    This one is for the guy's!

    I think guys really appreciate fruit, but you have to show a little more care and concern than a fruit basket. What you do is take a lime, cut out a slice of it, and jam it in the top of a Corona. Now you have the perfect gift for the bored and hospital-bound man that shows creativity and...

    I got the Flu Help

    Hmm... not a flu, but a HIDEOUS cold rather recently. I liked this combination: Get the theraflu that has more drugs in it than a police evidence locker. Particularly the one with the highest dose of cough medicine(if you need it). It also has a high dose of sudafed (if you're fine with...

    Income Question

    I certainly don't. Probably why I've been wearing the same ratty work clothes for a year. "Hmm... designer pants? Designer wetsuit? New shoes or macro lens? Diving seems to win out every time... except for certain holiday weekends where it bites me and I end up working heavy overtime...

    random question

    There's no evidence suggesting that it does. Not to start a weird conversation thread, but it seems to smell wrong to them. The composition of menstrual blood is a bit different from "injured seal" blood smell. And I've dived while menstruating, but always with protection. It's bad enough...

    Poor viz diving

    I dive in poor vis and it's all right. I prefer good vis, but to me, anything over 20' is good vis. ;) I've dived in like 6 inch vis, and though it doesn't scare me, there isn't a lot of point to it. I don't get clausterphobic unless I can't move my limbs or if my neck is compressed, so no...

    What kick do you use?

    I think there's a GUE website that shows them somewhere. I always heard it as a "helicopter turn", but I'm not coordinated enough to do it, but I've gotten pretty effective at a weird modified turn that scissors my feet and uses my hand as a pivot point. It isn't pretty, but it's strangely...

    Ethics of shooting a "diver"

    Yeah, that's total BS. I'll frequently take pictures of divers just because I'm still playing with WA settings, and divers make good subjects. If someone body checks me underwater, I consider that a threat to my safety. Heck, if someone body checks me on land, I consider that a threat to my...

    What kick do you use?

    I only really like the dolphin kick when I'm screwing around in the water column. When I do, I like to make chattering noises through my reg (of course, I'm weird; I also like slapping my fins together on the surface and barking like a seal). I'll generally use the flutter kick to cover...

    under wear?

    I used to just wear a skin under my suit, but changing out of it in public can be tricky. Then wore a bikini under a skin under my suit, which worked well. Then left my skin on the rocks at Point Lobos (d'oh!), but lost weight so suit wasn't as hard to get on, so now bikini under the wetsuit.

    Pet safety peeves--no debating

    1. DMs that lead like a shark is chasing them when they're diving with a group of slug-slow photographers. 2. Resort divers that have technically logged more dives than you (off a boat in tropical waters drift diving) who act like the pros from dover when diving Monterey, despite doing...

    Spouses make bad buddies?

    I've actually been getting much better about that. When I first got my camera, you could be getting dragged off into the deep by a shark and I wouldn't notice. ;)
