The Olinda is off the east end of Fishers Island real close to shore. Not much left other then the boiler and the prop shaft. It was a shallow dive and a fun one. I was there, its been logged and I probably wont be returning.
The remains are on the south eastern side of the island, about 30 feet from shore. The top of the boiler is visible during low tide. Not much left other then the boiler and the prop shaft. It was a nice shallow dive though. The day we went the viz was only about 5 feet. Send me a PM if you have...
Anyone else using divelogin.com? I recently finished entering all of my dives (approx. 100) and went to enter another one today only to find the site coming up as "account has been suspended". It was a free online log and I was quite happy with it. Anyone else out there using it or having the...
The wife and I will be in the orlando area in early November and are looking to possibly do a wreck dive. Anything good in the Orlando area? Can anyone recommend a good charter boat? Any info will be great
Ours was a hand me down from the towns emergency management department, they had the team but it went dormant about 13 years ago. My department and another neighboring one took it over in 2009

I haven"t been able to get a good point of contact here in CT, it seems like either they don't know who to turn it over to or they just have no clue......the saga continues
My team is looking into purchasing an affordable sonar unit and is looking for some input. Like everyone else we are on a tight budget as we only get alittle of the fire departments money. I have heard some decent things about the humminbird, can anyone offer some advice? Feel free to contact me...
Glad to hear that your funding was restored, can't wait to see the finished product. We are hoping to replace our truck within the next year. All in all she's been a good truck just to small for us. Here's a before and after pic:
The wife and I are on a carnival cruise starting the 26th of October and will be visiting the ports of St, Martaan, St. Kitts and St. Lucia. We would both like to dive all three days but if we do it thru the ship its gonna be about another $900.00 for the both of us. Anyone know if we can get a...
Paul, Have you guys taken delivery of the truck? How is it working out for you? Any chance you can email me the specs? We are looking to replace our 35 year old truck within the next year. Email: jencks23@yahoo.com
Every diver on my team is fitted and issued his/her own harness complete with cutting tools. We start everyone out with them so they can get used to them.
The guys like to bust my stones but I even wear one (untethered of course) when I am rec diving just so I dive with pretty much the same...
About 8 years ago I had to testify in court about a fatal MVA and it fairly painless. I spoke to the prosecutors before I was called to the stand so that might have helped. One thing I have done since I joined the fireservice 23 years ago is to keep a journal of everycall and every year. I now...
Since most psd divers have some sort of Cert how about a scan of thier current cert forwarded to the moderator. I can see the importance of those of us in the emergency service field to network with each other to discuss equipment, calls, share procedures and SOGs.
I recently (1 year ago)...
