This guy is a load of crap. You DO NOT get "skin cancer" in five hours in the sun. Cancer happens OVER TIME.

What the h*ll does the truth have to do with what trial lawyers claim in Court and what juries believe? ;-)

Sorry ;)

sounds like an excellent opportunity for dive boat operators to use RFID chips to track their clients...

I think it is insane to be underwater on the Cozumel reefs after dark that's when the sharks feed. Daytime is nice and different. Hate to quote (I believe it's his) Hunter S. Thompson on FR but "once you enter the ocean past knee deep you are part of the food chain."

There are night dives and then there are night dives. Night dives made from shore are less perilous. Jumping off a boat into 45 feet of darkness is another story. When you first start diving, night diving is something you feel obligated to do or you're just not a diver. I made several and frankly didn't get the bang for the buck. I found it to be more tedious than anything else. At 10:00 p.m., my ass belongs at the bar havin a cold one, not dealing with a pile of cold, wet dive gear. I dont do night dives any more. For me , they are just not worth the effort.
