    I bet that diver was happy to see those again. Lucky they weren’t hit by a prop.

    Things you've found under water

    What a lucky old Dutchman. I found some false teeth at the beach on the Chesapeake Bay, my first thought was more towards a Sopranos type scenario.

    Things you've found under water

    Hi all, was wondering if anyone has found native artifacts off Virginia or Maryland Eastern Shore while diving? I just read an article about how many of the indigenous cultural areas are now under water off the coast. I was curious if any amateur divers have come across any signs while diving?

    Diver Death Virginia Beach

    This is all true, but as divers we know our own health and what we are physically capable of on any given day. So often we see divers who aren't even close to top physical condition and unless a person appears ill would a crew member prevent such a person from splashing? Do we expect the crew to...

    Diver Death Virginia Beach

    In my short dive career I have dove with six different dive operators both six pack and cattle boats and what I have learned is regardless of the operator, you as the diver are responsible for your own safety as a diver, other than, as stated, the taxi ride out and back. We as divers are the...

    Brainy the Sand Tiger Shark

    Drama, drama, drama! Robert, sorry I ruffled your superior, diving ability feathers. In future I will be sure to hang on your every post so I may learn from my betters. smellzlikefish makes a logical point about Brainy's wound but looking at the edges I'm still thinking something bit her. I...

    Brainy the Sand Tiger Shark

    I was thinking about Robert's comment and I wondered, he appaerears to not be able to sex a shark and enjoys insulting females, Robert are you a quarry diver? Dumpsterdiver, females sharks tend to be bigger than their male counterparts so I would sumize that their brains are bigger....

    Brainy the Sand Tiger Shark

    Robert while I didn't think your comment was of high comedic value, I'm pretty sure you meant it as humorous and chose to take it that way. Haha Actually I'd say Brainy has a pretty resilient brain, also the mark of a female. :p @ fpsn, thanks.

    Arizona couple share Malaysia boat sinking experience

    I was a candidate to join this boat as a educator and do a shark count this week. They replaced the vessel but feeling a little less bummed out that I wasn't picked for the trip.

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

    Some see life forms with homes, even families and partners; sadly others see commodities. This will never change. It makes me sick as I empathize with the former. The sad news of what is going on in our oceans seems to out weigh the positive so many days. All I can say is, fight for the marine...

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

    I was blessed to be given a tour my third time at the bridge and felt privileged and over joyed to finally see creatures I'd missed previously. It is just so infuriating to know there are people out there that take for their own benefit things that bring others such joy. It is the reality of our...

    Shark Off the Menu

    Yes parts of Florida are blessed with large shark populations at specific times of the year. There have been many articles about discoveries of shark nurseries and migratory wintering in Florida. So yes Florida has sharks in plenty. This said, not eating them is probably a good idea as the...
