Narchotics officer; A member of the "scuba police" rarely seen above 120'. Rumored to be right behind you to enforce the 130' recreational diving depth limits. (also enforces various other SUGGESTED scuba rules to the fullest extent of the law) It is reported this member of law enforcement has...

its tough to dive later in the day due to the winds that pick up after the morning. we have gone on two morning shore dives which were excellent! If you are in the Kihei area, red hills and Ahee he are both great. I plan on going out with ed robinsons also for the three tank adventure and the...

missed you by that much! I am going tomorrow, the 11th, and coming back the 20th. sorry we couldnt hook up. From what i gather if you dive with a company on a regular dive and show your experience, they dont require a night specialty card.

Oh well, I like Ed Robinsons myself. I think maybe I will pretend to be a vacationing tow company owner and "investigate" their excellent service. Good to hear the whales are hanging out waiting for me again. It's been a long winter and I need to dive somewhere I don't have to chainsaw a hole in...

I will be in maui on thursday the 11th thru the 19th. I can go "undercover" and investigate the dive boat in question. Everyone that would like me to do this can send me a P.M. and i will take a donation of a mere $20 per person to cover my investigation. Lets get to the bottom of this!

Does it effect you at night or any other time except diving? If it messes with your sleep patterns or when you eat different foods, you should get a checkup. Once your pyloric valve on the top of your stomach starts to let food back out, it is a degrading situation that might keep getting worse...

Just got back from Maui. We were diving with Ed Robinsons at the Pinnacle by red hill. Kim, our guide told us there might be a shark in the cave underneath it. The guy in front of me shoved his face in the hole to "take a peek" There was shark waiting for a big hook to rot off and fall away. He...

Just a suggestion to prevent problems in the future; Someone is really nice on the phone and says they have the parts in stock, Maybe ask them who they are BEFORE you drive all the way down there? Then when you get a big attitude from the guy that doesn't know anything, you can throw Carl or...

We just got back from Maui, WOO HOO! On the way from Minneapolis to Maui, via seattle on Northwest, I checked 2 bags for free. (my scuba suitcase weighed in at 46 lbs!) But on the way back direct from honolulu to minneapolis, we had to pay $15 for the first bag and $25 for scuba suitcase. Nobody...

He He He, I totally agree. I use expert zoom splits with my drysuit, exactly like the original poster, "Borg" had lost. Someone else said not to use them in an overhead enviroment. Maybe they could explain why? My backup fins are good old jet fins that are 40 years old. I do like both.

A fin will not generate lift under water. Neither will any other shape. (unless it is bouyant of course.) It needs a differential of pressure between the upper surface and lower surface to achieve this. Until water is compressable, there will be no differential in pressure.

Bernoulli's principle works on the theory that AIR moving over an AIRFOIL takes longer to move over and around the top of an AIRFOIL than the bottom of an AIRFOIL. (The AIR over the AIRFOIL is compressed creating a pressure differential between the top and bottom of the AIRFOIL) This low...

Don't skimp on the octo. You might have to rely on it someday.

Did you dislike your zoom splits? I have the same fins and lost one in Lake Superior. I figured i would just buy another pair identical to the other so i would have a spare. A week after my new ones arrived, my dive buddy found the missing one and now i have two pair!

Chocolate "gold" coins in the sand at a wreck site. No matter who sees them, someone will break dive ettiquete and smuggle some to the surface hidden in their b.c. After a while in a pocket at the surface they start to melt and....

This is classic. For some reason (see above) I stopped logging on in september 08. I logged over 50 dives in 07, and only 2 dives in 08. (The wreck of the 2007 chevy colorado and the wreck of the 2007 chevy silverado) It seems like the constant breakdown of differing opinions on this site left a...

I have used a purge mask for over 5 years without a problem. My mask seems to work fine in all temps, depths, and conditions.

I must be missing something. Can you tell me why you are not suppose to have contact with this particular wreck? Is it covered with coral or something else that is protected? It would seem from your avatar picture the last thing you would be concerned with is touching the delicate enviroment.

.45 cents a pound. how much does it weigh?
