On a large pile of smokin' A'a, the most isolated population center on the face of the earth. 2,175 miles to Alaska, 2,390 miles to California; 3,850 miles to Japan; 4,900 miles to China; 5,280 miles to the Philippines.
Here's a nice (but kinda "puff") piece that PBS did on Sylvia Earle.
I have an ulterior motive, at about 5 minutes into the piece there's a sequence where the Deep Rover is being launched off a white ship (the R/V Undersea Hunter). Standing on the deck just to the right of the sub is yours truly.
I refuse to believe that corporations are people until Texas executes one.
"Too often ... people enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought" - Leapfrog
"They are the McDonalds of diver certification. Quick, inexpensive and tasty. Pardon me for saying so, but I also believe it to be a health hazard." - DCBC
"It truly does boil down to motivation ... if you believe something is hard, or unnecessary to learn, you won't learn it ... even if it's completely within your capability" - Bob (Grateful Diver)
Personally, for an undergrad degree in marine biology (that was conducive to scuba diving) I'd go with a public university in either Florida, California, and Hawaii. There's a nice school in Washington state that has a really good undergrad program, but it's name eludes me.
I'm looking for some information to assist Veterans in using VA benefits toward Scuba Diving courses. I was directed by the VA to conduct a labor survey. I have a form that has about 13 basic questions to ask employers. Basically what I need is contact information for companies that hire divers, not just instructors, such as Training agencies, Magazines, research centers and anyone who would need to hire divers in more than just instructor situations. Please contact me at garthak(at)gmail.com if you might have contact information. The respons to these surveys will aid in the future use of GI BILL benefits towards certifications.
