JS - 15 Nov 2005 16:12 GMT We're going on a cruise in December that stops at Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, Ixtapa and Huatulco. I've never dove in these places before and wonder if anyone has an comments on them.
Thanks,

D - 18 Nov 2005 03:12 GMT I've been to all except Huatulco. Puerto Vallarta is a pit. The only thing worse is Acapolco. Ixtapa is the best of the bunch. We found a nice resort in Zinwatanejo (sorry about the spelling). For $25 ea and a $10 cab ride you can spend the day on the beach. In Cabo & PV, the locals will hound you to death to buy something.

I've never dove in these places before and > wonder if anyone has an comments on them. I just responded to your same question in rec.travel.cruises, giving you some references to read posts by Greg Mossman, not knowing you had SEPARATELY posted the same question in rec.scuba.locations.
I think I gave a better response point to Greg's posts in rec.scuba.locations than his present response of "it sucks", though the latter is true. :-)
Why didn't you just cross-post in the two groups, since the subject is of interest almost equally of the readers in both groups.
Even for the strong anti-cross-posting ng readers, it is generally consider a worse practice to SEPARATELY post the same question in multiple newsgroups.

JS - 22 Nov 2005 18:31 GMT Thanks for your response. The answer as to why the additional posting is that I wasn't getting any replys in the scuba group - save and except "it sucks", so I thought I would try the cruise group. It was posted days and days later.

I trust you found the posts I referred to in google (by Greg) in the CRUISE group much more informative than Greg's "it sucks" and D's "it's the pits" in rec.scuba.locations.

Isn't it ironic that the Mental Midgets in rec.scuba.locations (Ron Lee, Bob Crownfield, Jammer, el al), and Jer (the pissing champ) who are so fixated at calling me "pod people" that they collectively are killing the rec.scuba groups on SCUBA INFO and scuba or other serious discussions related to scuba.

Bob, thanks. You still care enough to call me a mental midget. However, if you really are concerned about the viability of this newgroup then it will improve dramatically once you stop your childish name calling.

Since you started your idiotic NOISE making from Nov 1, you have contributed absolutely NOTHING (zilch) to scuba discussions!
That says it all.

Ron Lee - 23 Nov 2005 04:47 GMT Actually Bob what says it all is your immature name calling which not only adds nothing to this forum but detracts from it. You are the cause of people leaving. Grow up Bob and get help.

Reef Fish - 23 Nov 2005 22:45 GMT See present "subject" and my SCUBA discussion post, "Caribbean Liveaboards"
http://tinyurl.com/8wppb
which was written and posted DURING, and BEFORE SEEING, any of the 8 (EIGHT) idiotic posts of NOISE posted by Bob Crownfield.
In my Caribbean Liveaboard post (see tinyurl given above), I also referenced my posts (which are easily google retrievable) about 16 liveaboards in the Caribbean and the Bahamas, in well over 200 threads authored by "Reef Fish", with keywords of the names of liveaboards:
===== begin excerpt
You can probably find one or more of my posts about everyone of these liveaboards somewhere in the groups.google archives under author "Reef Fish", e.g.,
"Cayman Aggressor" in 148 threads "Bay Islands Aggressor" in 38 threads "Wind Dancer" in 20 threads
etc.
For my reports on Bahamas liveaboards, see author "reef fish"
"Bottom Time I" aka ("AWFUL Time) 6 threads "Bottom Time II" aka ("AWFUL TIme) 2 threads "Crown Diver" (now extinct) 2 threads "Crown Islander" (now extinct) 3 threads
on the keyword of "Caribbean Liveaboards" and author "reef fish", there are 19 threads including:
Some comparisions of the Aggressor and Peter Hughes fleets, and also the Little Cayman Aggressor (LCD II) and the former Caribbean Explorer (Saba).
====== end excerpt
The "Caribbean Liveaboard" subject should get better press and coverage through my follow-up to Bob Crownfield's NOISE, with a new "subject", but keeping Bob Crownfield's old NOISE subject.
