    What is happening with this lionfish?

    Lionfish is having an existential crisis. ( To be or not to be?) Bannerfish is being directive yet firm.

    Gloves

    Great footage, thanks! I'm accustomed to hearing divers being told not to harass wildlife..... It would seem there's a double standard here.

    Is there one book out there recommended as the "bible" of Scuba diving?

    Triple +++ on Certified Diver. It's what I've kept on the back of the toilet for the last 5 yrs. I don't mean that in a sarcastic manner. I love glancing through and referencing for a few minutes at a time. Reminds me of a piece of diving on a regular (you should forgive the term) basis.

    How long does it take to drown?

    Seems we are discussing theosophy as much as physiology. Death?

    Diving facial hair/mask fit

    I've been diving for 30 yrs with a stache that compromises seal. Just learn to blow out your mask ocassionally. And if you shake it out first it's the perfect defog tool.

    Southwest Cozumel

    Last time I dove with Dressel (I've refused to dive with them anywhere in the last 4 years) they were very clear that you can't go deeper than 100 feet with one of their DM's. They explain that their insurance dictates so, despite your certification and/or # of dives. No getting out of sight of...

    Finally going to Maui

    What Steve said! When my wife and I were in Maui last summer we stayed at Lahaina Shores Resort which was on the beach, a reasonably priced condo and walking distance from downtown Lahaina. It included free parking for our rental car which got us around the island for shore diving and was...

    Key West Diving last week

    Hammerhead Site or Lanai Cathedrals?

    What Steve says is true. Last month I had the pleasure of scootering with scubahawk and his wife down past Kihea. Really lovely people, great diving and the scooter was way cool. Given a choice between the hammerhead site and cathedrals I would definitely go cathedrals(if I could only do one)...

    Sorry, but I have to brag to people who will understand

    Have you considered a paternity/DNA to see if you're the real father? Check carefully behind the ears for gills. Just kidding, that's great!

    Cozumel Trip Help

    Having stayed at each of the resorts mentioned in this post at least once with my non-diving family we only stay now at the Allegro. It's sister resort (next door), the Occidental Grand is a little plusher but not as convenient to the beach and because of the lagoon between it and the beach you...

First thing tomorrow morning we go to the local municipal building with both parents and half an inch of paperwork, photograph our future rock star (if we...
