    When Grunt Sculpins ATTACK!!!!

    Yep. They can skelletonize a nudibranch in no time flat, when they go into a feeding frenzy. It ain't pretty.

    When Grunt Sculpins ATTACK!!!!

    It takes a big pair of brass ones to face down a charging grunt sculpin! My hat is off to you, sir!

    A dive of firsts at the Office

    I feel your pain. We were in the water right after Bob and Dsteding, and we ALWAYS go straight to the I-beams....except last night. We had a guy right out of OW class with us, and didn't want to take him that deep, so we went over by the honey bear instead.

    Yet another Oceanlog question

    Hmmm. I did a search, but couldn't dig up anything close to this. I'll try e-mailing tech support, but it looks like I shoulda saved my money on the darn cable. Maybe the wife can use it to tie tomato plant seedlings up to the stakes, or something.....

    Yet another Oceanlog question

    Just got my new VT Pro in the water yesterday, and I must say, I absolutely love it! Great computer, and I'm very happy with it. The Oceanlog software....well, Not so much, yet. Anyway, I did 2 dives with it yesterday, 1st one: 101fsw max depth, 42 minutes duration;1 hour surface interval, the...

    Your Goals in Diving

    For me, diving is the goal right now! Which is pretty cool- as long as I get in and go under, I have achieved my goal. Ultimately, I want to go tech, but I'm not ready yet, so I'm just concentrating on learning the basics like trim and buoyancy, and having a lot of fun doing it, I might add.

    Shadow Divers – Exposed U 869

    You may be right about that. Nobody is questioning the fact that Mr. Gentile is a great diver. That doesn't give him a get out of jail free card for being a jerk, however. And if what I've gleaned of his charater holds true, then typical Gary Gentile is sour grapes.

    Would You Wreck Dive With These People?

    Wow. That looks like an amazing dive. Beautifull pics, too. (Walks away grumbling about Cathrine grumbling about poor viz)

    Shadow Divers – Exposed U 869

    Oh, I agree, 100% !!!! Chatterton and Kohler are working for a Sith Lord you say? OF COURSE. It all makes sense now. Why, I bet they dragged the wreck over to NJ from Gibraltar with a tractor beam, so they could stage a dramatic "discovery". Good thing Gentile-won-Kenobi is here to set the...

    What kind of dive computer should I buy?

    Yeah.....4 times a year? I wouldn't buy one at all. Just use the tables, or rent one.

    What kind of dive computer should I buy?

    Funny.....Dive manager works OK on my rig, and I'm no genius w/ PCs. It is a clunky piece of software, and should do lots more, and work better than it does, but it has worked for the 30+ dives I have logged on mine.

    When does PADI teach gas planning?

    OW and AOW completed a few months back, here- they don't cover it there. I scoured the texts one night- it ain't there, period. My buddy just finished PADI DM, and he says they cover it there. I got angry about this at first, then I decided to simply learn the stuff I was interested in myself...

    Island boyfriends, brothers, and fathers take exception, I'm guessing.

    Current Visibility Report

    Sweet! I love Sund rock- we had GREAT dives there last weekend- Do a night dive there, if possible- you won't be sorry!

    Current Visibility Report

    Anybody hit Cove 2 today? Oh, my. I don't even know how to describe it. Let's just say that from the bottom of the orange and white buoy, in 55 fsw.......I could see the buoy on the surface. Down below, there was 30' of so of vis at 1PM. Had 2 great dives there this afternoon!

    for the newer divers ...

    Not in a country where you can sue a restaurant for serving you hot coffee that you spill in your lap and burn yourself, it ain't.
