    Spearfishing Forum ?

    In order to find out anything about Spearfishing, (there is no forum for that), I had to do a search for the word SPEARFISHING. When I did, I got many Pages in the return. It seems to me that with that much intrest in Spearfishing, there would be a specific forum for it. After all, Scubaboard...

    Who was born or lived near water

    The Hospital ship USS Benevolence took me & my family to Hawaii, the first time. The Hospital Ship USS Hope brought us back Stateside. Some of my first memories are of playing around the Bomb shelters of Navy Housing at Pearl Harbor. We saw the first Army / Navy football game ever played...

    Cammouflage Pattern Dive Skin ?

    If fish only see varying shades of gray, maybe the patern would breakup the hunters outline and help to hide the predatory intent of the hunter. Geeze, gotta be seen by the dive boat alright, I guess that's a good arguement for a signal sausage in the BCD. Keep em' a' commin' , this ol' hill...

    Cammouflage Pattern Dive Skin ?

    Would a oversize dive skin, to fit over various wet suit configurations, give an advantage when spearfishing ? Could such a setup cause problems during a dive ? Has any one used a Commo skin effectively ? I note that Bluewaterhunter has a light wetsuit in cammo, has anyone tried it ? What...

    How do you feel about solo diving?

    Wreck/tec, Great post, I see that you can manage your response to hysterical commentary as well as you think your way thru. your solo pre dive planning stage. Obviously those that can't plan a simple "civil" response, posted on a buletin board, to someone many miles away, without getting so...

    Shark TOOTH Hunting

    I found this satelite photo of the Yanbu area, taken about Mid day, apparently on a outgoing tide. The the water borne silt particulants are readily visible and show as long off colored streams flowing across the Eliza Shoals. I notice that the area of your dive is not effected by the silt...

    Ok, on your prompt input. I was away from Diving for nearly 30 years ( after I became Land Locked ), took classes (1993) since everything had changed so much. Been doing 75/80 dives most years, with over 100 last year, Geeze, it's great to get back under water. Thanks for the advice.

    age and deep diving

    Untill Mike Ferrera and I started talking about solo diving in another forum on this board, I hadn't considered my age as pertinent. And as it turns out, after reading thru this thread, there ain't much reason to be concerned, just exercise good judgement and go a little slower. Thanks for...

    How do you feel about solo diving?

    Ya' make it sound like someone who choses to dive solo from time to time, is unballanced to the point where they can't interact with others. Are ya' always so aggressive towards those who won't embrace your particular point of view. No one has said they won't dive with those new to the sport...
