    climbing and diving

    About 10 years ago when I was heavy into climbing I wrote an essay for publication that was an expression of one of the main reasons I enjoyed climbing: it was all encompassing. The crux of the piece was that when I was on the rock, particularly free climbing, all thoughts of a bad exam grade or...

    Where To Scuba

    There is a very cool dive shop in Boca Raton(just south of Boynton) on Federal Hwy.. I wish I could remember the name.. at any rate, you can't miss it on the Northbound side of the road..look for the flag. I recommend the "Lady-go-Diver" boat. They have some great drift dives and a wreck or...

    1.Awesome 2. Key Largo Dive Trips

    I'll second the vote for Ocean Divers, they are a class act. (not the cheapest... but one of the best big operations around).

    jacksonville

    I can't recommend any operations, I've always dove that area of f a private boat, but be prepared for some currents! Drift diving will probly be the order of the day. HAve fun.

    Devils den?

    The Den is one of the "must do" sites in N. Florida, but as others have said, don't plan on making a week of it! A few things: It will probly be crowded on the weekend. The vis in the man-made section will suck. Don't try to do any UW Nav in the man made section (made that mistake with...

    1st trip to Keys...

    I'm no Keys Expert, but I spent 3 weeks ther in April and I'm going back with my family for 10 days in June. From what I could tell, the upper and middle keys are much more laid back and somewhat more budget minded than the lower keys. As noted above, the Keys are not all about Beaches...

    A disturbing PADI rumor

    First, let me say that I took the PADI IDC/IE about a month ago, and the tables are still a major part of the applicable training (OW, EAN, etc..). That said, I also heard a rumour that Circuit City no longer sells reel to reel audio recorders! (reminds of a rumour that my...

    Spearguns

    No problem.. Good luck. I'll be down your way next Spring. I usally spend a week or two in April at a buddies house in Oceanside. I run a annual charity event in Ft. Lauderdale, this year its scheduled for April 19th-21st. Maybe we can do some hunting together around that time.

    Artifact Question

    No disrespect meant, Onario, but it sounds to me like your LDS owner is a hypocrite. It was fine for him, but now he is more enlightened and we shouldn't be allowed to do it? Seems like he would go ahead and donate those items he found to some historical society if he really felt that it was so...

    Spearguns

    Sara, First of All: Welcome to the board... I'm new to spearguns myself and have found that there aren't a lot of people around here who want to talk about them. You can use the search function on the site to see some of the other threads on this topic that I've started (or tried to...

    OLD Aqualung Calypso....

    Neil.. yeah, it looks like a relic, alright!.... I'll have to come up with a good story about how I came to have it hanging there, though.

    Name that wreck!

    Nat, Thanks, but I was asking "NC" as in: Where is Morehead? (Is it in North Carolina?) So, is it? Meanwhile, I've head that there are a plethora of wrecks including at least one U-boat off the coast of NC, that's why I thought his list might have been from there. I'd like to head...

    Wreck Rights and Wrongs!

    I wasn't refering to a car with bodies in it... Frankly, I would think that any wreck most of us are likely to dive on could've had bodies remoced from it long ago. As far as the site being sacred because of someone died there... uh...Not... What about [insert your own obvious example here]...

    Wreck Rights and Wrongs!

    No offense taken.. I've got my soapbox issues too..;) International waters start 12 miles off the coast, don't they? So if someone was to go off the coast of Canada more than 12 miles, the wrecks would be fair game, right?

    Malta.......January?

    That's about $700 (or less) US, right? I'll look into airfare. I don't know what your style or the local economy are like... how much will you plan on spending for food? I've been known to spend over $150 per person at the right sushi bar for a dinner(last week in Vegas, for example...)...

    Wreck Rights and Wrongs!

    Shouldn't those of you posting "it is illegal" be putting some boundaries on that? What are the rules in international water? What about lakes/rivers ? I would think that there must be different laws in different places. I don't know of any governing body that has jurisdiction over "all...

    Make Good Money as a Scuba Instructor

    I can't believe I'm going this far off topic (..and not addressing the great CD himself...), but: Rstone, How many civil lawsuits has your brother the DA worked on? I know I'm only a full time cop, not a reserve with familiy ties, but I've only known DA's to work on criminal cases. ;)

    Artifact Question

    I think that the only people who should have claim to items in the ocean are the original owners. If the owners of a ship or property on the ship have foregone their right to salvage their stuff, then who are we to say that it has to stay at the bottom of the ocean forever? This reminds me...

    Name that wreck!

    Well, there was a 20' cabin cruiser at the bottom of the quarry in Cerulean kentucky..... :tease: Does the crusher house at the bottom of the quarry count? I got my "wreck experience" dive for AOW inside it? I saw the rusting hulk of the USS Strength about 250 yards (okay, maybe a little...
