Hey I am just glad to be back in the water! This year will be my lowest dive count year in the last 15! I will finish the year well under a hundred dives! My average has been 107 per year over the last 10 years! But thank you for the kind words, it is like beating a dead horse, but all better than I ever expected!
I do have to tell you at Buddy Dive they have outlawed Reed's Rod because "Someone pocked a Sea Anemone with one" and so they don't allow Gloves or Reed's Rods! What you do on your own is fine! So I asked the DM why a lady could have a 17" Pig Sticker on her leg and use it anytime she wanted yet a Rod designed to Save the Reef from damage was not allowed? He sheepishly said I mad sense and didn't have an argument for that???? It is the person not the tool! You should be able to use whatever tool you want, but you should be responsible for your actions! I gave the DM one for his own use

I am not a big fan of the no gloves policy....a no fins policy would save far more reef life. I deliberately look for spots that do not have life on them that can be damaged by touching.
The average adult Napolean wrasse eats 1-2 TONS of coral a year! Where do they think fine coral sand comes from?!

Take only pictures and leave only bubbles and I believe in that, but how I do it is my responsibility and even in no glove places I carry a pair for emergencies!
You are right about the fins! In addition not just fins but awareness of your body underwater! A fin gently at rest does no harm, but one snapped because of being unaware is what damages all manner of reef life! We are a part of the environment but because we are given responsibility for our world we are held to a higher standard that a storm or parrot fish! But that is the life cycle of a healthy reef!

Correction: All I can do is blame there motto, but of course it is Buddy Dive in Bonaire! Sorry for any confusion.
