Hundreds of spectators cheer as A300 jet is lowered off resort of Kuşadası on Aegean coast to attract more diving tourists. The plane was put to the bottom of the sea off the resort of Kuşadası, in Aydin province, 50 miles south of Izmir. Read more HERE.

Set aside that there are debates about climate change. We are seeing that certain popular dive sites are changing--and not for the better. Stories we hear from older, more experienced divers each day seem to have elements of "Back X years ago, it was better!" Gazing into a possible future and...

Welcome and hello from a former Cochran employee! Please tell everyone I said hi. To start things off, care to tell everyone what's going on in the current Cochran line? I know that there were some changes since I was there.

Like I've said before, it's like a horrible train wreck, and you find you just can't look away from the carnage you know is happening right in front of you. Just can't feel sorry for the people who disregarded every possible warning that could be given, even directly on the IGG web page's...

At least in your case they used the airplane analogy. I ran across someone who used the artificial diamond one, which was unfortunate. Unfortunate for him. You see, I put myself through the Gemological Institute of America, and spent 30 years in the jewelry industry. I knew the science and...

Believe it, and Indiegogo is the conduit that allows it to happen. With the attention that Triton is getting, it may finally be the incident that prompts regulators to finally act concerning crowdfunding sites.

Looks like this may go down to the wire on this thing being shut down for the scam it is. Almost a thousand people stand to lose their money on this thing--despite hundreds of articles that prove it cannot be real, they still invested. I don't think they realize that they'll have no recourse to...

Don't they still give a discount to NAUI C-card holders? It's worth doing just to have bragging rights to say you've done it.

Thought the following made that clear, but I guess I was wrong:

Ah, dive trip time. When you finally get to go on those long-anticipated underwater excursions, see exotic locales, and interact with the locals. But have you ever examined just what your behavior is really like from the standpoint of those local people? Some of us have cringed inwardly when...

Supposedly yes, but there have been complaints from some that there were fees they had to pay both directions on the transaction. I don't know for sure, but I gathered that those were fees imposed by their financial institutions.

Oh, and can someone ID the dive shops that are working with them, according to the following?

I've compared it to a train wreck--you know something horrible is about to happen, but you just can't look away. Despite all the articles, warnings and the obvious junk science, some 900+ people have pledged ~$365,000.00 for this thing, bound and determined to lose their money to this scam for...

Off the top of my head, there's a good reason for this. People will reserve space online, then- -they don't show up -it's a phony reservation that ties up resources -they misrepresent themselves, meaning there's an underlying reason they cannot go out on the charter By asking the potential...

Two days later, the "liquid oxygen" ad copy mysteriously has appeared on the internet site--which makes me think that they have someone who reads the posts about them on the internet and they plug holes when pointed out.

"Don't touch that! You don't know where it's been!" If you've never heard those words spoken to you with urgency and command, you've probably never had a childhood. As you grew up, you discovered that it wasn't such bad advice, either. All the stuff you may have found so fascinating and...

"I was wiggling my jaw as I ambled along underwater just off the coast of a Mexican island, doing a survey of how much tequila and diving one could do in a week.."

sobbing yes. sobbing Wailing in despair over lost youth...

Not sure; it's the one where the husband drowned his wife and they made him out himself by claiming Mike was going down with some crazy "borrowed Navy rig" to try and recover the body. Ah, maaan. Now I feel really old just because of remembering that much of an old TV show episode plot.

Didn't you see the episode where he took the pill to keep the bends and narcosis away? Probably works for equalization as well! ..and now, I suddenly feel really old.
