Hey, Hairtrigger........yes, its an olive seasnake taken on the northern great barrier reef in Australia. I took a small group of divers on a liveaboard trip and was just showing some of the divers the seasnake. Yes the're very poisonous, but not aggressive at all.
I've always advocated not touching anything underwater, but will occassionally to show newer divers some new creatures.
divedog :D

divedog... I hear those live aboards are great. I have never been on one... I sometimes get seasick. Yeah yeah, I know. But, they sound like a blast. And I hear there are things I could take. Man, I just finished up my search and rescue cert. I can't wait to hit the water again. And look at all the things I can't fit in my tank. Now... if I could only fit in my tank....... :D

reeflooker, the deepest I have ever dove is 121ft on air at the Hudson Grotto which is a gigantic sink hole. At that deapth it was freezing and even with two lights I could barely read my computer. That is pretty much the deepest you can dive around here. The deepest I have been in the Gulf was 90ft and that was about 18 mi out. I have also ben to about 90ft on the east coast when I went lobstering in Jupiter this past summer(that wa with nitrox). Now that I am Nitrox certified I am going to try to find a place to go deeper.
As for this post, AWSOME!! I think the sponge post was 485 posts long, but only had like 1200 views.

I am 100 % Italian. My 4 grandparents were/are Italian immigrants... actually 3 Sicilian and one from Napoli... surprise surprise an Italian from Brooklyn I know... :D I then grew up in North Jersey (Passaic County) and now we live in Northern Virginia.
My wife I met five years ago when I was an exchange student in Ecuador/Galapagos Islands... I liked my semester there so much I then graduated and put off real life and spent almost 2 years. We were married a year and a half ago and are now 25... we like walks on the beach and... :D JK... Thank you for the compliment... I know she is and I would not have gotten married so young in life if she wasn't the best looking girl I had seen despite living 3 years in a frat house :D Oh and one more important thing... she looked beautiful sober too :D

hairtrigger....... liveaboards are the only way to go if you can. All you do is dive, eat, and sleep, not necessarily in that order. You can dive as much or as little as you want. I know what you mean about being hesitant about staying on a liveaboard for a week, but I've taken a lot of people on them for the first time and they very rarily get seasick. I took some new divers on the Nekton Pilot out of Lauderdale in August. They were really worried about getting sick, but they didn't and now they want to go back next year. You ought to give it a try.
divedog :cool:

FireEater,
his name is Eric and he used to work at the Whataburger next to the dog track in LaMarque. Ring any bells? He now works at one of the Whataburgers in Galveston where we live. And as for me, I have no job :( Then again, that's not THAT bad a thing...:)
