^^^ What he asked. And what's the blue stuff on the top of the strobe? Paint?

+1 Regardless of the lack of perfection you've mentioned, that's a great shot of a very cool situation. The story is told by the pic, regardless of the technical execution. Nicely done and thanks for posting it. OP, I havent done Molokini, but I can highly recommend Kona Honu Divers...

We had an awesome week on the Aqua Cat last month. We've been very fortunate to always have good liveaboard experiences and this one was excellent as well. The boat was very nice, clean, well maintained and comfortable. The staff was excellent. In the water, on the dive deck and everywhere...

Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery. Please know that we're thinking of her.

Nope, but will be there end of next week! :D Will try to leave a little hot water for you. Oh, and some critters.

Travis, it's great of you to create this thread to give back to the community by sharing your knowledge. I'm an extremely amateur photographer, so I was glad to be able to read your blog post. :cool3: Herman, thanks for you link, too.

Dove the Colorado just below Hoover Dam some years ago. The outfit was Drew's Dam Divers, but a quick google search (in an effort to be helpful and post a link) makes it seem like Drew is OOB. Don't know if anyone else is doing it. It was fun. Water was chilly (I'm a WWW) but manageable...

Thanks for updating the thread. Good stuff!

I myself don't like the thought of killing and eating whales, but I recognize it's because of my subjective emotional connection with them. So I am wary of trying to impose those beliefs on others. I'm sure if you ask the zillions of beef cows in the US, they'd be highly in favor of humans...

I'm glad you're being wary, but I can't answer either of those questions in a forum like this. You can read here to understand: Rip current - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Your best source of knowledge are experienced lifeguards on the beach. If there are no lifeguards, see if there's...

This. What you're proposing sounds very low risk to me if you and your group are strong swimmers and you stay aware of your situation. You need to be wary of rip currents, cross currents, wind/weather that can increase the surface chop while you're out, etc, etc. Sharks or other animals are...

Very interesting. I thought Gulf Stream water was warmer than what GW sharks like. Off to google offshore water temps seasonally along the east coast. Thanks for posting.

Gear problem > surface too fast > DCS > physically disabled during the surface swim Medical problem > interpreted as gear problem > surface > medical problem worsens during surface swim Maybe? Be interesting to see if the hospital relocates him to a chamber. I hope he recovers.

^^^ I really appreciate the offer and you've got some really nice stuff. But there just isnt anything listed on your post that I need at this time. Thanks very much for offering, though. GL with your certification. You're gonna love diving and u/w photography!

Hi all, For sale is an Ikelite Dome Port, #5503.85 for $150. List is $200, most reputable places sell it for $190 plus tax and/or shipping. This port is literally like new. It's only done 2 tanks. I'm selling it because I've changed the lenses I'm using underwater and no longer own the...

Stay safe. Don't let the additional variables of the camera and your desire to take pics distract you from air level, depth, bouyancy, buddy, equipment and general situational awareness. Zoom with your fins, not your lens. Get close to the stuff you want to take pics of. Try to get low...

Welcome to the board. I got certified in NM over 20 years ago. Did my OW cert dives in Perch Lake and Blue Hole. Welcome to the hobby/adventure/sport. Enjoy the boards and enjoy your dives!

:happywave: Hi there neighbor. Welcome on-board! Get it? Cuz its scubaBOARD? Get it? Awwww, never mind....

I carry a normal size titanium Wenoka knife on the inside of my left calf and EMT shears on the right chest strap of my BC. I've used the shears for removing monofilament line from a reef. And OMG there was about a mile of the stuff, ugh. I've only ever used the knife for goading a blenny...
