the system looked like several years ago. I am sure there will be negative comments about my post, but if we do not "police" ourselves, then we will be "policed" and lose privilages. My name is Brian Hamilton, I, like Adam, am not inciting "violence" but I do welcome the opportunity to discuss this with anyone face to face in a respectful way.

    Respectfully,

    Brian Hamilton
