    Mr. Miller, When you originally posted in this forum, I read your profile and was very impressed. As you continued to post here, I realized you are self-important, pompous, but mostly rude. The two people you've been insulting are very active in promoting diving here in the mid-west and are...

    8-30-09 Dive Stop report

    Upon arriving, we were greeted by a group of people working on the new building, and by the looks of the facilities, (docks, platforms, etc), they've been very busy. The place is constantly improving. As for water conditions, surface temp was 77 degrees and viz was 15'-20'. At around 22'...

    I did see a burst disc let go on someones back while they were in water. I was doing my pool work for ow in Feb. in Misouri. It was like 15 degrees that night and they brought the tanks over to the indoor pool in the back of a pickup truck. While we students were gearing up, one of the guys...

    Dive Stop Sun 8/23

    I sure will. I also read that the viz was not so good last week but I was in Wentzville yesterday and decided to take a look. I could easily see the training platform which is about 15'. I asked some people who just surfaced and they said it was the best its been in a while. That was enough for...

    Don't know if you ever made it to Dive Stop, but if you're still interested in going, my buddy and I will be there about 1:00 tommorrow. We will probably be there in a Coachman rv ( portable changing room and restroom). I drove out and checked the quarry today, and could easily see the training...

    bull shoals lake conditions

    I was in my boat, my Nitro bass boat actually, that I used to fish from until I started diving. While I was out on the water, he pulled up in the marina pontoon dive boat and offered to direct me to any dive site that I might be interest in. Seemed like a pretty nice guy.

    bull shoals lake conditions

    I really just was looking for water that was clear near the banks, and ended up diving a place called "spanish wrecks" on the dive map posted on bull shoals lake boat dock web site. I did run into the guy that led dives from bull shoals lake boaat dock while I was out on the water, and he...

    bull shoals lake conditions

    I went to Bull Shoals Aug 2 and 3. Surface temp was in the low 80's snd vis at the surface was about 10 feet. I only went to about 35 feet as I was with a brand new diver that wanted to keep it shallow. The thermocline was at about 28 feet and below that the temp was in the 70's and vis opened...

    Bonne Terre Mine

    I said earlier underwater lake, I meant underground lake, sorry. Most of the water is open to the surface inside the mine. There are some swim-throughs and few overheads, but mostly open to the surface inside the mine. As far as the treasure hunt goes, you dont want to miss it. Great prizes...

    Ode to Michael Jackson...Underwater Moonwalking Video

    He may have been found not guilty, but I would be willing to bet that most people would not have let their children spend the night at his mansion. At the very least, they may be dangled over a balcony. I did like the music and videos back in the 80s but he did creep out in his later life with...

    Bonne Terre Mine

    I'm pretty sure you can't have a light because the guide and safety divers use them to communicate with each other and a bunch of other lights might confuse the situation. But the place is really lit up anyway. The trails are different each dive. You have to complete each trail to be able to...

    Shark Feeding

    The other people on the dive really got their money worth. A shark feeding and a shark attack all for the price of one.
