    Cost of Artificial Reefs?

    Makes you wonder about the ones actually sunk in wartime combat. What's really in the water at Chuuk Lagoon?

    Basic gear from mid-twentieth-century Italy: Other manufacturers

    Presumably, the galaxy is named for its similar shape. And since, in Spanish, "sombra" means shade or shadow, the hat's name refers quite simply to its purpose in shading the wearer from the sun.

    Trip Report 25 Days in French Polynesia

    As with everything to do with this d**n pandemic, I get contradictory information. One source said that French Polynesia had stopped issuing tourist visas, and I can't find anything official to the contrary, yet obviously you were able to get in. I'm thinking of going there next year, and I know...

    Basic gear from mid-twentieth-century Italy: Other manufacturers

    "Just follow your nose! It always knows!" That's the famous line of another toucan in advertising from way back:

    History of Altitude Diving

    I don't suppose there was a second volume: for Diving at Altitude in Salt Water. :jester:

    How many of you did it take to bring it up?

    ... put more women in charge ... to foster collaborative conversations

    I'm just thinking of some of the New Age type spirituality that speaks of "the sacred masculine" and "the sacred feminine." Well, how would you describe what those are, without resorting to gender stereotypes?

    How to make a fullface snorkelmask safe by Achim Schlöffel

    Then how do they pass consumer product safety approval?

    Basic gear from mid-twentieth-century Italy: Other manufacturers

    Well, the most obvious suggestion is "to meet the needs of expert divers," or possibly "to meet the standards of expert divers," although I don't know the Italian for that. You would likely need to have some idea of how much page space was omitted, and hence how long a word or series of words...

    When do you think virus-related disruptions will end?

    Isn't it funny how the places most dependent on tourism also have the most hatred of tourists?

    Deep Videos

    I see that one of yours is EV Nautilus, which is my go-to for these kinds of videos. I liked this one because it gives a better idea of what a live blobfish would look like (although you can hear them say that this blob sculpin is only related to the blobfish, not the same species). Those pink...

    hand held fan

    What's wrong with using your hand? Nora Svet does, in her YouTube videos.

    And I note that another of the stars in the same cluster is Alcyone -- the Kingfisher!

    Beavertail Wetsuit Jackets

    It also allows the versatility of wearing it either with a Farmer John in colder conditions, or just a swimsuit in less-cold conditions when you might want your legs free.

    Is it possible to travel responsibly (during a pandemic)?

    Um, technically, aren't forums like this also social media? As to the thread's original topic: I have lost track of what "responsibly" means anymore. On one extreme, you have people who want the lockdown still to be in effect, saying "just stay home!!!!" (Did I put enough exclamation points?)...

    How to find an LDS?

    Napa County. Which means that neighboring Sonoma County is completely inaccessible, but I can reach the BART system and visit San Fran as a day trip.

    Basic gear from mid-twentieth-century Italy: Other manufacturers

    Well, assuming the images are relevant to the text -- Betta, shark, and skeleton of a whale -- they presumably relate to those marine fauna observations. I can see also that the first words of the article are Raimondo Bucher's name.

    Flying Gurnard Fin Hydrodynamics

    I take it these are variable in color (as is the case with many fishes), or perhaps at different life stages.

    How to find an LDS?

    Because online, I cant be sure of the sizing. I know little about how that works, I assuredly am not.

    How to find an LDS?

    Google Maps is useful up to a point, but you have to know what to look for. I am trying to find a wetsuit, but I am having difficulty because the search results I am getting in the Bay Area do not tell me much about that. A number of the dive shops seem to be mostly in the instruction side of...
