I sent you a private reply, but got nothing back, is the email listed correct?

I think lots of folks here are chiming in from marine environments (barnacle encrustation). The boat hulls here in the Tennessee river and other freshwater environments get covered in algae, much easier to clean off without abrasives or high pressure (especially if you don't pull it out of the...

OK, I'm intrigued, what are x-shorts and where do I find them? The question of a pocket is one that consantly vexes me. For bottle and fossil hunting, one never has enough storage locations (I hate putting a bunch of bottles in one bag!) As far as looking nerdy, I wear a hockey helmet with...

Yesterday's litter is today's artifact!

My girlfriend is a jeweler with her own line. She noticed that a some trendy jewelery that the stars are wearing have shark teeth. I gave her a small meg tooth, and she made a stunning formal gold necklace with it. She used gold wire to wrap it, the wrapping part of the artistic look...

In cold water (under 55 F), diving dry vs wet is the difference between enjoying the dive vs surviving the dive. Scuba time is WAY too precious (there's that word again) to not be fully enjoying yourself down there. I've done too many really awesome cold water dives that I just couldn't enjoy...

The friction of massage generates a lot of heat in the muscle, which will drive out nitrogen much more quickly. I would NOT get a message right after a dive, especially one which had significant loading. Being dehydrated and getting a message would REALLY compound the issue. I'd wait at...

My first thought when I see two divers die is bad air fill? This is awfull, two people making the world a better place, living a wonderful life. Such a tragedy. We should all honor them by diving as safe as possible. From the description of these people, that's what they would want.

If it was, that would make it the COOLEST find on SB yet!!! Oh, and I DEFINTITELY wouldn't want to bang on THAT! :no

Definitely dig if in the area if you think you've found everything sitting on the surface. You'll have much more luck letting mother nature do that sort of work for you though, you'll want to hit the area after every good storm and heavy surf that might remove some debris. You'll find that for...

19 C is pretty chilly! I may bring my drysuit for this! A little too cool for my 4/3

Some exceptional finds! You may want to expand your search of that area, bottle are very social and like to hang out together in the same areas. That area you found them in may have been a dump. Keep up the good work!

A Deep Dixie Diver will be visiting Perth from the 19th until the 25th, and was hoping to get some Western Australia diving in while there. I'm actually there to visit a friend who has to work during the week, so I was hoping to find a local SB'er to do some diving with. Also, any...

I'm so jealous I could spit!!! Beautiful tooth. I'm heading back to the Cooper in November, I can only hope to do half as well. I did find a few mint condition D-patent Coke bottles (1939 - 1953) and a stopper top medicine bottle last Sunday. Water was warm, current was slack, just a...

Is there room for a Tennessee river diver at this thing? I'm scheduled to dive at the aquarium that weekend, but I'll try to work a swap and come down for the weekend.

Nice work BlackSam! Yet more vindication that the artifact diver need not be some academic welfare recipient archeologist. More knowledge about historical shipwrecks and their eras have come from salvors and recreational divers than will ever come from the acedemic elites. You're doing us proud!

The real safety feature of these is to inflate them underwater and acend with them above you to keep the mororns in jetskis and bass boats from wacking you as you ascend. Mine is the nylon cloth model with a mouth inflate, but I can manage to inflate it underwater by mouth (takes some practice...

I'll look for you, how do I spot you? Is there a Looney Bird Pennant that you fly? I'll be driving a silver diesel jetta wagon, and probably won't be up there until after noon or so.

Anyone heading to Loch Low Minn on Saturday (12th)? I was thinking of going in the afternoon, I need to get some shakedown dives in with some new gear. PM me if interested.

SMB?
