Bull.

Neither. Or, both really. I agree with what you said about people needing to be accountable for their own actions. I'm not arguing with you. I'm saying that there is more to it than poor teaching of the basics of scuba. I'm assuming that you are a self sufficient diver. Many are not. At...

Funny you should ask... I left working at a shop because of this exact issue. And, I'm currently fighting (daily) against DM's being forced to take more than 6 divers at a time where I work now. There are a few DM/captains that refuse to work in the industry or have left to form their own...

I feel your pain, and I stand behind your comment. Keep in mind that the owners (I mean the ones that write the checks) are the real downward rolling boulders in this up hill battle. And many Captains won't stand up to them because they "need" the paycheck. Some ops have started putting more...

Here's one from a Black Water night dive. The tentacles were about 12 feet long. http://www.scubaboard.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=37869&stc=1&d=1176575958 Box Jelly.jpg

Thats the one

wow...so did they want to eat you? No how did it effect you mentally, BTW? --The photo shows 10, really there were between 40 and 60. I watched and photographed nature taking it's course for about 6 hours. I was drained and traumatized by the event. I didn't talk about it much, and I still...

Here you go Brian. In case you can't see the image too clearly..... there are 10 tigers in this shot. No photoshop tricks here, with the exception of my name and conversion to black and white. It is a very real untainted shot from Nov 13 2006. physically I am fine, mentally I am changed...

I finally got around to logging onto the Division of Aquatic Resources website. http://www.hawaii.gov/dlnr/dar/ Click Here At the top of the page are the links to the animals that are regulated, as well as color pics of lobsters, both male and female with helpful tips for telling the...

Aloha FoShezzie. Lets get started on the happy foot. Spearfishing in Hawaii is a delicate subject. You have the right idea if you plan to eat what you hunt, and only take what you need, IE the minimum that you need. Outsider or not, you most likely won't be looked upon favorably if you have a...

A friend and fellow captain said last week: "all that equipment and electronic crap and that talent and skill you THINK you have as a boat handler and captain is in order to get you IN to the harbor safely, not so you can get OUT of the harbor". He included a few choice words and phrases after...

You can find it at the Diving "Podcast" site, or here at Big Island Divers. I have a few pics on the work website. Enjoy

I think this is a female "Aurelia Labiata", not the Aurita. The eight major lobes making up the bell of the Labiata have notches that make the bell appear to have 16 lobes. The Aurita does not have these notches. I am calling it female because the male has long filaments of sperm, although...

ouch!

Hey Jimbo, about the Crown of Thorns hospitalization, do you have areas of your hand that have no feeling due to the COT hit? I had one small COT spine in the tip of my finger 3 months ago and I still cannot feel the tip of my finger. (maybe I should have been wearing gloves HAHAHA) Seriously...

Great find Blue!! Please contact the Oahu Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR) and let them know what,when, and where, with the tag number.

sweeet

Should be a fun day. How long are you going to be in town?

Sorry you don't live in Kona. Big Island Divers has them for $160. Or, you can buy a 100 air fill card for $380 and the tank is free. BTW, gloves are on special for $35

Now that right there is funny. :coffee:
