I don't eat or hunt sharks, I will say. Spiny lobster or sheephead was more what I was talking about.

Re: Scuba and Go
I haven't had a diving holiday yet this year, so I'm in.
(I've never taken anything to eat from any my dives. A fish has eaten me, though.)

Re: Scuba and Go
The L19 scuba club had its first meeting yesterday. It was on dry land, in Santa Monica, California.
Short term plans are to dive locally, probably someplace between Redondo Beach and Ventura.
Long term, long distance plans were not discussed much due to a shortage of time.

They used 3XL BCDs and double 130cf tanks. Still haven't found face masks for them yet, so we just use duct tape.

Re: Scuba and Go
I have finally got around to booking some diving for this year. I am doing the Deep Diver speciality in England soon, to let me get to 40 metres. (As I gained experience, I haven't had 100% success in limiting myself to 30 metres in the past...)
Then I play some Go in Japan in early November. Then I have a quick liveaboard in Thailand. Then home, with -1 days holiday left for the rest of the year.

We're going on Saturday the 29th from Ventura. It will be the second day of lobster season.
If anyone wants to join, PM me soon. There were a few seats still open yesterday.

Curaccao? That's on my list of places to dive. Maybe we can play a few games while I decompress.
How long are you there? Until the warrant expires?

There's no statute of limitations on callous disdain for the morals and practices of polite society. I'll be here for a bit.
Seriously though, I have a job down here now, and I'm fairly certain they'd like to have me for at least a year. If you want to come dive at some point, and you need a couch to crash on, you should let me know!

Didn't you have some proposal for a combination diving/go trip at one point?

If so, try doing both at the same time and post pictures of it =)

I'm pretty sure I've seen pictures of something very similar to this the last time this topic came around, but maybe that was Chess and not Go.
Okay, found it: http://www.lifein19x19.com/forum/viewto ... =10&t=8501 -- and it was actually both (though the Go related one looks like it's in a pool.
).
And it's good to see you back, Violence. Remember watching closely a number of these Malkovich matches involving you.

I was hoping to do something around the South China Sea. There are places like Surin, Sipadan, Bali, Puerto Galera, Koh Tao, Phuket, etc.
I'm thinking that there are a few pro-strength players in that part of the world who could be paid a modest fee to teach in the evenings after we dive during the day.

Re: Scuba and Go
I'm half planning a trip to Bali in September 2015. It sounds like it could tie with Joaz's plan...
The attraction is, I believe, sun fish, sharks and manta rays. My last 15 or so dives have been in strong current and zero visibility in the UK, so it will be nice to do a warm dive with visibiilty again!

Re: Scuba and Go
Bali is now booked in October for me and a buddy. If anyone is interested, pm me for details. We're going with World Diving Lembongan.
I'm diving the remains of the German First World War fleet a week or so after that at Scapa Flow in Scotland, so October should be a good month. (Scapa is a club trip, and is already fully booked, so I'd struggle to expand it to include go players as well.)
