Thanks, Victor. Hey, how'd you do that? I couldn't get my Excel graph to post properly. As you can see, we left the bottom and began our slow ascent at about the 28-minute mark, riding the current over the reef. The stop at 32 minutes/50 ft. was in mid-water and was intentional, as a "deep...

We were all breathing air. For those who want to see a dive profile, here is the one from my wife Katy's Suunto Cobra computer. Minutes are along the left vertical axis, and each column shows the depth at ten-second intervals. As an example, at time 10 minutes, thirty seconds, the depth is...

I can't speak for others, but I ALWAYS want something really bad not to be true. And 99 percent of the time, it isn't. That habit serves us poorly in the case of DCS, however. Alert Diver Magazine (Summer 2013, p.50) had an article about this by Neal Pollock called "Acclimatization", saying...

FYI - Mike and his wife Linda will visit here to read your thoughts and answer any questions you may have. Your kindness will be appreciated. Mike is 63, six foot one, slim and physically fit, a PADI dive master with four decades of diving experience. On March 3, 2013 he suffered Type II...

Good for you, Bob. And Congratulations. :D This is a good decision for just about everybody, including the octopi.

One thing that I love is the portability of the camera itself. I bought a 8"x10" case and put the whole darn thing in it (camera, waterproof case with extra doors, LCD screen, red filter, lights, spare batteries, chargers, cords, etc.), except for the tray and arms.

I just finished doing 9 dives in Xcalak with my Hero3 and it all worked really well. I am using a red filter and two UK lights. The first two dives I just shot continuously, but then I became more selective, just capturing shots of this fish or that coral. I used the 1080 x 24 setting and it...

I also just bought a Hero3 Black, and I'm not a photographer, so this is all new stuff to me. I plan on taking the camera on a dive vacation in March, so I have 3 weeks to learn how to use it. I bought a 32 GB Sandisk microSDHC card with adapter, and a hand held mount with a flexible arm and...

Great news! Now, if we could just achieve the same results with tigers, rhinos, elephants, sharks, dugongs, blufin tuna, swordfish, and a few dozen other species that are fast approaching extinction, we may be able to hand this world over to our children without too much shame.

My wife and I just got back today from 2 weeks in Truk and Palau. Palau is great, with a beautiful mix of hard and soft corals, wall dives having lots of small sharks, and the manta dives were exceptional. The storm did some damage to the beaches and picnic structures, but the dive sites we...

Thanks, Ken. In post 73 I provided the link because it provided more information (than I had yet seen in this thread) about Staci Jackson, along with photos and an interview with her relative. ---------- Post added December 4th, 2012 at 09:10 PM ---------- Might I suggest here that any...

Here is a late report: http://www.cbs8.com/story/20241260/divers-body-recovered-identified-as-local-marine

It seems to me that we've had far too many dive accidents here in San Diego. I don't know why. I'm not an expert on local conditions, but I do know that our ocean here in San Diego is a bit deceptive: From shore, it can look just as calm and blue and inviting as any tropical beach. Even our...

Ken, if a tech diver finds a body at 175 feet, what is the recommended recovery procedure?

Here is a little more detail. My hat's off to these tech divers who volunteered to search the deeper parts of the canyon after so many others had been unsuccessful. I'm guessing that their selfless actions will make a big difference to the friends and family of Jeffery May.

Another story here in San DIego reported this: "Divebums" reported that a local tech diver discovered the body at 175 feet. He might have had to remain down to decompress for some time. He may have removed the weights before sending the body up with the air bag. The kayakers and swimmers may...

I really do think the mods do a great job. And so, I have started a special musical tribute to them, which everyone else is invited to add a verse to: (Sung to the tune of HMS Pinafore: First Lord’s Song. Gilbert & Sullivan) When I was a girl my mom taught me To never ever use a crass...
