Will be on Oahu next month (working -- darn the luck). Have 4 days of diving booked with Gabe from Kiamana Divers...April 9th, 16-17 and April 23 so far. 14 dives total but more if I can squeeze them in around work. Anyone going to be out there during that time diving with them as well? Need a...

A little update... With all the turmoil and strife in Greece I decided to cancel that trip and try to find someplace nice and quiet and RELAXING without worrying about the next flight or even if electricity would be on in the next hotel due to strikes by the unions there. I felt Europe would be...

Let you all know I'm still alive and diving. Did my trip to Thailand last November and heading to Greece in 30 days. Plan to get some diving in while on the island of Rhodes after touring mainland Greece. Being out here in Iraq hasn't been all that bad, lol! Got the Maldives, Thailand and will...

Reefseal -- the Pirates haven't ventured that far out yet. Just don't go to the Seychelles, they nabbed a boat there last week. The Maldives are still safe for the time so I'm not too worried about them. Yeah, I miss diving with everyone there too. I miss my steel tanks!!!!!! Since you're...

Been awhile since I have been on and posted anything because I have been in lovely Iraq for the past 6 months surfing the sand. But now that I have reached my 6 month point it's time for vacation so I booked a 2 week dive trip to the Maldives off the coast of Sri Lanka. I am cooling my heals in...

I too am doing a trip on the Monsoon in late April 2009 with a lady friend from CA. We are also doing 7 nights on the island (Kuredu) since I am coming out of the Iraq war zone and need the hedge against flights not making it out on time. As you all do your trips it would be nice if you could...

As a military retiree I enquired about diving from the base itself. The Navy prohibits any kind of diving from the base by anyone unless it's Navy divers. If you can find parking on the Maine side of the river, you can dive there, just make sure you don't stray too close to the navel base or I'm...

Bill, Mike and me dove Foley's today. We wanted to do Cathedral Rock but wind and waves made us decide to wait for a better day. Foley's is getting harder to get into since all the sand has washed away from the beach area leaving "ankle turners" rocks exposed. Easy enough to get down to the...

I know I'm looking forward to getting a copy as soon as I can! There is always a wealth of information in his books. I know he's also working (or will start working) on a book this year of shipwrecks in New Hampshire and Maine. If anyone has the locations of wrecks in the NH - Maine area and...

Bet he ends up on the no fly list and is forced to remain in Florida scuba diving and Livin Lavida Loca until Homeland Security :14: figures out there's two of them -- one in jail and one not!:eyebrow: Could be years before he makes it back up this way to the cold dark waters of the North...

Hi Pete, I was over at Aquatic Escapes in Londonderry two weeks ago and they were talking about an ice dive class that did go out onto the lake, but the ice was only about 4 inches thick. Could be iffy with the warm weather scheduled for the next couple of days even though there were several...

Bite me!

Thanks for the additional information Dennis. Definately keep us posted on the book release as I plan to buy early!

I see the popcorn is out USBB -- are we expecting something interesting?;) Marcie contacted The United Divers of New Hampshire concerning an ice dive on the Lady of the Lake, an old steamship sunk in Lake Winnepesaukee, NH. Since the snowpack has been so heavy, the ice underneath did not have...

Your quite right. They are two very interesting, and nice, people. I was awed a bit by Gary and amazed by Marcie's diving exploits as well. There's a good story on them diving the Andrea Doria this past summer off Marcies boat at Secret Squirrel Divers I really hope we get some people to...

Nope. I'm pretty sure he just mentioned wrecks this time around. But ya never know, there just might be a story with that Cousteau / Aqua lung thing... I take it you don't have any suggestions for wreck dives in Maine and New Hampshire, and based on your comment and living in Houston, I'll...

I met with Gary and Marcie B. last Friday night in Portsmouth, NH as they were travelling back to Boston from snow-shoeing in Maine. Gary is beginning the process of researching wrecks for his next book covering New Hampshire and Maine. He is looking for Names, Dates sunk (if known) and...

Thanks for taking the time to write Matt. That was a great response to the concerns of some of our elected officials. We are currently gathering data that will hopefully refute some of the arguements that will come up but this will be an uphill battle since the NH diving community is so small...

If you don't mind going up to the Framingham area there is the Metro West Dive Club MetroWest Dive Club and in Boston there is the New England Aquarium Dive Club New England Aquarium Dive Club. Both are good clubs with a lot of members and get great speakers. Not sure about down by Middleborough...

37 degrees 32 minutes, max depth 105 feet. 1.5 hour surface interval in 45 degree weather then 95 feet, 45 minutes, 37 degree water. Suit is a Xcel Polar Tri Density. Second dive I was shivering on the safety stop at 20 feet. Hands were so cold they cramped when I got back on the boat and needed...
