I have at least 25 lbs. of soft lead (loose) that I'd gladly donate to someone's cause. I also have 75 lbs. (+/-) of fishing weight-type lead that's collecting dust. Lastly, I have a mold that I would loan to anyone interested. Interested? Send me a PM; I don't log on here often. Cheers~

While on Grand Cayman, I had a different problem with my XR2 that I purchased (new) almost 2 years ago. Upon activation, 'ALT' would appear on the screen then the computer would immediately power off. Once home, I did some research and scoured the manual, I could not find an answer. I...

Bahama Divers is another option and a couple of minutes from the Nassau port (much closer than Stuarts Cove) in Yacht Haven. I went with BD on a two-tank dive Sat, Nov 29, and the dives were fantastic. The first dive was The Lost Blue Hole - 91', 40 min; second dive was a shallow reef - 25'...

I've never attended a M&G, hopefully I can make this my first. Cheers, Jeff

I agree with Clinton; and, to take one more step -- it's my understanding that coralline alga are of the Kindom Protist. Protists are unicellular organisms and can exist independently or colonially. Moving over to ID the specimen in Dave's picture -- that's WAY beyond me; there are...

It's been my experience that reaching depths of 40'+ requires a SIGNIFICANT distance from shore and much of the site is in the 30' range. If conditions permit, I forego much of a surface swim by entering through the rocks on the northeastern area of the turn-out parking area. Under the...

Congrats for the new addition to your family. Surely Otter is fortunate to have been rescued by you and yours.

A note of caution about diving the wharf – Saturday, July 5, 2008, a group of three was diving Monterey’s commercial wharf when they encountered an upset angler. During the dive, the topside fisherman was angry because of the divers’ presence stating the divers were...

Without reservation, I can recommend John Cooper, MD. On several occasions, Dr. Cooper has evaluated my fitness for SCUBA diving and I am extremely satisfied with his thoroughness. If you have any specific questions regarding the type of evaluation, send me a PM. John R. Cooper, M.D...

Larry, With all due respect, I'm not so sure I believe your wife! Are you SURE she didn't set-up that picture??? Anyway, great pictures (as always)! I'm sure I speak for others when I say, I'm looking forward to the pictures you'll bring back from Utila. Have a safe and fun trip. Jeff

I think I'll do yard work... http://weather.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/fmtbltn.pl?file=forecasts/marine/coastal/pz/pzz560.txt

If someone hasn't already done so, perhaps a quick call to local dive shops and a post on Yahoo's 'ba_diving' would help, too. Thanks for the post! Jeff

Blades, Thanks for the follow-up. Jeff

You'll find seals, sea otters, sea lions in the areas described by the others. On a quasi different note, my wife and I took a whale-watching trip yesterday (4/27) with Sancutary Cruises out of Moss Landing (<20 miles north of Monterey). We encountered approximately 15 humpback whales and...
