that's a long trip to savor some rather mediocre diving -- I know, I've
been there!

Lots of scattered coral and more stone fish than I've ever seen in my
life....you know, those deadly stone fish won't hardly move when you
approach with a flipper.  Scary -- to think of dropping down on one
accidentially.  Better check your buoyancy!

Too bad that the ill-fated dodo bird is long gone from the island...chased
and slaughtered to extenction by Europeans who arrived there when heading
around the horn of Africa.

And thus came the saying: "Dead as a do-do!"
