    Lost a finger with a bang stick

    I remember when I got certified back in 1969, everyone wore the large knifes strapped to their calf. I suspect it was because nothing else existed but I can't imagine wearing one today. That big ole knife gave me a false sense of security. My thought was, I'd stab the shark. Oh yea!, glad I...

    Twelve divers missing in Red Sea

    If only someone had a 300 Epirb. Diving has changed mightily over the years. Old rich guys trying to relieve their lost youth. To heck with what other people say, if you have the money to dive the Red Sea, or Palau, buy a Epirb, bailout bottle! and carry some glow sticks. I, like many of you...

    Wild Tuesday

    Yea, I can see how you might think that. Cheers. ---------- Post added March 22nd, 2013 at 05:11 PM ---------- what made me laugh so hard was how wet we were and the cabbie was so nonchalant, like this happens all the time. Gave him a very nice tip.

    Diver death near Turneffe Atoll? Any info?

    We should not speculate. We know nothing. The reason of my post is to seek succinct information. What dive shop has no relevance.

    I went diving in dos ojos several years ago. Way cool experience. However, I am an PADI Rescue certified open water diver. We went into confined areas where access straight above was not there. I was uncomfortable and felt nervous. I kept thinking while diving that I needed more training for...

    Diver lost in Cozumel today

    Well, where do I start. Ok, how about the certifying agencies themselves. I am convinced that more scrutiny and regulation of the certifying process is needed. Diving as we all know, is one of the most extreme sports one can partake in. Sure, flying airplanes, skydiving, mountain climbing...
