    DataPlus download software

    Doe anyone here still have a copy of the Windows 95 software for the DataPlus? I would prefer the program downloaded off the website over the program on the disk, but I will take what I can get. Oceanic is not supporting it anymore, so they took it off the website. Is there possibly a...

    Computer wish list

    I have an old Oceanic Data Plus that has served me well for many years. It has occurred to me that this thing is probably due for a failure just because of age. The desktop interface I have is no longer supported and I see a trend there. What I like about this computer is: It does data...

    Wimping out 24 September

    As much as I would like to sneak a dive in between Small Craft Advisories, I am not going to the Triangle Wrecks tomorrow. This old body is taking longer and longer to heal from things like that.

    Triangle Wrecks 20 August 2005

    I would like to put together a dive for 20 August. The logistics would be pretty easy. We could meet up at Outer Banks Dive Center, ask the people at the shop, and go from there. http://www.obxdive.com/ Plan "A" is the Triangle Wrecks, although there are several others to choose from...

    UNESCO Convention

    I have not seen this link posted anywhere, so here it is. http://www.unesco.org/culture/legalprotection/water/images/engconv.doc I am still figuring out what it really means. What I see in articles is regurgitation of what some third party thinks the document says.

    Heading out Saturday

    We have a couple of people who need to get deep enough for AOW. The initial idea is to go to the tower reef on Saturday, 23 Oct, although we might go to another 60+ site. Sunday is an option if we get blown out Saturday. The shop is Divers Unlimited at 757 362 3660.

    Some unusual dives on the CBBT

    I took two hardy souls out to the the CBBT and we hooked the Yancy wreckage. That was as dark as I have seen it. Lights were no help when we swam into a layer of black water and felt our way down to some bridge decking. After that dive, I planted a buoy and did some depthfinder searching...

    CLT reef 06 June 2004

    I took a group out to the reef Sunday. Fifty-eight on the bottom. A couple of tautog were speared. No spadefish were even sighted. The weather people had me a little worried, but it flattened right out once we got past Cape Henry. There were plenty of boats fishing the tower itself.

    Chesapeake Light Tower

    We took some AOW students out to the tower reef both Saturday and Sunday. The weather word Saturday was for 15 knot winds. The winds didn't show up. Sunday was flatter still. Bottom temps were measured at 48-50 degrees. The divemaster bagged an 18 inch tautog. It's still a bit nippy...
