Well, everyone understands when I gift ‘em, but I’m not sure they’d ever get one on their own. It’s kinda like the revival meetings in the woods up here…you can talk all you want about the joys and theory of handling a serpent, but until you have your very own cottonmouth draped around your...

Well this some down-to-the-wire coverage.

I always kinda thought Don was maybe overdoing the CO warning thing, and then that incident happened with the three tourists. I originally thought they OD’ed, but then the CO thing came out. Then there was a long story somewhere online about the relative infrequency of CO poisonings and deaths...

Hmmm... I'm a longtime NAUI guy, even have the "L" after my number, but this "Association of Reputable Scuba Educators"...now THAT'S a card! Way cooler than boring old NAUI. Trouble is that any group that will let me in, I want no part of...

Geez...I'll bet the Europeans were glad to dump this pair back onto the US authorities. How'd these clowns stay on the lam, fighting extradition, and get by for 12 years? I don't want to sound overly cynical, but I'll bet one or more of the duo needs some health care, and what better place to...

I never met this guy, but he sounded like a pretty solid jarhead...like so many other whom I'll never get to meet. The ANGLICO reference sure did bring back some stuff. When I was a newly-commissioned Ensign (pronounced ens-swine), I was stashed at the Naval Military Personnel Command in...

I wore out both of my drysuits in south Florida. They were shell suits and I just wore a t-shirt and shorts under them - what I boarded the boat wearing…I had undersuits, but they added too much bulk and just using two 2-lb weights on the shells was so easy. Just staying dry made all the...

Get the trip insurance even with DAN.

Didn’t know Force-E got sold. Skip only just turned 80 so he’s just getting warmed up. I just realized that he looks a lot like Phil Collins of Genesis who is not doing so well these days getting ready for their big UK/US tour. I don’t know if Skip can sing though. Hey, didn’t Chris Brown kinda...

Well this should be interesting.

Ah geez, if you got it, just do it. The whole tipping thing is so uneven anyway, but you’re gonna tip, unless you’re a TCMFSW, so a couple of extra Benjamins isn’t going to land you living under a highway overpass. It’s actually kinda cool when the crew realizes what you slipped them.

I did the Juliet Miami-TCI repo a few years ago. The crossing to Cat Cay to clear customs really sucked, but after that, the seas were fine. It was kinda cool meandering through the Bahamas - never had a chance to get there before. Cat Island is worth a separate trip one of these days, and there...

They were still considering going to law school when this thread began…

The SeaDoos are THE finest recreational scooters ever made...just ask ANY satisfied SeaDoo owner. Oh wait, there aren’t any. Never mind. Buy the BT. Buy REAL —->Dewalt<—- batteries since you’re gonna be 150’ underwater and not making a birdfeeder in your backyard...which means DFAW cheap eBay...

What’s the bird do when you splash?

not worth reading even once much less twice...

That didn’t look THAT flat. I saw ripples in the distance. Not bad though. But definitely not Twiggy flat. In the event that I ever do dive again in south Floriduh, damn, did I score some awesome toys this week!

People still dive during this global pandemic? I have a tough enough time just suiting up to go to Publix.

No cruise ships in Key West? That is indeed good news.

This case just sets me off no end. I spent a lot of years in the dive industry and at sea, and the assclowns who survived this nightmare would not fare well in my impartial court... As always, people who disagree with me and stick up for the survivors are, of course, entitled to their opinions.
