I won't watch, too depressing.

Extinction is inevitable, we just shouldn't accelerate the process.

Actually it won't, the planet we humans will leave behind will be a polluted cesspool devoid of complex life.

Judging from many of the glib comments regarding environmental concerns, I do not see fellow divers as conservationists for the most part.

It's all about personal preference. My computer neither adds nor takes away from my diving experience.

You have faith in nature, but I have no faith in humans, and the scale of current environmental destruction by humans is not natural nor repairable by nature.

I want to see things change for the better, but I cannot picture the widespread cooperation among governments, industries, and individuals to course correct and preserve our aquatic environment.

Tis better not to think of such things and enjoy the present. Twenty five plus years from now will not be a pretty sight for the health of our oceans.

My checkout dives were done with cheap sporting goods mask snorkel and fins. I borrowed the neighbor's stab vest with no inflator attachment and his regulator. I wore thick socks since I didn't have booties and barely scraped enough together for the open water fees. It was a great time!

As my name suggests, I look like a complete doofus when I dive.

Very unfortunate

I am not seeing the part where getting the infection is his fault.

I am pretty sure you are not speaking from experience!

Pony bottle with colorful paint scheme. Nothing really new or original.

Perhaps a mix of all of the above

Too little too late. For every one they confiscate, there are ten more that haven't been found.

Unload as much weight as possible as you approach shore. Carrying an unconcious victim is a lot of dead weight, and you will likely be taxed from the dive already.

Brick and mortar retail in general is a dying breed, it is no surprise that diving is following suit.

My logging and failure thereof is just a product of laziness. I have the card, I go on a few vacation dives here and there, and have little need for a journal.

I once asked my open water instructor if I should go the teaching route. His response was "sure, as long as you have another source of income!" I know he was joking around but there is so much truth to it. Teach because you enjoy teaching, not because you are looking for a career.
