That must have been awesome! I am a bit jealous about that... I was in the Wind River Mountains for the 2017 eclipse, and after seeing it on land, I have been itching to experience it underwater. If I don't make it to Biak for this next one, April of 2024 the path of totality goes directly...

Not really dive related, but the last time I was in Papua I flew in through BIK (Biak). If you go that route, and push your trip to be in Biak on April 20th, you will be in the path of totality for a total solar eclipse...

I am not sure about the legality of it, but it is very easy to mix ashes into concrete and make a small memorial that will become part of the reef. PM me if you need any help.

Took my family diving at Alexander Springs, and while we were heading toward the spring depression we scared a 4 to 6ft gator that swam into the reeds. It seemed more scared of us, but maybe because it wasn't very big. It didn't frighten us because the water was so clear. It would have been...

Thank you everyone for your help. I contacted Keith with Sierra Dive Center, and he invited me to join them at Sand Harbor last Tuesday. When I went to the shop a few days before to rent tanks and weights, an employee recommended I take the High Altitude class which included all rentals, and a...

I will be in Reno Saturday the 22 through Tuesday the 25th and would like to dive Lake Tahoe. If anyone has a dive op or shop they would recommend, or would like to join me, please let me know. Thanks!

I participate in a similar program with a Virginia Beach area dive shop. I purchased 2 tanks from them, and I get free air for life. The were used AL 80s, new hydro, vis and repainted. $125 each. The tanks paid for themselves the first year. The difference is that I keep the tanks, and have...

Merpati "pigeon" airlines... One time the plane's landing gear locked up while landing in Wamena... Everone but the regular passengers were flipping out as we were skiding down the runway... For them it was normal... The pilots were real cowboys!

I saw this video of John Hoover, in a surge on Nakalele Point, Maui. Has anyone else experienced something this dramatic? Worse? What did you do? http://youtu.be/rNE-27wY9Js

Believe it or not, your ashes mixed in concrete will actually make the concrete more durable... As you are aware, concrete makes good artificial reefs! My dad agreed that I could immortalise him that way. He hasn't decided if he wants something simple like a book with his name on it, or a...

I go to the Cape Canaveral / Cocoa Beach area a few times a year. Diving Springs (like Blue Spring and Alexander springs) are your closest shore dives. For saltwater shore dives, I have headed south to either Blue Heron Bridge or Lauderdale by the Sea, which is about 2 - 2 1/2 hours. I was...

I will be in the Toronto area October 20 - 25th. I am looking for individuals who would like to go diving. I am open to doing either boat or shore. It would be great to meet fellow divers, and hopefully get in some decent dives. Let me know where and when, I look forward to hearing from you!

You wouldnt be talking about his "Complete Guide to Underwater Modeling" book would you?

You are correct. That is where I was certified. I am sure they did everything possible to save the victim.

Faulty equipment cited in officer death The Chesapeake Chief of Police says that an equipment failure contributed to the death of Officer Timothy Schock.

I highly recommend this outfit. The owner is very flexible and personable. In my experience he has valued service and doing what is right over the dollar. If you have any questions or concerns just ask him. If he can't meet your needs he will refer you to someone who can.

TS&M, Thanks for the article and link, plenty to keep me busy for a while. I enjoy reading papers, but I also enjoy the research that doesnt make it to publication (proposed or underway). I wish there could also be summaries of research that was discontinued with the reasons why. I...
