    Scary experiences with aquatic life

    Well, I guess that pretty much blows my Seargeant Major episode out of the water, lol! Very nice footage, I just added this to my "next place to visit" list. What time of year was this, or can you see sharks in numbers like that year-round?

    Scary experiences with aquatic life

    If I recall correctly, this happened around Sunset Point, Grand Cayman years back. At the end of a pretty cool dive, I was coming back toward shore and got between some huge rocks. Depth was approx. 15 feet, so I figured I'd just check out the rocks and what was living around them for a nice...

    Help with fish ID

    Not sure about the one in the sand, but the one being eaten looks like a flying gurnard to me. Perhaps someone with more i.d. experience will chime in. Great pic by the way!

    Bathophobia & Acrophobia: Are They Linked?

    2 Tours, I think it's relative. I can climb tall ladders, work from them and not be uncomfortable. But a while back I had the opportunity to be on the roof of my office building, 32 stories tall in downtown Denver. When I crept up very carefully and looked over the edge it kinda took my...

    What does "intelligence" or "niceness" have to do with it?

    Hey Charlie, sorry to inform you. Bambi was quite tasty!

    Resort recommendations for Cozumel

    Here's a second vote for the Fiesta Americana. I just got back from there Sunday night. It's clean, has good food and service, saves boat travel time for diving due to it's location, and is a pretty darn good value if you ask me. I have used Dive with Martin on two different trips there and...

    Purge mask fiasco

    Shannonjon22, Here's a possible solution for your pain-in-the-nose mask. I use a purge mask and it hurt my nose the first few dives, too. In mine, there was a little piece of plastic that holds the soft part of the valve in place. This little sprig of plastic was about 1/8th of an inch long...

    Aurora Res. some Q's

    Sure, lots of people out there will definitely stir things up. But, like you are guessing, the vis can be pretty good during the week. I have seen it as good as 15 or 16 feet before, late in the week. Water temp. and therefore the amount of algae, etc. will also affect the vis. 2 to 4 feet...

    RMO T-Shirts

    That sounds great. I can picture a crazy steer with SCUBA gear on, or something like that. But, I'm no artist. I'd buy one, though.

    Overheard at the beach....

    So, did you try to get them back in the water to save them? Oh, I'm gonna pay for that one...

    Dove "Top of the Island" today

    Hi WallDiver, What lake were you in? 20' vis is pretty good for a lake, I agree. That was some chilly water at the bottom, though. Almost makes me cold just thinking about it. Glad you had fun!

    Nemrod, I can't believe you didn't try to get him to buy a Whaler! :)

    Mask Clearing Video for Noobs

    Hey SparticleBrane, you're correct. Now, people, what's so hard about doing a demonstration like that? You can clearly see what the guy is doing, and doing it very efficiently, I might add. Note the LACK of extra bubbles coming out the bottom of his mask after it is cleared, thus allowing him...

    Shark Bait Dive Club, Lakewood, Colorado

    Haha, yes, I'll take the real thing, no offense. I'll let you know how it was when everyone meets in June. I'm really looking forward to being involved with a group that meets regularly and talks about diving. This will be approx. my 7th time down there. I have a friend, Markus, who owns...

    Mask Clearing Video for Noobs

    I hope this person doing the demonstrating watches the video. It's a prime example of how to utterly confuse students. That was ridiculous! Although I did not watch SparticleBrane's video, it HAD to be much better. If that person is really a course director, it's sad. Wow! Mask...

    Shark Bait Dive Club, Lakewood, Colorado

    Well, I just can't seem to catch a break. I'll be diving in the Dominican Republic when the May meeting takes place. The June date looks good, though. I'll look forward to meeting more of you then. Thanks for keeping us up to date with meeting times, etc. Please continue!

    Shark Bait Dive Club, Lakewood, Colorado

    DOH!!!! I'm working the evening of the 18th. But, I'll catch you soon. One thing to note, A couple friends and I do an "annual crawfish grab/boil" at Aurora Res. I'll post the date on here and hopefully see lots of you there for it. As I said, I already know a bunch of folks on the list and...

    Shark Bait Dive Club, Lakewood, Colorado

    Hi there Shark Whisperer, This looks like a fun club and I would like to attend your meeting. However, your website states a date different than April 25th. Is April 25th correct? I hope so, because I'm off that day and can make it, if so. Also, I already know a bunch of people on...

    got a new to me boat

    Congrats on your new boat, nizzy! First let me say I like your sense of humor. You actually used the words "fair price" when talking about boat motors. I second the above suggestions to get the most motor the boat is rated for, as long as gas consumption is not a major concern. I have an...
