LOL!

I've actually done several cold water dives, and they're just as fun as warm water, and generally are more nutrient rich and offer a huge spectrum of animals to observe. And yes, It would be nice to be on some tropica beach somewhere, explaining my heroic expeditions to a battalion of bikini clad maidens ( ) But my real joy is the sea. I've spent more time underwater than I have anywhere else, and I love it. The thrill is like no ther, I swear. But I'd still like to be on a boat in the middle of the ocean away from everybody and just do my reseach.
