Bill has a brewery at Manta Ray Bay as well. :)

Carlcz on this forum had a few for sale for MUCH less. He may have one or two left. I got one from him and it was in great condition. -Adrian

Carlcz on this forum had three of the H2Os for sale. He may still have one or two. I bought one and I'm very happy with it. -Adrian

There's a good Indian restaurant in Koror. It's on the main road on the edge of town. If a taxi driver says he knows a "really great restaurant" get out while you can. You'll end up at a less than pleasant diner. As for Yap there aren't that many restaurants around. It's really not that...

That's Eel pond at the top of the picture - no diving there. The lower left is the WHOI dock area. If Atlantis is out it MIGHT be diveable but the authorities wouldn't look too kindly on it if they catch you. The building just above the WHOI docks is where we worked on the first ship-to-shore...

I lived and dove in Woods Hole for three years from 1996-1999. Never heard of garbage beach. -Adrian

Because it's there. No other reason is needed.

We met some years ago when my wife and I were stationed in Japan and travelled to Guam a LOT to dive. Glad to see you're active in the community still. Sorry for the thread jack. -Adrian

Except that there's a Buddhist temple and Shinto shrine every couple of blocks in Japan, and they're always occupied, usually by a large group of people. When I say that the Japanese identify as Buddhist that means they're PRACTICING Buddhists, not just paying lip service to it. I lived...

Not true in the Japanese case. More than 96% of the population of Japan self-identified as Buddhist in 2009. 83% also self-identified as Shinto (since the two religions are not mutually exclusive). Having lived there for almost 4 years I can tell you the Japanese are deeply religious and truly...

Yup. Thanks Mike.

I was thinking of a Dive-X Cuda 400, which is the scooter I'm aiming for, but you're right - a Used Sierra or Gavin can be found for $1500-$2000. -Adrian

One pair XL gray Twin Jet Max fins, brand new in bag with spring straps. $100 OBO + shipping. I'm in central California. -Adrian

Because a decent open water DPV will cost a minimum of $4000 new. Without meaning to be cruel, your Seadoo is a pool toy, not a serious DPV. -Adrian

The mass dieoff is a documented event called "Sea Star Wasting Syndrome". It's occurring in varying degrees in the Pacific and Atlantic and is being discussed on this forum and elsewhere. Most of the major aquariums on the west coast have setup research programs to document it. At this point no...

I'll go a little different route. Don't bother about your logs until you're treated and recovering. That's the most important thing. Good luck with the chamber! I'll hope for a full recovery for you. -Adrian

So make one. I did. :)

It has nothing to do with Fukushima and has been taken entirely out of context of the original study by the fearmongers who wrote the article. Here's some science for you: http://deepseanews.com/2013/11/true-facts-about-ocean-radiation-and-the-fukushima-disaster/ -Adrian
