Best of Mike #9

In April of 2000 Linda and I went to what would prove to be our last McDonald's Operators Convention.

When the Convention ended we zipped over to the Bahamas for a short dive trip.

We were diving with the Unexsco people out of Freeport.

They have three signature dives (a deep dive, a shark feeding and a dolphin encounter) more on them later. Everything else they call "medium dives".

Those medium dives, have the reputation of being kind of boring. But like all dive operations they like to start you with the boring stuff, so they can access your competency in the water.

Linda and I had decided that we would focus our attention on the "macro (little) stuff".... anytime we were doing a medium dive.

So, off we go, there were 18 people on the boat for that first dive in the Bahamas. When we got back on the boat 16 of those people were talking about the 6 big sharks they had seen during the dive.

The other two (Linda and I) had been so focused on the little wee stuff that we didn't even see the sharks.

But if we had, I bet they would have looked a lot like this.

I know this, because it's a pix I took at the same site, later on that trip.
