    Hurricane Ian

    This was worse than Charlie. I'm fortunate. I lost a lot of shingles, three oaks, pool cage, cosmetic truck damage. Power is out. Water just came back. I'm only on the internet now, because I am at work. There are two gas stations in the county right now operating and the line is around 2...

    Bring a mesh bag bag to put your teeth in.

    RIP Richard Marcinko, 1st CO of Seal Team 6

    A true legend. His Sea Daddy, Roy Boehm, lived here in Punta Gorda/Port Charlotte after his retirement. You used to see a black SUV with the license tag "SEAL 1" driving around. I never really thought much about it until I read Rogue Warrior, thereafter I would get a thrill just seeing it...

    Alligator attack - Myakka River, Florida

    I've dove with alligators for years and years. Some of them quite large, like 14'. They are not usually a problem, unless they've been fed. This completely changes their behavior. This, however, wasn't a feeding issue. This was a territory issue. When this happened, it was smack in the...

    Finding a Firearm

    I've found lots of guns over the years. Guns, bodies, cars, planes, tire irons and other weapons use in crimes, jewelry, safes, etc. I did underwater recovery for the Sheriff's office for 15 years. If it's old, like the one above, likely no identification can be made from it, and definitely...

    NO PARKING AT ALHAMBRA

    As have I. I'm not saying I blame them, just that it is the case.

    NO PARKING AT ALHAMBRA

    That sucks. The condo owners have always hated us parking there. I'm betting its permanent.

    You think you've had a bad dive? Pity this poor person...

    Anyone remember GaryG (?) He once dove in a septic tank and recovered (I think) a ring.

    Hurricane Dorian

    Yup, couldn't begin to tell you why, but the best vis there ever. It was a nice break from cleaning up. My wife and kids stayed in Tampa while I cleaned up, and I would stop by and sneak a dive in every morning.

    Hurricane Dorian

    I dove Venice beach 2 days after hurricane Charley. Had AMAZING vis, at least 30', and found $20 floating in the current.

    Southwest Florida or Charlotte County Dives

    Hey, Sarah. You can check with Fantasea (Jim and Julie Joseph) at (941) 627-3888, or Terry at Depthfinders (941) 766-7565. Both are great local shops. I also would, while you're in the area, check out fossil diving out of Venice, which is ~30 minutes north of here. Easy dives, 20'-30' depth...

    I found many car parts partially tucked under a pier

    One call I did around 10 years ago. We were looking for a car, supposedly driven into a local pond. It wasn't a Lexus. While we were looking, a couple of teenagers came up and asked if we were "looking for the Lexus". Well, now we are. So we find a car. Hook it up, and get out of the way...

    What’s the most random or awesome thing you’ve found on a dive?

    Let's see... People, parts of people, Jewelry, 6' concrete dolphins, newspaper machines, safes, lots of weapons, a fingernail (the presson kind), vehicles, a bambi bucket, and a lot of other stuff.
