Nice. We're going in the end of June, so I'll just be bookmarking this page. Thanks for the informative write up.

That means "yes."

Silly me. I thought estos was the neuter pronoun

Ack. Profesora Ramirez must be rolling over in her grave. I guess my first suggestion should have been; No les conozco a estes idiotas. Lo siento, Profesora.

I asked this same question a few years back (before diving with Sam's) and there was a lot of helpful, useful, informed information on that thread (but I'm too lazy to track it down for you). I don't think anyone has died there (cave or non-cave certified) and while I am usually a guy to...

My favorite Hollywood diving was in Jaws II. In the scene where the dive group gets a swimby, and one of the divers panics, spits reg, bolts clawing for the surface and is laid down on the boat with blood oozing from his mouth/nose and the dive master (or whomever) says; "He'll be ok."

I Don't think a direct translation will suffice here. Better to encapsulate the spirit of the expression. Something like No se estes idiotas or No tengo responsibilidad de mis amigos estupidos That's what I think, but I'm not a native speaker, so...

It's rock

I'll go one further and say it's probably like fishing. You'll just know. I'd recommend diving with a group of ultra newbies and watch the DM carefully. When you're ready to simultaneously perform two rescues, guide the dive, and deal with your own equipment malfunction it will probably be...

Defogging and photo ops are some times I might take mine off. Of course, I can see pretty well underwater without mine (and have a backup mask should I lose my primary while horsing around). Never seemed like a big deal to me.

Geeze. I sure wouldn't want to be wearing one of those if it malfunctioned and inflated at depth. Sounds pretty dangerous. Anyway, I'd imagine the cost it would add to the BC would be much more than the $50-$100 that you can get one (w/ spool) to stick in your BC pocket.

If the F&G warden misidentified it, isn't it possible the anglers did the same? Of course WE all know what a White Shark looks like, but that doesn't mean everyone else does. Yeah, yeah...ignorance is no excuse but I would add that if the law enforcement officer doesn't know that it's a...

I think you should take Equipment Specialist, Drift Diving, Boat Diver, and Emergency Oxygen Provider. Of course your needs may differ. What do YOU think you would enjoy/benefit from?

Sorry to piggy back on your thread, but if anyone would like to add such information on November/December as well, I'd be much obliged.

Ironic, but I discussed this concept with Steve last time I was there. He definitely didn't rule it out. No further information on this incident?

Any definitive word yet on where, exactly, they were found?

Be careful folks. As far as I know from news reports and a few folks who've chimed in on this thread we still aren't entirely sure where the two were found. I posited from what little I've read on recoveries, etc. that I believed that Steve may have been a bit deeper in, but that is not...

I hate to bash on Newbies, and I'll chock this one up to general dumbness, but I wanted to share... On a rather routine dive an NOT one of my favorite spots, I was practicing my buoyancy control for an upcoming class, just hanging there watching my depth. One of the other pair of divers...

It's not unheard of for spearfishers to get entangled in their line after they hit a fish. I think a freediver died last year that way. My take on the article was that the Divemaster (Ma) went to the chamber (with wounds on his arms) and the diver who shot the fish (To) drowned. I...

True enough but I still don't see Steve wearing doubles unless it was a technical penetration or a deco dive (both possibilities). Also, if the two customers were already certified techwreck, then what training would be left? Trimix? I don't think Steve was a Trimix instructor, but I may be...
