Hi all, I have long been a fan of Nicolas Barraque's wreck panoramas, for he shoots extra-large wrecks, typically over 250ft/70m in length, and manages to turn them into a single image! The conventional way to shoot wreck panos is to choose a spot near the center of the ship, and from there...

Will any Destin scuba shops/charters offer any dive trips out to the newest wrecks (Manta, Dolphin, etc.) sunk this year? Any scuttlebutt? thanks...

Bonaire's Tilisa Del Mar wreck, secret elkhorn garden, and her wild southeastern and southern reefs! Normally a mystery to most divers, they are revealed under our camera lights as Caribbean storms pull the normally easterly winds out of the southern Caribbean and change their direction enabling...

Brand new Light Monkey 400' Reel and Strobe. Was a raffle prize from our local dive club. Should be a great package for a diver just starting out. I would like to keep the package together, but will split if I find two buyers who each want one item. $375 for total package $125 - 400' Reel $250...

We just released a new YouTube episode called "Bonaire's Forgotten Reef." A mystery reef system and deep wreck on Bonaire! This episode is packed! Due to development, access to this site is extremely limited so divers go elsewhere. The lack of human presence, has resulted in a vibrant marine...

For many years, I dive the Mares Avanti Quattro in both wet and dry-suit. When I took my recreational Wreck Diver class, my instructor highly recommended to get new fins with a shorter blade, which are more suitable for wreck diving. Now I consider to go further on the wreck diving path...

What are the lesser unknown wrecks of Hawaii? i.e. minus the commercial wrecks (YO-257, Sea Tiger, Corsair, Mahi, etc).

I primarily dive wrecks in the Great Lakes. I am penetrating within my training, experience, and comfort. As I'm becoming a more experienced diver, I'm wanting to move into Sidemount OR Backmount Doubles. I see a lot of advantages to SM but the community seems to largely dive BM. Why? I've...
