Had an interest in this one a few years back. Being on the windward side of the lake on the weekends I was there didn't pan out. I also discounted Chris Kohl's diving guide information about it being found in the shallows. Congratulations to Yvonne Drebert and Zach Melnick for this amazing...

Looking for images of salvagers near the turn of the last century or earlier looking for "deep" water wrecks. I saw an old glass plate negative of a device that had 10 grapples on it and was used to check underwater telegraph wires taken in the 1890s. Does anyone have photos to share or point...

Unfortunately it looks like the Repulse and Prince of Wales has now been heavily damaged by an illegal Chinese operation within Malaysia's EEZ. I'm not against salvage on most wrecks, but warships are things not to be touched without permission from the government who owns them...

It's been almost a decade since Worthington stopped their production in Ontario on their steel tanks. There was a rumor here in 2019 that they were still waiting for their special permit for manufacturing them before Covid hit. So will we ever see Worthington or a successor make the cold...

A fascinating little teaser clip on the Canadian side of the Detroit River. Remember that on the American side, diving within city limits is prohibited by an 1954 ordinance.

I would have asked some actual scuba divers in the area first. https://easyreadernews.com/free-divers-survey-matador-wreck/

I know it's a long shot, but I'm hoping one of you locals around the Lake Champlain area can help me. I am currently in the process of building a 1/4 scale model of the gundalow Philadelphia/ Spitfire and was wondering if anybody recalls a painting of her at night about to founder after the...

I've had my aluminum deco bottles set up in my heated garage for the year as I have not done any technical stuff this year. My aluminum 40 filled with O2 hasn't been touched since I put them there last March. I leave the house at 3pm and return to at 4am and hear a hissing noise coming from...

Here in Michigan it is state law to have a cut off switch and safety lanyard for vessels smaller than 22ft. I wonder what the enforcement measures will be and how it can be implemented on older boats or smaller cruisers. New Boat Engine Cutoff Switch Law Goes Into Effect April 1 : BoatUS News Room

@Diverdon, Saw this on a newsfeed and was wondering if it's in your neck of the woods and if you have information on it? Jared

Has anyone dove or searched for the Regina that was lost between Cove Island and mainland? Currently reading "The Bruce Beckons" and the story is that her masts was sticking above the surface in 9 fathoms of water just off the "north bank". In June of 82 the wreck was declared a total loss and...

What the heck is this? Rockport neighbors sue town over scuba diving ‘nuisance’

I have put off posting this for awhile. Mostly for personal reasons and privacy, but as divers we have to analyze what goes wrong and how to prevent it. Never in my lifetime would I have thought I would be posting this on the most dreaded forum in this website. However here we go... My father...

It seems that NOAA and Titanic LTC are heading for a court battle after an International agreement over who owns the wreckage and what is permitted by this treaty on the salvage of artifacts. Personally, I think that NOAA and the UK have no authority as she lies even outside the US EEZ...

Our group used this light as a reference point while searching for the wrecks in that area. I'm sad to see it destroyed. Owen Sound, ON – The landmark lighthouse at Lion’s Head, Ont., was destroyed over the weekend during a storm that also caused hydro outages, downed trees and poor driving...

Most of our normal suppliers don't have any Helium in store. Most welding shops in the area are critically low and suppliers are saying they are back ordered to February. I heard some of you guys in the west are completely out. Anyone know what's going on? Its seems that balloon suppliers are...

I consider myself a pro salvage and non government intervention type of diver, but this catastrophe happening in the Pacific is gut wrenching. My family and thousands of others fought some brutal battles from Java to Okinawa where many still lie entombed in the ships they were in. I hope...

Hi yall, I have been looking for the Blue camo jet fins. My understanding is that they are not sold here in North America. Has anyone ever ordered a set from overseas or have any suggestions? TIA
