Hey Guys, Have been a supporting member since 2005? This time around no supporting banner though funds have been collected. Tried the "Contact Us" at the top of the tool bar 3-4x times with no response. How do I get someone to change my support status??? Cheers X

New York City's Chinatown has a wide variety of marine animals for sale. Once they even had giant deep sea isopods and on occasion fresh Bombay Duck! :shocked2: I bought this little guy for a dissection lesson. He was fresh vs. previously frozen like most non-US caught fish found in...

I just cooked up some Paella and stuck in some store-bought shrimp farmed in Ecuador, or who knows where? Man-oh-man do I miss those tasty little Native Shrimp (Pandalus borealis). I remember when you could get a pound for something like $2.00? Could be I was imagining this? :( Since...

An artificial gill designed by a student. Yes, it will work…on paper. :D New Invention: Triton Oxygen Respirator Extracts Air Underwater!, page 1

Ok. Probably in bad taste...but given Large Divers thread: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/new-england/468982-man-place-quiet-anyone-been-out-diving-lately.html I thought I post some pics of a dead pilot whale from about a year ago at Gloucester's Long Beach. It washed up near Cape Ann...

An interesting approach by the Japanese fishing industry/goverment - getting the US to file an injunction: BBC News - Japan whalers given Sea Shepherd injunction by US court Good luck trying to enforce this injunction in a area which has no US Patrol boats, or (probably) jurisdiction. Plus...

If you're studying lobster behavior - you don't tie one onto to string and expect it to be there the next day. :shakehead: What Ph.d signed off on this type of invasive research? Overpopulation, Climate Change, Nighttime Is Turning Lobsters Into Cannibals : US/World : Medical Daily

I decided to dive Back Beach. A place I've never gone before. It's a mildly interesting dive. :blinking: Did not break a depth of over 26' even a 1/4 + mile offshore. Viz ranging from 5' - 30' at various points. Saw a few skates, undersized lobsters, small Cancer crabs and tons of derelict...

The Japanese government is diverting roughly 30 million dollars of money earmarked for tsunami relief to pay for enhanced security on its annual Antarctic whale hunt. IT CHAPS ME to no end that the new prime minister and toadies comprising the parliament see whaling ahead of its people...

I'm watching the CBS evening news segment on diving and the positive effects of nitrogen on paralysis. Behind Scott Pelley (the newscaster) is a picture of the Gabe Watson murder scene photo. Some doofus obviously thought the diver central to the image had paralysis. Big Screwup. If any of you...

The Japanese Whalers are asking for a increase in their operating budget as well as upping the kill estimates. Given the fact that the Japanese economy isn't doing so well (earthquake/recession) the last thing they should even be thinking about is "scientific" whaling foray. If I could divine...

I've seen Diana Nyad for too many years going on about her personal accomplishments. Now she's attempting another Cuba- Fla swim. Not adding to her cause is my wife's personal experience as a collegiate swimmer - she was discouraged from being on 'her' team unless she fit the prevailing mold...

The dog and I visited Folly's Cove during the labor day weekend to see after-effects of Hurricane Irene. The water looked pretty clear and there seemed to be a few dive classes in session. Overall, for a Labor Day weekend very few folks. At Stage Fort the sea spray from Irene basically killed...

Haven't dove Folly's in a while but decided to take the scooter and whiz through. Viz. was about 15'- 20' and water temperature @ 60 feet was about 57F. Most of the dive was about 61F. Lots of juvenile lobster about walking on the bottom, usual number of flatfish, small schools of cunner...

Some knuck wants to find Osama's body and is willing to spend 400,000.00 doing it. Doesn't he know the processes involved in decomposition? Hagfish, deep water crabs can really do a number on a small corpse. I say spend the money here - on some congressman running for re-election who...

Have you guys, or ladies seen Fiddler Crabs at the North Shore? I've cruised the estuaries of Cape Ann/Essex/Ipswich and have not seen any evidence of these guys at all. The reason I ask is I need to collect a bunch of these little guys for a school wishing to simulate a marsh environment in...

I see this guy pop up a SB a lot. I think it's Oscar De La Hoya. :D That said - are boxers good divers? I saw Joe Frazier swimming (on TV) in a quasi-competitive celebrity event. He sank straight to the bottom. :shocked2: X

I think it's pretty imaginative. Perhaps someone in San Diego knows which flavor of scooter they used? Heck with a Gavin, Silent Submersion or X - you can stick a whole lot o' weed in the nosecone + find a new way into the US! U.S. border police nab migrants with dive scooters - World -...

I had to laugh. This article is so off the mark. This stuff was being done way, way long ago. As per the good doctor - he should give it a go just to stroke his memory cells. Into the abyss: The diving suit that turns men into fish - Science, News - The Independent X
