    What no shark week thread?

    Well I can stop planning my next dive trip. No megalodon means I'm not going mega hunting. I am crushed.

    new fin concept

    From drawing to store shelves, this is what I do for a living. Not in the diving industry, but several others. The formula is the same across the board. Always hurdles of the old dogs, this is where it's important to know your consumer. It's even more important to know how to reach the...

    new fin concept

    Keep in mind that a provisional patent will require drawings. If you intend to change your drawings your provisional may not be valid. Proof of concept is important on this type of product. I have ridden this train before.

    Cruel angler 'rides' a Mola Mola - needs to be named and shamed

    I'm still a little confused here. We can all agree that messing with the wild life is bad. But calling someone a name clearly meant in a derogatory manner wether racist or not is also not ok. Poor behavior does not justify poor behavior.

    new fin concept

    This I why energy in vs energy out analysis is so important. No denying factual data. The knowledge and true understanding of what popular existing designs actually do will let you know more about the viability of any new design than anything else. Since from the sounds I things you don't...

    new fin concept

    I would also think that at some point someone will need to bring in a measured matrix from fin type comparison. All I have ever seen is opinion. A simple chart showing energy in vs energy out of the top models against your new design would definitely be a great launch platform.

    New diver with a question about OW course

    Every student learns at a slightly different pace. There is also no such thing as the one instructor for every student. Take your time, at at your comfortable pace and enjoy it.

    I'm tethering on the edge of a camera purchase. After this trip I will probably be a gopro owner soon.

    What ppO2 do you use and why?

    I set my computers and do all math based on a 1.6. My reason is the same reason that I have for all of my clocks being set to real time. I really know the actual level and know to dive my plan. If all is set to less then I have found people are more likely to "fudge" their plan. Just how I...

    How to travel with gear?

    I have a lockable pelican case that has room for a full kit. It's got wheels and a handle for ease of movement. It's "Gorilla" proof. I also have a pelican case for my reg set, computers, mask etc. just slightly larger than a laptop case. Travel is easy, secure an I like crush/ gorilla proof.

    Morehead City

    Well I am not the creator of that video. We were in the same group. This was our Friday, Saturday was even better. The whole team at Diver Down really took great care of us and the weather and conditions were perfect. I am now hooked on Morehead City.

    GA Aquarium

    To be fair you paid more than $350 to dive with whale sharks and mantas in the wild. I had never had the opportunity to dive with whale sharks before. This is also a great dive for a family or group as it is just a good experience.

    GA Aquarium

    So, yesterday I spent the day at the GA aquarium and dove with the whale sharks, manta rays, and a plethora of fish species. It's a 30 minute, 30' dive that is just awesome. The fish all interact with you as you swim through. It is not the cheapest dive you will ever do, but for $350 it is an...

    Morehead City

    Today made up for the awesome. The ride out was rough 3-5' +. The vis was not great 30' max but not consistent. Made 2 dives on the Caribsea. Dropped in on a large school of sand tiger sharks at 30-50'. A manta ray was on the wreck but didn't stick around long. Amazing quantity of life on...

    Morehead city currents?

    So far this weekend different wrecks ha e had different levels of current. However at no time was it advisable to not "walk" the down line. It has been easy enough to go everywhere though that any certified diver should have no real issues.
