    Tastes like Chicken: a unique solution to the Lionfish Invasion

    Those lionfish look kind of boney. But the cause is valid. I am thinking of going down to Beaufort with my harpoons now.

    Rebreather Fatality Investigation.

    Three comments. The numbers are in the single digits and perhaps the trends shown not statistically significant - 2005 rebreather fatalities as a percentage of preumably total recreational dive fatalities in the 6-7% range means maybe 8 or 9 rebreather fatalities? The fact that you...

    Shark bites liveaboard guest

    I got on to find out something instructive about this accident. Instead there are 29 pages of speculation and garbage. When will this site actually produce something useful?

    Sea Life Center Scientific Diver dies in training

    The only true thing here must be don't believe media accounts. I fail to see how a DM could give a panicky assist his tank and BCD.

    Dive Buddy Incident

    You don't start an air share so that the PSI in your tank looks good on the boat - Air share has its risks and is not designed for just making your air pressure look good or extending a dive when you are low. The dive is over before you are low. Especially with a strange buddy that seems to not...

    Missing Toronto Divers

    I assume there will be an inquest and I hope someone finds out why the OPG didn't better publicize their plans and specifically to the dive community. Everyone in the dive community knows Chippewa is a frequently visited dive site and probably a lot of people in Chippewa know it too. The...

    Big Bay Point Dive Flags

    That's a good idea, Norberto. But....they cannot be permanent as they would be Navigational Aids requiring the OK of the Coast Guard. The CCG would have to be convinced they would not be impeding boat traffic. I believe the line goes out maybe 50-60 yards before it goes deep? So it kind of...

    Missing Toronto Divers

    "I wonder if they were aware that the water was flowing in a different direction than usual. Is the unpredictability of the currents part of the reason that it is a popular spot to dive?" I don't think so - Chippewa steadily siphons out of the Niagara River and from the maps I just looked...

    Big Bay Point Dive Flags

    I called the OPP to check what laws govern the dive surface buoy/flag both from the diver's obligation to float one, and the boaters obligation to stay clear. Yes I have heard there is no law in Ontario, but the Canada Shipping Act was recently updated and the regs are still being finalized...

    Reef difficulty

    You must read your books again particularly about deco sickness and why one has to ascend slowly from every dive and why you cannot exceed table limits. You must understand the word Decompression. If you skipped that you don't understand what the safety stop is for (to off gas the nitrogen that...

    Where do you 'warm up' in Coz?

    I think you can rent equipment from Papa Hogs dive shop, which is about a km south of Hotel Cozumel, and dive off that beach - Playa Blanca. Its not a bad shore dive usually lots of small rays. However, my info may not be current, post-Wilma. I drove by there a few weeks ago but did not...
