I have a Dive Rite dual. After spending the winter in my dive bag it would not turn on this Spring. Disgusted as this was only it's second season, I threw it on my bench and left it for almost three months with out batteries. When I got back to it I decided to put a battery in just in case...

A couple of older divers used to harvest boat anchors from the fishinng hot spots on Foote Pond by Old Orchard Park. The site is west of Oscoda on the Au Sable.

Hoping to find out about the death on the Cedarville in Mackinaw. The news said he was from Minnesota and on a private boat Also i heard someone went to the Alpena chamber this last weekend. They were brought back to Rock Port so i would assume they were doing the tech wrecks up there.

I have a dive shop and was looking at carring these inexpensive cameras until this year. I have seen two DC1400's this summer and they both flooded. The first customer said it was his second, the first being replaced under warranty. This first camera flooded on their very first dive IN A...

Better talk to the minnow about where to get fills when passing through the U.P. After Whitefish it is very had to get an air fill, Pete Lindquist in Munising is about it. The shop in Marquette has closed. On the other hand the U.P. is camping nirvana. Copper Harbor and the Porky Pine...

It's a divers physiological ink blot test.... So you see a Sea Witch, hmmm Did your mother breast or bottle feed you? What are your Freudian feelings toward you mother? A very interesting case...

It was detuned, turned in, to the Max. I checked the IP and it was a bit high, 152psi. So I am taking it down to 142the to see if that helps. ---------- Post added January 19th, 2013 at 02:40 PM ---------- That is NOT a cold water reg! Use at your own risk in water less than 50. There...

I like the idea of a seperate exhaust from the diaphram. I went to the zeta to get this then Oceanic abandoned that reg too. My only failure was using it on a FF, Super Mask. Because of the mask I did not have my mouth on the mouthpiece and was not aware of the reg flooding. The dive was...

A friend who tows his boat had a discussion with a state trooper. Since the dot is clamping down on small tows, those over 10,000 lbs combined which some trucks would exceed even without a trailer. Any who apparently the drug program he was on for his 100 ton was not acceptable for the DOT...

I get particually irrate by those reccomending regulators who consider 40 degrees cold. I have dove many Oceanic regs and took my SR1 out yesterday for a dive. Air temp in the low 20's water 34. The failure rate increased logrythmically as you approach the freezing point of the water you are...

The only complaint I had was the omega II was a wet breather. Not being too fond of sea water , yuck! Oh, and when ice diving the wet could freeze...but after that I found a leak in the mouth piece. It doesn't appear to have an aexternal djustable breathing adjustment. I drilled a small...

One theory is that the mis-charting of Caribou Shoal would carry no small amount of government liability if it was proven the Fitz bottomed out on it and left some of her pieces between the wreck site and the shoal. :(

Nanny mentality, their efforts to prevent ANYONE from being injured will have us all living in a padded cell and will not even come close to accomplishing that goal. This is the first step towards new regulations and the associated fines. I was using old, sturdy life rings on a saftey line...

Isn't seven short a special salute for PWC's?

Still a "Company Representitive" is still allowed to ride without diminishing the 6 paying customers of a 6 pak.

A friend got pulled over by the State Police for a wide load...his boat. And was told that he needed DOT numbers on his truck, Inspections, and a DOT approved drug test program. The one he was on for his liscense was not DOT approved so he would have to be on two ra ndom testing programs...

When visiting be aware that there are a lot of buoys missing up here. I am aware of the following: Portland Nordmeer VanValkenburg Thew Barge #1 New Orleans (shallow) The Middle Island sinkhole buoy is out in the middle of the hole so you would be better off anchoring between the Island...

Had diver out and surface temps are mid 50's and bottom in the upper 40's. Viz 40-50 feet. Enjoy!

I do not grapple into wooden wrecks for fear of breaking something divers brought up from below and put on deck. I have repeatedly returned ceramic items below decks only to have them re-appear latter that year. I motor up wind a hundred feet or so before dropping anchor. I only let enough...

The only reason to spear those fish is fertilizer :-) Too bad they didn't add good eating fish like Burbot and Whitefish that were removed.
