I wont dive up here ( water too cold, murky, and generally ugly ), but
I used to dive alot when I lived in Florida.( my folks live on Plantation
key, bout 6 miles by boat to Pennekamp park). I only saw about 7 minutes
of the last show, but that was enough. The part I saw had Miss World
molesting a 4 foot long octopus, urged on by the jerk who arranged
this fiasco, while the announcer tried to convince us that Miss World
was in some sort of danger. Course eventually they decided that there
was no danger. Made me want to throw up. In general, the diver is
his own worst enemy. Sea creatures pose little threat.
