    Penn and Teller - Bad TV with wings

    "I did notice the guy that was a roto and the octo woman. Also noticed that Teller was sometimes a hand diver and sometimes not. Looked kinda fishy to me." What is a hand diver? Also there are several comments about people with snorkles. What do you mean?

    "Into the Blue"

    That second picture of Bisset diving dangerously (sans BC) generated a lot of interest in scuba when it was released in the 70's. I hate to date myself but these were sort of pre bc days. The BC was just starting to become the norm and not in the tropics.

    Into the Blue Movie Review

    Saw “Into the Blue” yesterday in Oahu. I’ve been weighting eight months to see it. Any movie or book about diving that tries to make a good film usually does in my book. The acting, diving, and atmosphere were great. John Stockwell, the director, always does a great job filming cool, hip...

    How to reduce unwanted camera motion?

    I do the same as Dr. Bill and over weight. I’ll add an extra 6 pounds on two clips to my belt with one on each side. Some times I’ll drop my fins and stand or kneel on the bottom. A lot of it has to do with body control getting your body in a relaxed position where the camera is pointing...

    1100 lb Tiger Shark caught in contest near Martha's Vineyard - Combined Thread

    Wow. There is something about the size of the Tiger sharks jaws that make it look enormous. A photo of a 1,200 Mako from a couple of years earlier has such a smaller jaw area. Maybe it’s just the angle or the way the jaws are positioned.

    I am definitely going to stop using my old filled scuba tanks for target practice. I feel like such a dummy.
