Not sure where this should be posted, Im not even sure of reaction other than shock. We saw a pod of dolphins on our last dive, just cant imagine this. Group: Stressed, bloody dolphins await slaughter in Japan's Taiji Cove - CNN.com I understand the need for food, but I dont think this is in...

While in Kona over the holidays, we did a few dives with Jacks Diving Locker and ended up doing one of the best dives I have been on. They even blogged a bit of it Whale Shark Sighting after the New Year | Jack's Diving Locker My whole family dives and one of my daughters was bringing her...

I have some great shots of camera barrel. Anyone interested? It was green. See I didnt press the gopro button at the start of the dive, but I did press it just before I put it in the camera barrel. Whats the dumbest thing you have done with your camera. (and yes I still count a go pro as a...

2014 LUNOCET | Quote from Foot-Fins Allow Humans to Leap Dolphin-Like From the Water | Gadget Lab | Wired.com The Lunocet is a hydrofoil for your feet, a kind of swishing fishtail that will propel you through the water like Aquaman. The device clamps on to the feet, which are kept together, and...

So my wife and two daughters, all divers, are headed to Kona on Dec 26 to Jan 5. Two of their friends decided to join us. We convinced them that if they were coming, they better be ready to learn to dive. As my one daughter stated, going on a vacation with dad means were going underwater...

Hi we are headed to Kona at the end of Dec to Jan. Can any recommend wetsuit thickness? Or water temps we can expect? Thanks

I need some advice from the locals. We are headed to the Kona Coast for 10 days at Christmas. There are 6 of us diving, Advanced to two newly certified divers. I have looked at all of the dive ops, and there are some very good looking operations. But a thought occurred to me yesterday while...

I just returned from 12 wonderful days in Cozumel where I completed 18 dives. (very sad to be home now) My normal partner, my daughter spent most of the time sick and only managed 4 dives. The rest of my dives were with insta buddies. Most were absolutely great! except for 2. In each case...

My wife decided to join my daughter and myself diving. I should have signed her up at the same Shop my daughter and I used, but its an hour drive and their pool times are less than optimum. I screwed up and changed shops. I have been through 2 OWD courses each with 5 or fewer people. There...

We were sitting around having a beer after a weekend at the mx track on the weekend and started talking about some of the "accidents" that we have been in. Most of them were "on the easy stuff". Even stuff like riding back to the pits riding between trailers, etc. IE, the stuff that was too...

Personal Sub If an octopus’s garden in the shade is where you like to be then this two-person submarine could be just the ticket. Capable of descending to a depth of 1,000 feet the Personal Submarine gives you and a friend a chance to check out coral reefs, shipwrecks and whatever other...

Bioshpere 2? Now this would be really cool!

In reading it seems that a lot of people are into "Deep" diving. My question is: "Whats down there?". I have very limited experience, and I admit to being fascinated with the pretty fishes around a reef. Some of my best experiences, like the time the dolphins came to check me out, were...

Ok, done some of the tropics stuff. Convinced my wife that trip out to the BC coast could be fun even if she doesnt dive. Now comes the fun part, BUYING STUFF! :bounce4: But before I go the store and buy everything they recommend, I would like to start with a list that isnt dependant upon...

So I want to dive off the island. I have sailed the inside straight, now its time to dive. I am a new diver, only done the mexico vacation. Done a TON of snorkling. All warm water stuff. I want to do a trip, possibly a live aboard this summer. Looking for recomendations here. The...

Ok so your 2 year old antique regulator needs replacing with the latest "Easy Breath" regulator with shiney new sticker on the front. The price is only $$$$$. But, life cannot go on until it is in your kit bag? Do you: Ask your significant other if you can purchase it and live with the...

Ok, in my OW class we were taught how to breath from a free flowing reg. Good skill to teach. But what seemed absent was this: 1. Reg starts to free flow. Had my buddy hold the purge. 2. Grabbed my alt reg, breath off of that. 3. Kink the Reg hose, probably bad for the hose, but wanted...

This may seem like a silly question but I have to ask. We just finished a 12 day diving trip and finally watched the videos (if I knew how to convert the dvd's, I would post a clip) I have done a lot of snorkle/skin diving. I used a pair of solid free frog fins for a good 12 - 15 years...

So simple and yet so Irish... So Paddy asks Murphy, "Why do Scuba divers always fall backwards off their boats?" To which Murphy replies, "You thick idiot, if they fell forwards they'd still be in the ******in' boat" We just got back from Playa Del Carmen and 12 days of diving. My...

So where is a good place for an explanation of these? According to my wife I am a very techy guy and a Dork In a Rutt. But I am sure these have different meanings when talking about diving?
