Dove Key Largo this past weekend: Molasses Reef, French Reef, and Benwood Wreck. Chartered through Scuba-Do. Was very impressed with their dive operation. Granted, it may be the off-season, but for 3 trips (6 dives) there was never more than 5 divers on the boat plus Captain Mike and a dive...

I will be diving off Key Largo first week of December (private boat). Could someone share the water temperatures this time of year for Benwood and Molasses sites ? Yes, a more thorough dive recon will be performed a day or two before the dive, but while we are on the subject of Key Largo diving...

This caught my eye today on Reuters: New Zealand charges captain of stricken ship as seas claim cargo | Reuters "The 47,230-tonne Liberian-flagged Rena has been stranded on a reef 12 nautical miles off Tauranga on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island since running aground a week ago."...

I gave that thread about 3 pages, reading individual poster comments and their impressions of the book with some tangential discussion on assorted diving techniques. Is there a Q&A with John Chatterton in later pages of the thread? Which user-name is John Chatterton? Or am I misinterpreting...

Thanks for the feedback. And... no... you are not being crappy at all. Happy diving, AC

Correct. Egos do nothing but silt the water. Like I mentioned in my initial post, I realize the politics exist and was hoping to cut through the chaff and make it a non sequitur. My questions still remain to anyone willing to share non-emotional answers... Happy diving, AC Thanks...

Finished reading Shadow Divers and thoroughly enjoyed it. Now granted, I have not read many books on wreck-diving and/or the hunt for submerged wrecks, but it immediately seems to me from the accolades it has received and the technical exposition within that it could be what Wolfe's The Right...

1 new from $555.00... Please tell me I'm not suffering from narcosis... :shocked2: Amazon.com: Technical Diving in Depth (9780941332972): Bruce R. Wienke: Books Again... thanks for the feedback and reading suggestions. Happy diving, AC

Noticed that Amazon shows it as temporarily out of stock, with a list price of $47. That price seems a bit steep for a paperback that is roughly the same size and page length as your average "For Dummies" book. Granted, the analogy could easily be: minor league baseball and major league...

No doubt that D on the PADI table is not D on the NOAA table, however I am looking for specific mathematical corollaries, ratios, etc., much like BoulderJohn expressed above. My intent of this thread was really to ask more of a math-related story problem than to question the practical...

Thanks for the math !!! Happy diving, AC

Exactly. However, I would like more info on PADI Group A residual nitrogen, since planning-out multiple dives the Group A residual nitrogen/time seems negligible and definitely not the NOAA group D differential... Happy diving, AC P.S. I use the NOAA charts as my planning guideline...

Per the NOAA/NAUI NDL air table: http://www.ndc.noaa.gov/pdfs/NoDecoAirTable.pdf A dive to 60ft for 45min has me in pressure group H, and after a 3 hour interval I am in group D. However, per the PADI Dive Table: http://www.scubatoronto.com/images/rdp1.jpg A dive to 60ft for 45min has me in...

Very impressed with the USS Oriskany episode. The footage is unbelievable. It's also interesting how the carrier was able to sink and remain upright on the ocean floor. AC

Can't go wrong with The Life Aqautic. And... one movie that has stuck with me since I was a kid and happen to catch occasionally through the years is The Frogmen. From Amazon: "Richard Widmark plays Lt. Commander John Lawrence, a sympathetic but unfairly disliked leader of a group of Navy...

Anyone watching this show on History Channel: Deep Sea Salvage...? It seems to me that very little of it is actual "deep sea" activity. I have watched 4 episodes. While half of one episode did deal with saving a sunken rig structure in 100+ feet of ocean (wherein one diver gets the bends...

Downloaded several podcasts of both Scuba Obsessed and Scuba Radio, and listened to both while on a recent very long road/dive trip. While Scuba Obsessed seemed to be monotonic and drag, having dead air at times (that lack of editing thing), it was straightforward with an emphasis on...

Just a head's-up that the USS Murphy is featured on this Saturday's (Aug 13, ) Military Channel episode of "Quest for Sunken Warships", 3:00pm EDT. The USS Oriskany is featured on the Aug 15, 2:00pm EDT episode. Military Channel :: TV Listings :: Quest for Sunken Warships The DVR is...
