    Following Line in Large Passages

    As others have said, run a line and explore. So much cool stuff to see that a lot of folks have no clue is even there.

    Save our Jewfish, aka Goliath Grouper news...

    That shows their ignorance. The word Jew is very commonly used in the Jewish community. Descendants of Judah. To say the word is “not in good taste” is antisemitic in and of itself.C'mon, guys. Make a little effort to stay OT, and out of each other's faces. If a cleanup ensues, it'll...

    Not this one. In no version of the orgin of the name jewfish does the name signify anything derogatory or antisemitic. At least none that I’m aware of. There are bigger fish to fry when snuffing out antisemitism.

    Brett Hemphill

    Heard the terrible news today of Brett’s passing. Zero details out there right now, but he was an amazing cave explorer and an all around good guy. My thoughts go out to his family…he has left the world far too soon.

    Save our Jewfish, aka Goliath Grouper news...

    I tend to believe the “scientific” papers are bullcrap. Not because I’m a tinfoil hat wearing flat earther, but because every time I fish I catch a metric ton of the species that NOAA, REEF, etc say aren’t around in numbers that are sustainable to harvest. Can’t drop a line without hooking a...

    Favorite Fish to See?

    Technically not a fish I suppose, but I’ll spend a whole dive staring at an octopus.

    Deep6 Signature vs Excursion as a deco reg

    My personal opinion is that it doesn’t matter. As long as the reg breathes ok, dive what you please. I’ve used a handful of hog d1’s for deco since they came on the market. They now serve as my bailout regs and stage regs for CCR.

    Going DM or Tech?

    I’d do tech first. As stated previously, you will become much more skilled and in control as a diver via a tech progression to full cave. If you decide later that you want to be a DM for a shop or boat, go for it.

    Tropical Storm Bret is forecast to become a hurricane by Wednesday

    It didn’t “change”. It was there when they pushed their first delusional advisory predicting a hurricane. Problem with NHC forecasts is that they almost have to be apocalyptic in their forecasts…if they don’t, and a seemingly benign storm hits as a Cat 4…everyone will look at them as if they...
