Getting coverage and awareness is a bit like rolling a snowball down a hill. This means that for the petition the second 10,000 signatures will be a lot easier to get than the first 100. We are at the point now where we could get some momentum going. So anything that anyone does to increase...

Oh ye of little faith. Sit back and watch the world go to hell in a handcart. Why bother lifting a finger even trying? FYI The Chinese, with the Olympics coming up, are very sensitive to worldwide press coverage. If we got 100,000 signatures, printed it out and delivered it to the front...

Stop Shark Slaughter. Petition is over 1,000 signatures now. So I have issued a press release to try and make more progress: Petition to President of China Reaches 1,000 Signatures To: Hu Jintao president of the People's Republic of China. Currently the Chinese people are eating a soup...

With the Olympics coming up the Chinese are very sensitive. Already some countries are talking of not going because of human rights issues. If this petition were to get a few thousand names then it would become news and I would get a PR company to spread the word. We could stage an event like...

Thank you everyone who has voted. This could take off! http://www.petitiononline.com/SharkS/petition.html "To: Hu Jintao president of the People's Republic of China. Currently the Chinese people are eating a soup which is causing the biggest ecological disaster of our time. Supplying the...

More people in the USA are killed by vending machines than by sharks each year.

The videos of the idiot catching the juvenile shark by hand, parading it up the beach and showing off his wounds.

Good Bull Shark Video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKkr0Q-c69Y

Jets are excellent for manoeverabilty, they last forever and their negative buoyancy is good for trim. However they are a long way from being the most powerful, as many magazine tests have proven. The most popular fins among dive instructors and dive guides in the world are Mares Quattros...

Signed. Only a short way from the target now. There is also this petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/SharkS/petition.html "To: Hu Jintao president of the People's Republic of China. Currently the Chinese people are eating a soup which is causing the biggest ecological disaster of...

This film could have a massive impact on our sport, much like the Cousteau TV series once did. The film is good enough to attract general non scuba diving audiences. It is getting rave reviews and winning awards. The hundreds of thousands (and maybe more) people who see this film will far...

On my cave course I had trouble with my drysuit valve drills, even though I have done loads of wetsuit ones in the past. By the end of the course I could do them, but not to a good enough standard. Here is a truly excellent article. It is exactly the sort of support my instructor should have...

Just ask. Your instructor, dive store staff, other divers you meet. It is not just the difficulty of a cave per se but also the current cave conditions which have a huge bearing. Once again just ask around.

It isn't. It is 2 transatlantic flights for starters.

Thanks once again for your very kind offer. I am just about to go to Menorca, Spain with my drysuit, reels etc for at least 12 hours of underwater time practicing skills. The problem with travelling to Florida for a checkout is that it is 5 hours jetlag both ways, I need to find time out...

Thank you very much for this offer, which is very tempting. Especially with all the good things that people say about you. However I am in the British Midlands and you are in Florida. By the time I have found the time, paid for the airfare, car hire, accomodation etc I may just as well do a...

It was. I have GUE Fundementals and have taught PADI PPB. You are making the mistake of believing the lies that Martin sent to Tom Mount in his defence. You are right. I made exactly this point in my original post here: http://www.scubabrucie.com/dive/2007/03/28/an-expensive-lesson/...

There is a lot to what you say. I have never had a relationship with an instructor break down before. This time it did almost straight away. I knew that he was not going to get me through the course. The course was structured with several spare days. We could have used those to build my...
