I think most of the arguments here are about as an alternative navigation tool - it should be thought of as a COMPLEMENT to all your advanced training as a diver.
Anything that can add to a divers safety would be a plus too, dontcha think?
Then there's the fun aspect - geocaching underwater...
First thing that came to mind was Dennis, aka "Pez de Diablo" here on SB - anyone heard from him lately? His last post was back in Dec. 06.
Hope everyone is battened down and safe through this!
Congrats Matt!
Just finished watching the segment on the Today show. You're kinda like a test pilot, you know... testing unknown systems, experiencing a new world. Reminds me alot of the astronaut's stories - you're a PIONEER! Hope this opens up a lot of possibilities for you and many...
I just finished watching it here in the Midwest - good segment! Congratulations Matt! I'm headed to the other forums to see that you logged your bottom time! :)
One of the first thoughts in my mind was that you are a pioneer, and may open up the beautiful underwater world to so many more...
I love all the ideas expressed here - lately I've been using GPS at work and it's starting to give me ideas for more practical applications for divers. When I've really thought them out, I'll share them here.
I also plan on using my contacts with the GPS industry support folks to ask them...
Welcome to the Big Red One soldier! Hooooahhhh!
Most of the semi-decent places to dive around here are in the southern part of Missouri on the MO-AR border area - Table Rock, Bull Shoals.
IF you fine some good diving in Kansas let us know! (Reminds me of the "Ski Kansas" posters of the...
Dennis,
Hope you guys are hunkered down, somewhere high and safe from the weather. Give us a report as soon as you can, let us know you're alright and your family is safe!
Oh, and when I come down to dive w/you, I'll bring my 3mm full suit!
Another CPAP user here - could never figure out why I felt like crap all the time, even after a full night's sleep.
I wasn't a big snorer - but I was literally stopping breathing in the middle of the night! My brain would send the alert out, and my body would jerk itself awake.
I'm much...
Kinda like swing dancin' in a phone booth, huh? LOL
Anyone getting into "dive-yakking" should check out Jim Spears' site: http://kayakdiver.com/kayakdiving/topics.htm
Lots of good tips there, and things he's learned from trial and error.
Hey there Floridawannabe! Welcome to SB! Come...
Thanks for the report, James!
I was there at Hidden Worlds when the IMAX crew was filming shots for the movie. I was going into Dos Ojos as they were coming out.
At first we just saw a boatload of gear, I initially had a bad feeling that this was a recovery. Turned out to be an IMAX...
Just saw this flick last night... not the best movie for sure, but then again - my expectations weren't very high to begin with.
I liked the fact that it was shot in digital video, and was home brewed. For those facts, it was a pretty good project. Acting? bad. Flow? bad. Script...
Dennis has posted here before... I dived @Tulum and Hidden Worlds several years ago, and when I return I plan on going to Dennis' place.
Thanks for the write-up!
I'm gonna go look for the new DVD of the Abyss!
Does anyone else out there have the latest edition of "Wired" magazine with James Cameron on the cover?
It's a special issue with Cameron as the guest editor... all about exploration, under the waves and out in space! Check it out!
