I wish I knew about the bar stocked with Bud and Bud Light when I spent a couple of nights there in June. The bar at the hotel never seemed to be open.

Those are two totally different beasts. If the number of dives in your avatar is correct I would suggest neither right now. Single tank open circuit for a couple more years. You aren't ready for this.

That's what happens when they let the wife of the owner edit the manuals. They were terrible back in 1996 when I did my first course with IANTD and they were terrible in 2021 when I did my last one.

Not a good endorsement.. Going by the rest of the standards you posted, the "best of the best" bar is set pretty low there in being able to actually get stuff done in the environment that this recovery operated in.

I wanted to hate this video but it is actually OK.

The UASBC (Underwater Archaeology Society of BC) has done some dives there. There is probably contact info on their website or FB page.

Seriously? I shot it and put together the bits. Of course I've seen it. I'm an amateur. Always have been and always will be. I have no aspirations of ever getting paid to shoot. I'm the "get the boats and sandwiches and supplies guy" on the productions I've been on. A role I'm quite happy with...

I was around AG at the time. I helped out filming students for review on the Fundies courses in Calgary he was doing. What they described about the reasons for him getting the boot was what I saw. He didn't skimp on the course but he did bad mouth GUE HQ people and some of the students during...

Sigh. Dealing with wannabes is so unrewarding.

Sounds like you did a class with AG.

So, is that the 4th time you've said that you are done with this thread? Or the 5th? C'mon man. Make a decision and stick with it.

I have to get one of these just so I can see the rabid anti-DIR crowd get their knickers in a knot when I bring it out. And then set up my Meg while standing on it. They will lose their minds trying to figure out if they should laugh, cry, puke, or just shut up, The DIR divers I dive with...

Doesn't matter. With a part time owner it won't last much longer anyway.

Take it out like a lot of people do.

Are you paying or just offering "exposure"? The shooters I've worked with are around $1000 per day if I recall. I don't know if this included equipment rental costs or expenses. These are Nat Geo/ Discovery Channel level people. Easy enough to get them. Go to their website. Email them, get a...

On my trip earlier this month the boat only had 7 divers (8 if you include Aron from Dirty Dozen). 15 crew. No doubt this trip didn't make any money. And I see that other trips this summer are not sold out.

LOL. Fixed it!

Looks like Master Liveaboards (currently the only operation going to Bikini) has cancelled all 2027 trips to the atoll and the Pacific Master will be staying in Truk for all of 2027. I wonder if this means the end (again) for Bikini diving or if some other charter op is looking at taking their...

A typo queen. Obviously you don't hate to be that guy. You love to be that guy.

If he was diving the wrecks in the Malin Head area then that makes sense as they are a ways out there.
