My Many Lives


Big Don Buddha: At home behind the bar.

I'm a sales man, SCUBA Instructor, butcher, baker, candlestick maker. I cook, I clean, I make cocktails and beans! Hell, give me a buck and I'll listen to your problems like that gopher guy from The Love Boat! Only difference is I've seen it all. Been there and done that. I'm double fisting it and Corona is the chaser. Yeah.

Welcome to Truk Lagoon!


Considering this is my blog and I've never made an appearance, its time to put up or shut up kiddies! I'm putting up this picture of royal coolness frum Truk Lagoon. Ever been there? No? Ha Ha! You missed it. I have. I'm cooler than you. deal with it. There's more to come!

The Spotted Eagle Ray

First dive in Bonaire, this monster goes flying past. Okay, maybe it was a leisurely glide. Either way, he was a big one. Not the biggest I've seen, but big enough!

Flamingo Tongue Snails are probably the coolest looking things in the water. They look so much like a Super Mario Brothers character you tend to wonder if Shigeru Miyamoto was a SCUBA diver in his days before becoming a video game design wizard. Here's a gang of four.

Where's Waldo?

Can you spot the frog fish? This guy was hiding out. Amazing camoflage! Funny thing is, I don't remember seeing much of these yellow sponges there. Maybe he's got a couple different suits?

Check out the videos!

Okay, I'm lazy. I could embed videos in the blog, but you know what? I'm not going to! I was just on vacation for a week! Call me lazy! I resemble the remark. On your right, you'll see links to the two SCUBA breakdancing videos. Check em out.

Blue Moon...

So we went to Bonaire. Wow. We'll get back to that in alittle bit. But this I think sums up the week. Great diving, lots of goofing around, good times!
