    Diving Liberia

    My brother evacuated somebody outta there in the 90's (the embassey?) (pilot) all I recall is him saying there were people hacked up floating in the red water.... Does the Vice Guide do various nation states and where is part 2 of your movie? maybe it was scrubbed

    Dive Aqaba - Trip Report

    What did you mean about "all the regulations?" for diving? So, if you send the batteries in the checked bags, the rest of the camera equipment is okay to carry? I usually check my housing in all the clothes and then hand carry the camera and lenses got the "okay" today yeee haaaa

    Why are so many female divers codependent?

    The reverse happens too...where they say, oh yea I love diving! ..and the next thing you know, you end up at the speedway every weekend stuck putting tire warmers on a Ducati. Watch out for the tricksters, ladies.

    Can coral polyps grow in your skin?

    Question: what actionable information would you get from an x-ray? do they not want to prescribe antibiotics unless they see a fragment?

    Can coral polyps grow in your skin?

    I went the whole route when I thought my finger tips might fall off. I can't recall his name, I tried to search Maurice Auchman MD, marine toxicology from memory, to no avail. Anyway, the super-specialist called me via phone (NoCal, I can't recall) and basically seemed to know the sponge fire...

    PADI vs NAUI

    PADI vs NAUI

    Many of the people I dived with on our boat, even in the last few years are not certed by anybody...some of the best divers, in fact I would not want to want to tell them they had not satisfied informed consent (or that it's against the standards to take their tank off and crawl under rocks)...

    PADI vs NAUI

    I'd love to see numbers on diver deaths before certification agencies... do they even have those stats? I could imagine them actually being lower because I know the types of divers my parents were, who they dived with, before people began getting certed just to fill tanks. I can remember them...

    PADI vs NAUI

    Something that has always bothered me, is that many PADI dive shops circulate the exams behind the scenes. I've known Instructors that can't calculate a 15% tip....if you know what I mean. But hey, you work in the shop, the exam is right there in a file. I couldnt figure out for a while, how...

    What are your biggest pet peeves?

    I guess you don't dive with Armando J. then? ;) Actually, he is probably in "the special circle of hell", now that I think about it I dive with the wrong people mostly, I'm usually the most safety conscious person on board Have you seen his old American Sportsman movies hanging on to Marlins...
