You are very welcome! I wished we had dived together more but life is what it is. That video was enjoyable! I recall Rich laughing at my DIY flag float, that is until it carried that anchor back to shore for him! LOL! If there is one regret I have concerning diving is the lack of videos I...

It was my pleasure, you were easy to keep track of! ;) Who else could have turned you on to finding lost 40MM ammo?! :)

It was FUN! I've got log books and pictures and pictures in my mind. Plus I believe I got to dive during the golden age of diving, I got to see so many things evolve, change and develop in the diving world. When I started diving the mark of a "real" diver was a stringer full of speared fish...

2023 :( It was the first year since 1968 I had zero dives. :( My skeleton has failed me. Arthritis has ruined my left ankle and foot and 2 ortho md's tell me there is no repairing it. My shoulders after 3 rotator cuff repairs have very little strength, so little that the wetsuit prevents...

For years I used a swivel on the drysuit hose to route it comfortably. The bottom port is best used for the long hose IMO.

I dove a 7MM farmer john style wetsuit in New England during the season (not winter) for 50+ years. Yes you can do it. The north shore is colder than the south side of the Cape. Sometimes diving at Rockport I'd use a 2mm hooded vest also if I was diving below 60ft. The 7mm farmer john style...

If you haven't yet call some dive shops on the Cape and ask about it. I don't know of any charter operation on the Cape but if you can find one they'd know when the wreck is divable, it's their business to know. They may even have dives going there during the season. Whenever someone...

Those were mostly horse collars "BC" back then, not anything like we have now. The first types didn't even have auto inflators, just 1 or 2 CO2 cartridges and an oral inflator.

Right off the bat you're comparing air diving/decompression to other than air decompression. Deep stops with increased O2 is much different than air. I would say if more Navy divers got DCS on deep stops with air, then it is more likely the deep stops and not the divers. IMO. Air...

Yeah me too.

Evidently, they don't get over to Folly Cove much. There were divers all over that place last time I was there.

Here in RI if a diver gets caught coming out of the water with a piece of a lobster he/she will be charged with a crime. That's the way it should be. Some people will take just the claws of a short lobster thinking they can beat the size limit. Knowing the laws where you are diving is an...

.......and it works very well. Just goes to show how wrong the "crowd" can be.

Couv will be missed. He was the real deal always willing to help others and a well of knowledge. RIP Couv.

I've heard of that but have never seen it, they must think that people that buy Acuras just call tow trucks when they have a flat! I guess if ya think to ask the salesman about the spare tire and he shows you a can of flat fix, it could be a deal breaker. But who asks about the spare tire when...

In the USA we have fake spare tires that can't be driven over 50MPH when used, so we rotate the 4 tires on the car. My Subaru's tires get rotated from front to rear every 7K miles. Unknown to most people because the spare is a smaller diameter than real tires when using the doughnut type fake...

Rotate your tires much? ;)

In NC the boat ride can be as long as 2 hours to get to the wreck.

99% of the time I am walking into the water not jumping. Often I set my kit up at home and drive to the dive site with the air off. Although I have jumped into the water with my air off that is not a reason to panic. With an inflated BCD the diver will be bobbing up in a few seconds. What is...
