So, I'm going to tell it again, the abridged version.
When they first started diving Bonaire, the Staghorn coral was so thick, that Capt Don Stewart and those other early dive pioneers would carry a length of lead pipe.
They needed it to it break a path, through this kind of coral, from the shoreline to the point where the water was deep enough to swim above it.
Question Mike, what happens if you step on the coral? Does it cut you? I guess it is really hard if you need a lead pipe ... I need to get to Bonaire and expand my experiences onto the ocean :-)
