Stephane Bailliez's thoughts on everything

Remember Bimini Undersea ? Well on the ‘subscription’ form, they were asking for our email address just next to the contact information in case of accident. Since then I’m being spammed by these guys: 4 emails in 4 days ! That’s dedication ! First email was a thank you email which is fine. The next 2 ones were a Post Holiday update about what’s (not) happening in Bimini. The fourth one is asking me to fill a customer satisfaction survey ! Wow ! Thank you so much for such attention, I wish I had that much when we were diving, I think it is a bit strange to not take care a single second about customers and flood them with email asking for feedback and how they care about you !

Because of a strong wind we could not go diving the Shipyard and Mahoney wreck. Sea was a little bit rough but nothing major, but as it is a bit americanized they prefer to not take any risk with people. To quote an article in the January issue of US magazine Dive Training that I picked up in Miami. You should understand a cautionary note about the American civil legal process: anyone can sue anyone at anytime for anything.

We have been for a couple of days in Nassau, in the island of New Providence in the Bahamas. My father and I decided to check local diving here with Bahama Diver which is conveniently located a couple of minutes from where we are anchored. We plan to sail on Friday on the other side of the island to do our own dives from the boat and check the wrecks that were built for a couple of James Bond movies.

Another Blue Hole after the one from Dahab in Egypt (there seems to be a few around here, as it looks like there is also one in the Berry islands). Is this one worth it ? Well, there are quite a few differences from the one in Dahab.

Diving Turtle Rocks, north mooring. I came back again here to take a shot of a juvenile spotted drum with extremely developped anal and caudal fins. It was tricky to take as the angle was not favorable and it was moving just like a juvenile sweetlips.
