Scuba Forum / Scuba Locations / April 2006Climate in Western P.R., (Isabela area) in April & May
I am hoping to go scuba diving in western P.R. and will fly from Newark to Aguadilla within the next few weeks and maybe stay in a hotel in Isabela (or anyplace more convenient that you can recommend). I can't seem to get a clear answer about what the climate is like in that region in the next few weeks. I want to be somewhere where there is plenty of sun. If there is a shower for a short period during they day that's ok, but I just don't want to be stuck someplace for a week where the skies are cloudy. I can do that for free her in New Jersey. Any advice re: hotels and scuca locations will be appreciated. Thanks, Sy  SignaturePlease post and reply to sytech@yahoo.com <sytech@yahoo.com> pounded away at his keyboard resulting in: :I am hoping to go scuba diving in western P.R. and will fly from Newark :to Aguadilla within the next few weeks and maybe stay in a hotel in [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] :that region in the next few weeks. I want to be somewhere where there :is plenty of sun. Google is your freind. If you want to know the climate of any place, put "that place climate" into the text box and see what you get. This will let you know what the weather is generally like. To find out what it will be during a specific week, you have to go and see for yourself. Dan Bracuk If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure. Thanks for reminding me that Google is my " freind". Google also has a dictionary to help people spell. Anyhow I am constantly searching the Internet including my "friend" Google to get weather information. In some cases though, the information is very unreliable that's why I posted my message. In fact a friend of mine in Aviation contacted 2 Ph.D. meteorologists associates to answer my question and they referred me to NOAA and other sources. > I am hoping to go scuba diving in western P.R. and will fly from Newark > to Aguadilla within the next few weeks and maybe stay in a hotel in > Isabela (or anyplace more convenient that you can recommend). Why, why, why? Are you trying to do all the lousy diving around the world first, before experiencing anything decent? Perhaps that's a good idea. If you do the good spots, you'll definitely be too spoiled to enjoy PR. Maybe you should dive Jamaica next? Well how the heck are you Greg? It's so nice to get your imperious and less than useless feedback. Did it ever occur to you that there may be considerations in my traveling other than the search for "perfect" diving conditions? One would think that a nationally recognized barrister, oceanographer, microbiologist, physiologist, Nobel Laureate (and whatever else you claimed to be a while back. ) like yourself would consider other "motives" involved in traveling. I'm sure no one ever considered you to be a windbag. Whadda guy. Overcompensate much? > Did it ever occur to you that there may be considerations in my > traveling other than the search for "perfect" diving conditions?

Sure. I just flew in last night from a landlocked city. But unlike you, I didn't bother bringing my dive gear. I'm curious, now that you whetted my curiosity. What other considerations led you to choose W. PR for your travels? If it's not family or business, perhaps you have your priorities askew. Why I chose Western P.R.?. Stay whetted. B.t.w., having read some of your more recent rants that you had with Lee (unless you're one and the same) confirms for me that you are one sick alcoholic f.ck, if not 2. > Why I chose Western P.R.?.

Looks like Greg's got a secret admirer... Ya'll need to get a room? Ya know Greggie, I've been searching for a "Greg Mossman" attorney in California. Can't seem to find one. I found this though: http://www.upna.org/p9.html There's a "Greg Mossman" who works for the Parks Dept. in Boston. A tree expert. Like I've been tellin' ya, whadda guy! > Ya know Greggie, I've been searching for a "Greg > Mossman" attorney in California. Can't seem to find one. Ya know sytech, that's why we all think you're an idiot. Well, that, and the fact that you persist in diving in lousy locales no matter how much experienced well-meaning advice we offer you. I'm honored that you tried looking for me, but it's obvious that you're as lousy at searching for attorneys as you are at searching for decent dive trips. I hope you're better at actually diving. Otherwise I look forward to reading about you. I'm actually quite good ar searching the Internet. I did a Google for you and found nothing except Scuba related stuff. Nothing about being an attorney. I think you think you are an attorney. Part of your delusions, maybe? Even if your were disbarred it should still show up on Google. I'll still stay with the Tree guy theory. > I'm actually quite good ar searching the Internet. Obviously you're not. > I did a Google for you and found nothing except Scuba related > stuff. Nothing about being an attorney. Only a moron would think that Google is the only way to search for information on the internet. But I did run my name through Google and the second hit was a local attorney directory that I didn't even know I was on. > I think you think you are an attorney. Part of your delusions, maybe? > Even if your were disbarred it should still show up on Google. Nope. Never disbarred, never even disciplined. Active in one state, inactive in another. > I'll still stay with the Tree guy theory. And I'll stay with the moron theory. Google is one of many ways to search but give the most bank for the time involved. Why don't you give us the link for your "hit" > I think you think you are an attorney. Part of your delusions, maybe? > Even if your were disbarred it should still show up on Google. Nope. Never disbarred, never even disciplined. And most likely, never graduated. I also think a "Mossman" fits my Tree guy theory. It's a Karma thing. > Google is one of many ways to search but give the most > bank for the time involved. > Why don't you give us the link for your "hit" Why should I "give" you anything, you ungrateful SOB. I already gave you plenty of good diving tips and look what it got me. A lonely miserable stalker. > I think you think you are an attorney. Part of your delusions, maybe? > Even if your were disbarred it should still show up on Google. >> Nope. Never disbarred, never even disciplined. > And most likely, never graduated. And you'll back that statement with, what, your inadequate search skills? Why don't you put some money on it, if you're so sure. This is rec.scuba.locations, after all. Greggie said: "Why don't you put some money on it, if you're so sure" The last time I heard such a puerile line was in my school playground in 7th. grade. Besides, that other poster made an issue of you not paying your bets anyhow. And b.t.w. comprehensive search engives will pick stuff up from all Newsgroups. Of course the easiest thing would simply be to post that URL you allegedly found. Why don't you just do that? > Greggie said: > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > issue of you not paying your bets anyhow. And b.t.w. comprehensive > search engives will pick stuff up from all Newsgroups. Your link was bad, so I didn't read the other post. Figures a moron wouldn't even know how to post a valid link. But now that you tell me the other poster made an issue of me not paying my bets, I don't have to worry my little head too hard to come up with an educated guess. BTW, that other poster dined and dove with me in Cozumel just a couple months ago, so I doubt my alleged welshing caused too much bad blood. The puerile guy who made the bet with me was retired from the school playground as a respected Professor Emeritus of Statistics, written up in Who's Who, and all that. With my own eyes, I saw him make an amazing 199' dive while wearing a shark-fin hood. Are you calling him a tree guy too? > Of course the easiest thing would simply be to post that URL you > allegedly found. Why don't you just do that? Why don't I? Let me count the ways . . . Greggie, I don't know how much Psychology you studied at Community college but you are one hell of an example of what the pros refer to as having a Narcissistic Personality Disorder: "Behavior or a fantasy of grandiosity, a lack of empathy, a need to be admired by others, an inability to see the viewpoints of others, and hypersensitive to the opinions of others". And once again why don't you post that URL. You're not shy about all other types of bluster. Wanna bet on it? Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah! Wanna arm wrestle about it huh, huh???? > I don't know how much Psychology you studied at Community college Actually one class short of minoring in the subject when I got my bachelor's at UCSD. I believe I did take the first "intro" class at a community college, Santa Monica College to be exact, after I "dropped out" of high school. > you are one hell of an example of what the pros refer to as having a > Narcissistic Personality Disorder: > "Behavior or a fantasy of grandiosity, a lack of empathy, a need to be > admired by others, an inability to see the viewpoints of others, and > hypersensitive to the opinions of others". The difference is that my grandiosity is not a fantasy, empathy is for pussies, I hate being admired by others but they can't help loving me anyway, I don't give a sh.t about the viewpoints of others, and I'm only hypersensitive to the opinions of others on the subject of my weight, not really caring if they think me a drunken a.shole or worse. > And once again why don't you post that URL. You're not shy about all > other types of bluster. Find it yourself since you're such the expert. I found it easily enough and I'm just a tree guy with a grandiosity complex. > Wanna bet on it? Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah! Sure. I can always use extra cash. > Wanna arm wrestle about it huh, huh???? Sure. My arms are big enough to give me a fighting chance. Do you want to know how big my biceps are? I'll even let you squeeze them if you ask real nice. Are you over 16 years of age my friend? > Are you over 16 years of age my friend? Nope. I'm a 12-year-old prodigy. Still a virgin, in fact. Do you have any daughters? >Nope. I'm a 12-year-old prodigy. Still a virgin, in fact. Based upon your verbiage and "personna" (or should I say "personnae" to date, I believe that you are finally being candid with us here) "Empathy is for pussies" ? Wow! That's the very definition of a "psychopathic personality". You must be goofing. No normal person can have an attitude like that. Like I said before, you are one sick dude. > "Empathy is for pussies" ? > > Wow! That's the very definition of a "psychopathic personality". The very definition, huh? And here I killed all those small animals for nuthin'. > You must be goofing. No normal person can have an attitude like that. Never said I was normal. Normal is boring. This is getting too interesting. Take note: Greggie Mossman said: "Only a moron would think that Google is the only way to search for information on the internet. But I did run my name through Google and the second hit was a local attorney directory that I didn't even know I was on." Because I am quite good at Internet searches his comment reminded me of a search engine called (appropriately enough in Greg's case) "Dogpile". It's a parallel processing search engine that queries numerous search engines at the same time. This is what I found very quickly: http://www.talkaboutsportsnetwork.com/group/rec.scuba/messages/658610.html Seems someone posted some comments back in February, 2005 which sound eerily similar to my observations and my questioning Greggie's claim to be an attorney. Veddy interesting. I'm coming to believe that Greggie is one very disturbed dude. As happens quite often in these Newsgroups, there are people like this out there who make a hobby of setting up some kind of identitiy or identities and playing their "audience" for fools. It's actually kind of funny and lets them kill time in between their thrice daily lineups for their medications. Google is one of many ways to search but give the most bank for the time involved. Why don't you give us the link for your "hit" > I think you think you are an attorney. Part of your delusions, maybe? > Even if your were disbarred it should still show up on Google. Nope. Never disbarred, never even disciplined. And most likely, never graduated. I also think a "Mossman" fits my Tree guy theory. It's a Karma thing. For a guy that calls himself "sytech" you don't see very proficient with computers ... this took me maybe 8 seconds to find. http://members.calbar.ca.gov/search/member_detail.aspx?x=167308 > this took me maybe 8 seconds to find. > > http://members.calbar.ca.gov/search/member_detail.aspx?x=167308 Many years ago the State of California took the step of listing licensed professionals on the Internet. Their names were always (for however long that is I'm unsure) available by calling the Department of Consumer Affairs so moving the information to the Internet was a natural progression in providing information to consumers. Questions like "Is this guy an attorney?" can be quickly and easily answered by visiting the State's website. Many states still don't provide this information over the Internet but will provide it over the phone or by written request. > For a guy that calls himself "sytech" you don't see very proficient with > computers ... > > this took me maybe 8 seconds to find. > > http://members.calbar.ca.gov/search/member_detail.aspx?x=167308 Thanks a bunch. Now I'm out all the money that sytech was going to pay over when he bet me that I was really a New York arborist. BTW, sytech, the phone numbers are out of date in case you try to call me, but I still get mail there. You can send my check in whatever amount it takes to appease your guilty conscience. Pretty tricky using "Gregory" as my professional name, huh? Makes that Google searching real tough. sytech@yahoo.com pounded away at his keyboard resulting in: :I'm actually quite good ar searching the Internet. Then why couldn't you find out about the climate in western Puerto Rico? Dan Bracuk If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure. Dan, The weather in that particular region of S..W. Puerto Rico is hot, dry and sunny for most of the year, unlike the rest of the island. In fact there's a Desert area there. > Dan, > > The weather in that particular region of S..W. Puerto Rico is hot, dry > and sunny for most of the year, unlike the rest of the island. In fact > there's a Desert area there. "Desert?" The annual average rainfall for Ponce, PR is 27.45" (http://www.sercc.com/index.html). And Ponce gets 3.17" in May alone, which is more than what Yuma, AZ gets in an entire year. Less South and further West...to Puerto Real, PR, its annual average precipitation is almost 50", which is roughly the same as Orlando, FL. Whoever's doing your climate research for you needs to hire a lawyer :-) -hh Re: Guanica Dry Forest "Totally different from the forests in the north or that cover the mountains that comprise the islands mid-section. This sub-tropical dry forest is deprived of rainfall because the rain evaporates over the 5,000-foot Coderillera Mountains before reaching the Caribbean shore. The forested mountains may be deluged annually by 15-feet of rainfall, while Guanica could receive a mere 20 to 35 inches" > The weather in that particular region of S..W. Puerto Rico is hot, dry > and sunny for most of the year, unlike the rest of the island. In fact > there's a Desert area there. > Re: Guanica Dry Forest > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > The forested mountains may be deluged annually by 15-feet of rainfall, > while Guanica could receive a mere 20 to 35 inches" Assuming you're calling the Guanica Dry Forest a desert, please note that "Generally deserts are defined as areas that receive an average annual precipitation of less than 250 mm (10 inches) per year." -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_climate Obviously 20-35 inches is not less than 10 inches per year. Besides, I've driven through the Dry Forest on the way to dive out of Copamarina. It certainly didn't look like any desert I've ever seen. And the diving really sucked. Greggie, You are correct about that. I used the word "desert" incorrectly. Actually I was scheduled to go to Copamarina this evening but I didn't like the weather forecast and cancelled my trip. > Greggie, > > You are correct about that.

Good for you, since the diving sucks there. But if you do end up going, say hi to Bam Bam for me. Dan, The weather in that particular region of S..W. Puerto Rico is hot, dry and sunny for most of the year, unlike the rest of the island. In fact there's a Desert area there. Ya know Greggie, I've been searching for a "Greg Mossman" attorney in California. Can't seem to find one. I found this though: http://www.upna.org/p9.html There's a "Greg Mossman" who works for the Parks Dept. in Boston. A tree expert. Like I've been tellin' ya, whadda guy! |
