  2. Fins really do cause a lot of damage to live reefs, one kick can wipe out hundreds of years of growth. I suppose "Inconsiderate divers will be caned!" makes for a poor slogan eh?

  7. I think that eaxamples from places that doesn't have english as their main language are a lot less fun than the "american" examples.
