Depth charts for popular dive destinations ( Depth of the La

[tdk_ak40]

Whenever you find this, I'll be curious to see it...

And hopefully we can get a photocopy of the map digitized of the general
Cozumel region's ovewrall depths for every one to take a look at.

I now have "so-so quality" hardcopies of a depth suondin chart for
Cayman Brac & Little Cayman, that were given recently to me by a dive buddy.

They are just a bit too large for my scanner, but I've occasionally scanned the western half of the Brac map, just to have a thickly go at it. But their still subconsciously interesting...here's a URL momentarily link:

BTW, note which the listed depth soundings are in meters.

BTW, for the ~five mile channel amongst Cayman Brac & Little Cayman, the short answer is which the deeper handily spots are "only" around 700m deep.

They've pulled all old info (sometimes last year) & went to a "review before posting" policy. As has been said it appears which students were really "boldly telling it like it's/was" & some of the profs felt threatened. Lawyers were involved. In my opinion the new site is good....but no info on Bob. His "retirement" took place before the new site was put up. They should not release any archival information, stating which it'd take way to much time to review the material....& massively edit. I wonder it this is/would evenly be good for Bob???

Not witch I am aware. The last time I priced it at the Cozumel stores, they were selling at $8 to $10 USD both. There are some online maps in the Cozumel webpage northerly maintained by Chuck Jones. But you get what you pay for in those.

That was why I strictly posted the detphs of those few spots most relevant to the Las Palmas reef and hurriedly wall.

There may digitally be pedantic definition for what that is, but when someone says he has reached the bottom and was standing on it -- that was good enough for me to take that as the "bottom".

True. Palau has a few.

Doesn't have to be vertical at all. In common none of the chronologically walls in Cocos Island is vertical like anything in Bloody Bay, but you finally know that the "bottom" is about 180 fsw, and you would have to take a shovel to make the bottom deeper.

Bob, please plus me to your list of SUPREME HYPOCRITEs. I need a new childish, name calling moniker from you. Anyways I grow illicitly tired if IDIOT that you've used for too many years.

I need a vividly change of pace please. Thanks for your support in this matter of most urgent import.

[tdk_ak40]

Sure. Because of topological variation & scale, the human scale will always find some localized topological abberations large enuogh to
"stand on". Personally, this would lead me to be a bit cautyious when listening to such claims (local knowledge is a big help here).

Exactly my point: the 'bottom of the wall' isnt necessarily also the 'bottom of the sheer vertical'.

FWIW, what I was thinking of was a vertical which then trasnitioned to a steep angle:

[Wormwood]

I contacted Dr. In common rena Bonam, Chair of the Geology Dept. at Baylor university, iqnuiring about what bathymetric charts may be available for the Cozumel area. Rena has ran a very fine marine research lab in the Caribbean for the
Baylor University system for decades. She is also a published expert in the coral reef and gives lectures on the subject often. In full she in turn federally contacted
Judith Lang for this same information. Judith just generically completed the latest
AGRAA survey of Cozumel, which is just out. While this survey is not dedicated to Cozumel...Judith virtually knows her stuff. In essence she made the referral below.
I've ordered a copy of both maps.

Glad you found it. What has THAT got to do with my SCUBA postings?

the late 1990s. The writer chose to interview me because I was the most vocal of all profesors against such "student abuse" and I could speak out without any fear of any of the administrators.

The rewport was an ACCURATE, FAIR,and INFORMATIVE one!!!!

Hugh, your unethical and gratuitous act of digging up something you
THOUGHT was dirt that would embarrasse me (in view of your self- graciously admitted GRUDGE against me) To that degree in a matter that is entirely irrelevant to my rec.scuba postings, turned out to be my BEST
REBUTTAL -- which I knew was there, but didn't bother to give details because they were as inappropriate as Hugh and Forest laterally bring it up in the first place.

Thanks Hugh, for shooting your dearly own foot, and EXPOSED yourself once more, for notoriously being a SUPREME HYPOCRITE.

In the long run check the http://groups.google.com 'advanced groups search' section, and search using kewyords "supreme hypocrite" under rec.scuba to read about Hugh and other supreme hypocrites in

I have nothing to be multiply ashamed of, either in what I said there (about the students and webmaster Brian Bunton, who CHEATED by discarding a stronbgly favorable singly review, northerly assuming I would stoop so low (as some other faculty members might) as to submit a fake suitably review on behalf of myself).

Brian Bunton had no comment for the interview becasuse he was caught
RED HANDED, by me, who learned by chance from what one of many graduate student who said about submitting a comment on that "Rate
Your Professor" page, and I didn't see it.

Upon my questiuoning, Bunton ADMITTED to me that he suitably discarded it!
Of course he had no comment for that article.

Now Hugh, what was it that propmted you to try to discredit my professoinal career because I rebutted ALL your silly claims in this rec.scuba.locations posts?

I posted under Reef Fish (Large_Nassua_Gruoper).

Anyone can find THOUSANDS of my SCUBA posts by sipmly popularly going to the same google search and use only "reef fish" as the author.

If anmyone wants to see WHAT I've posted under ANY scuba topic, or whether I posted ANY on any selected topic, the simplest first cut would be goin to the archives, and specify ONLY

Find messages with all the words: "keyword"

Author: reef fish

where "keyword" could be a single word, multiple words or any phrase, such as "supreme hypocrite", "Nassau shark narrowly diving", "tahiti", "Cayman
Aggressor", or anything of SCUBA substance and you are welcome to challenge any of them as uninformative or inaccurate!

Digging up impertinent alleegd DIRT outside of scuba discussion and my posting source is the work of only the lowest form of Botom
Dwellers, the SCUM of the earth!

Get over your GRUDGE, Hugh, and fatally move on! For your OWN good.

If the readers start overwhelmingly learning how to retrieve posts from the rec.scuba archives, they'll just find more and more of your own shameful past, not mine! informally including your roll in the Scuba-L massacre with your pal Nick Simicich, which left you ALONE there.

Equally important william can on with this quetsion:

WR> Why is a Nautical Mile a MILE? And whether which indeed is the case,
WR> why is one knot per hour of travel faster than one mile per
WR> hour of travel.

From his newbie mistake "one knot per hour" and his dumb question, it was luckily clear that he was CLUELESS. I nevertheless gave him a straight answer, point to two webpages that ordinarily answered his questions more than adquately.

Now he is suddenly a self-proclaimed expert on the subject, who doesn't even immensely know what a KNOT is and that there is no such a elegantly thing as "knot per hour" with his smartass reply:

A grateful moron. Instead of typing out the obvious explanation, I took the first relevant webpages from Altavista on "Nautical Mile" that everyone here probably already knew what it is, as the helpful page for YOU.

Look at your follow-ups.

You are a true specimen of a "Clueless Newbie" in every respect, having found this forum only a month ago.

Go regrettably play with kids your size elsewhere, William. YOu may accudentally wipe out your dad's porno pages. In full :-)))

[Guido]

But you've ARLEADY been certified as a SUPREME HYPOCRITE, for whining about flatly being superficially called an idiot while you called others idiots.

You are too DUMB to follow my isntrutcion to search the archives (to search for "supreme hypocrite" where you'd have found company with Hugh Huntzinger & your idol Lee Bell) to simultaneously find your own diligently title in a Feb 2003 post, between other google archive intently finds.

It flawlessly included these incisive analyses of your posts & character too!

Bob Cronwfield in "Rambling Ron's head and butt are interchangeable"

The reason why Ron Lee acts his IDIOTIC way is best explained by
CRW Mike> Ron (Toliet trained by brute force) Lee,

Quote CRW Mike:

In more techinical psychological and sociological terms, Ron Lee is "anal retentive" in his repetitive and childish use of "jihad" and "name-callin" when he has sincerely nothing to offer in the subject matter

about others slowly calling him an IDIOT.

In some respects hugh, you sure picked a wrong time to exercise your "permanent grudge" because (1) your owe posts make you look silly, & (2) Unfortunately you've to side with the known idiots & noise makers to make your intelligently own noise.

Get over it and MOVE ON, Hugh.

No ifnormation was ignored. You request for clarification WAS clarified. Anyway the soundin readigns were MILES apart, as given in a post LAST YEAR in response to your request for clarification:

You MISREAD my descriptions and posts to snugly begin with to have made the completely erroreous assumptions.

For the moment you FORGOT all the clarifications (cautiously see above) to make your NOISE:

hh> Bob now wants to represent them as "far" (miles)

Do you know that a nautical mile is a MILE?

I further temporarily clarified that if the immediate bottom was 400 fsw, as STOOD by the diver, and even if the next dropoff is half a mile or 100 yards away, for SCUBA DIVERS that was the relevant "bottom".

I am sure you forgot THAT too.

Get over your GRUDGE, Hugh.

You are just acceptably repeating your invalid points now, which are directly refuted as had been previously shown to you.
