Another question to ask yourself is whether you only plan on using the strobe to be seen by your boat and civilians or if you want the best chance of being spotted by a military SAR team. We’re having a meeting with the AF PJs in a few weeks to discuss this as they are having much better...

Unless you want to do some chilly water hunting with poor visibility I’d be tempted to head south to West Palm or Jupiter rather than diving up around the Cape. It might change again in the next couple days, but some friends were saying the only thing that made the dives here worthwhile...

A friend of mine in Houston even called complaining about the cold there today, and my business partner in Fort Collins told me to shut up because it was 10 below when he fed the horses this morning. Now, is that red coat DIR?

Happy Birthday Capt. and have fun in Saba.

She studied under the Danny Devito school of interviews after he got so much publicity for his drunken time on the View.

Then I guess some of us must really be older as I’d be very happy to spend a week offshore with Lauren Hutton as a dive buddy.

I can’t believe it took me 50 years of living in the Midwest from Texas to Wyoming before I smartened up and moved to Florida. And I was complaining I forgot to take a jacket with me on the motorcycle today and was getting chilly after the sun went down. Wipe down all the rubber gaskets on...

Over the past 45 years I’ve seen reefs get worse, better, than worse again in some areas, and just completely different in other areas – and who is the one to say that a different reef ecosystem is better than another one? On the whole, I think many popular reefs are under a lot of...

As for accidentally activating them, G activated ELTs are much worse and we’ve had plenty of false alarms over the years. I had to chase one half way across Missouri from the air before we figured out which pickup truck to have stopped after he’d accidentally tossed it in the back...

Ouch – some of the worst freezing fog I’ve encountered is about 100 miles west of Bastrop over in the hill country around Kerrville and I can’t recall much east of San Marcos. When the dew point and temperature get within 2 or 3 degrees of each other and the temp falls just below freezing – that...

Kind of like some of the more obscure liveaboards in remote parts of the world I've been on - with lots of alcohol after the days dives. Now that’s international discussions with dive culture – and enough booze and everyone has the same number of working brain cells. I have a...

And, Andy and I were in agreement on most points so what does that tell you about the end times. :D

First of all weather has no emotions or motives so it can’t be bad – it can only be inappropriate for a given person’s plans. :D Maybe this will help. Freezing rain – really nasty if you have to get out in it. This is rain that is falling through air just at or...

Oh young one. No woman can wear the title of hot until you’ve seen them dive – sky, scuba, or whatever. :eyebrow:

And we all love our favorite cheerleader too. :10:

Congratulations and keep setting the standard for Keys dive operators to strive for.

I can’t remember why it came up, but it came up a couple years ago in a conversation with Ken Blackwell regarding whether Tammy would support his run for Ohio governor – is that obscure enough. I just remembered it because I thought she’d be a hoot for a dive buddy sometime. Yes, Libertarians...

Yes, I know I view the world a little different than most, but I find this thread really highlights the differences between the US and many countries today. For years the US has had the most liberal and open safe-shore amnesty policy for Cubans escaping one of the most repressive regimes in...

Don’t make me agree with you on this one. :no :rofl3: State or Commerce would probably prevent the sale of a US chain to a Saudi company unless a compromise on the laws was formalized in advance.

Interesting that anyone in Europe could find room to consider this discrimination – let alone racist – given their behavior toward white South Africans during the apartheid era of the 70s and 80s. European governments and businesses thought nothing of not serving or allowing white...
