I sent Steve Alten, author of the Meg series, an email "thanking" him for writing about giant Megalodon sharks being released into Monterey Bay where I dive. I told him scuba there was never going to be the same for me. He sent me this:

Hi! Can anyone out there tell me why white sharks have never been sited at San Carlo beach (Breakwater in Monterey), when it seems like it would be a prime spot b/c of the sea lion population there? There have been incidents north and south of there with white sharks but not at Breakwater...

It's conjoined Tilapia fish! It's in an aquarium somewhere, they say the big one protects the little one when it's looking for food on the bottom.

Hey guys! I was looking for an underwater housing on ebay and came across this, item #110288098115. I'm giving the item # cause the web address for that page was a mile long. Anyway, is this guy for real?! He is trying to sell an acrylic jar, like a cookie jar, for an underwater housing. Sez...

I'm wondering if PADI ever makes an exception to the rule for the minimum age for Nitrox certification, and if their only reason for setting the age requirement is the fear a child any younger would not grasp the math and safety issues involved. I ask because I have a chance to get certified...

Have any of you ever felt that your imput/suggestions/directions were blown off by male fellow divers? I had a situation this weekend and I am still trying to figure out if it was because I am female or if my two fellow divers, being take charge kind of guys, would have been that way with...

I've been going through the vacation pics that my hubby took and I came across one of a piece of coral with something in the background behind it. Whoa! I said, that looks exactly like a *****! Since I do not wish to be banned from this web site I will not post the photo, but I was wondering...

when you eat burritos before diving! It's not a pretty sight:shakehead:

Found this in Coz, fellow diver said sea slug. What kind of sea slug, does anyone know? It looked huge to me, of course I realize it's magnified by the water. Fuzz

Does anyone else out there, or would they admit it if they did, have a fear of diving deeper, than say, 60 ft? And, to complicate things further, only at times. I LOVE diving, I am passionate about it. Although I am new to diving I have always been fascinated by it and wanted to do it. I read...

Hi Guys! This may be totally un-doable but since I have never been to Grand Cayman I don't know. I'm coming in on Carnival on Mar. 18th and will be there from 7am to 4pm and I wondered if there was any way possible to dive the East end? So far I have had zero success in finding anyone who...

I've got one for you guys that I can't find any info. on, nor have I heard anyone talking about it. I've been puzzled for awhile about an incident that happened almost a year ago. I went to So. Cal. and was diving La Jolla Shores, at a depth of around 65 ft. my vision started "turning green"...

I know I'm inviting a flaming but I hope to share some experience with other newbies. I recently got back from a dive vacation with my husband and son. I waited until I got home to download my dives onto my computer and look at them. I completely read and studied my dive computer manual when...

I had a wetsuit custom made for my son at Horizon Wetsuits (www.horizonwetsuits.com) and I couldn't be more pleased with the service or the quality of the suit. My son wore his suit when he got certified at Monterey, CA and although the other boy his age and even some of the adults complained of...

Ok, these things are probably common, I've just never seen one and I can't find a picture of it exactly on the internet. I think it was a type of pencil urchin because it had thick sparse spines of a reddish-brown color (I think) and the coolest part was the perfect star on it's back. It looked...

I have listed some definitions for common garage tools that we all love. DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, splattering it against that freshly...

Hey guys! I'm getting ready to have my 12 yr. old get certified in March and the off the rack sizes of wetsuits that I've seen won't fit him, he is 5'5" and 109 lbs. (a beanpole). The xs men's sizes are meant for someone about 15 lbs. heavier and the children's sizes for someone his weight are...
