If all you want to do is hang in the water column, far from reef structures/bottom, fine. But, if you are like me and want to look for micro life, then there is a REQUIREMENT that you be able to maintain good horizontal trim, keeping body and fins from doing damage.

He was a wife beater. Good actor, but I had no respect for him in real life.

Ernie was a good friend. I used to have such fun cutting up with him at DEMA.

It is with a terribly heavy heart that I make this post..... But, I just lost a long time friend, Max Benjamin....the owner of Walindi Plantation Resort on New Britain Island in Papua New Guinea. My heart is numb. If you've never been to PNG, it's a big loss. If you've never been to Walindi...

There is a reproductive reason seasons are set up. But, sure....allow harvesting during the off season. We can pay for it in the next many legal seasons.

First of all, I don't work for, and have no business connections with Walindi Resort. For over 20 years I have made numerous dive/photo trips there and have developed strong friendships with the people at Walindi and aboard the dive boat MV FeBrina. I hope this plea is something you will...

My trip to PNG has been rebooked for 2022. I don't know if any of you have ever stayed a Walindi Plantation resort on New Britain Island, Papua New Guinea. If you have, you would know that they totally support a huge number of people in the community. Max Benjamin built and supports a school...

I was due to be aboard the MV FeBrina for 20 days in PNG in 2021. Walindi and the FeBrina will need that whole year rescheduling all the crazy cancelled trips. I agreed to postpone rescheduling until 2022, because Max at Walindi and Alan onboard the FeBrina are good friends. As a reward for...

Alan and crew are buds. I've been diving with them for 20 years. I had not purchased airline tickets, yet, and they offered s good deal. I know how much they will be scrambling with all of their cancellations. So, why not work with them? It's why I am always welcomed aboard!

I was supposed to be on the MV FeBrina in PNG mid 2021. Knowing that they are going to be scrambling to rebook all the cancelled trips all through this coming year, I agreed to wait until 2022 to book. They were so appreciative they made it easy to be inboard for a full 30 days straight!! The...

Me too. Karma is a bitch.

Well, these covid deaths have been about a week and a half and growing exponentially. Those flu deaths are for a whole year. Every time I hear someone spout the "flu whataboutism" they totally ignore the Known difference in mortality rates. Today, a preacher who called covid19 no big deal...

We are being hit hard by this sosm. Time to ban some IP adresses!

My first card, in the late 60s, likely were not even on microfilm.

I make copies of all my important data and hide them in multiple luggage pieces. I also carry my log and cards. I find this resistance to carrying a tiny piece of plastic, as well as digital and copies pretty amusing. People find so many ways to complain about minutiae....

Some places you may dive can be so far off the grid they may not have the ability to surf the web for your information. I think this whole arguement is silly. Phones are fallible. They break, get lost, fail to charge etc etc etc. Go ahead and travel three days to get to Triton Bay in West...

My nitrox card is an e-card. I have to pay extra for a physical card which is SOOOO PADI!

I did two back to back 10 day trips on the Philippine Siren. Even that wasn't long enough.....

No!
