Looks like a chance for me to meet some local divers and get back into some diving. Count me in.

Dove there about a month after it opened after a two week work stint in Venezuela. Jump flight from Caracas. Cabbie couldn't find the place it was so new. Had a blast. Sad business, hope they reopen.

good move! Thanks!

LOL You know zee French, they are veerrry snobby. Actually it has been reported, but only in the laboratory and by mixing gametes, not natural mating. Probably the grays are too drab for the flashy French. :cool2:

Grays and French angels belong to a different genus, Pomocanthus. They are more closely related to Rock Beauties than either Blues or Queens (which in are in Holocanthus)

I can remember much better vis than 20 feet in Travis in 1975 when I certed there. Very interesting post--thanks.

I don't know. The dorsal fins don't look right for silversides. Look more like some kind of herring. The #4 are maybe dusky cardinalfish based on the depth and the presence of the indistinct blotch/bar on the peduncle.

#2 is definitely in the porgy family. I think it is a pinfish.

"When stuff like devastating oil spills happens, do you find yourself fantasizing about having unlimited funds, super-duper scientific smarts, weaponry expertise, and international connections so you could go fix the problem while giving the perpetrators their due? Meet Bwana Doc...

It's an eyeopening article and thanks, but a lot of ships are scrapped here in the States and in Europe so I don't know how relevant it is for the fate of many vessels. Given the enormous energy and carbon production of producing steel, recycling is still a better fate for a vessel than dumping...

I'm generally against them. We are better off energy wise recycling the metal (steel or aluminum) than sinking it and having it irreversibly lost. Other than diving, I don't see much utility for them. As far as enhancing fishing opportunities (if we really feel we need to do that) there are...

Sounds like an amphipod of some sort. Size is right and habitat. Probably suborder Gammaridea, but there are thousands of species.

Great talk! More details on the farm would have been good.

Article hereYou've got to wonder when they will make it to Central Texas.

Doesn't look like I'll be able to make it after all. Work stuff.

I saw this article as well. It is very interesting, but inaccurate. There are several groups of animals that live and reproduce anaerobically, in the protozoa, the trichomonads and the parabasalids. as well as a variety of more complex species in the nematodes, trematodes, cestodes, and even...

Lots of fish are confused this way--especially ones in commercial play. Nice pics.

Sandra Bullock's Divorce.

Heart burn is pretty common in divers in my personal experience, but maybe that's just a fluke. Like Inventor, I have acid reflux. I've taken Prilosec, Nexium and now take prescription Acifex for many years with no effect on my diving. Since these drugs lower your stomach acidity, they...

More likely its a male sargeant major going into its courtship colors which are dark blue to purple. But anything is possible.
