    TSandM -- Lynne Flaherty

    I cannot believe that she disappeared into the belly of the ocean! I am dumbstruck... I was fortunate to dive with her several times. Whenever I posted questions on this board she wold always reply in a sensible and constructive manner. I cannot even imagine what it would have been like for...

    Sorry folks for bothering you with this but I searched the topic on this forum I couldn't find anything, then I "cleaned" the browser history and cache but it didn't work. I cannot upload a new profile image from my computer still. (I couldn't find the cookies in Chrome ) Do you have an idea...

    Where did I go with my force fins?

    Fantasizing about scuba diving in the Arctic Ocean From the bush plane the January Arctic Ocean looks inhospitable, dark and dangerous. It’s hard to imagine that this freezing and unforgiven waterworld is home of amazing animals like walruses, ribbon seals, beluga and bowhead whales. I bet that...

    Scuba Quarantine Tomorrow Sunday, January 11, I am leaving the liquid water of the Salish Sea to experience, for the third time, the solid frozen water of the Arctic Ocean in the North Slope grounded on shore and wrapped up in several layers of clothing. My fins and the other "liquid water"...

    Where did I go with my force fins?

    First 2015 Dive! January 1st was a wonderful chilly and sunny day at Keystone Underwater Park. The current was favorable and the parking lot was buzzing with divers. We didn’t make it there on time to dive with Janna Nichols and her husband Claude, but we did have a nice after-dive chat before...

    New website about water

    It has been a big learning experience building my own website even if I used a template and no HTML coding. It has several portfolios. One is dedicated to underwater photography. Enjoy! I wish you an exciting and fun New Year! :) Betty Bastai Nature Photography & Videography

    Where did I go with my force fins?

    Diving into Mukilteo Fish Eyes Mukilteo T-Dock is a popular dive site whose main feature is a dome shaped structure made of plastic pipes. They may not be the best material for building an artificial reef but the marine creatures are so resourceful in turning whatever man-made objects they find...

    Where did I go with my force fins?

    First dive after a two month break: The beautiful and the ugly When the Seattle lights are glowing in the dark and create colorful lines over the cold water of Puget Sound a giant pacific octopus (Octopus dofleini) is fast asleep and a rockfish (copper? brown?) is swallowing a freshly caught...

    Where did I go with my force fins?

    Remembering summer 2014: Freezing my butt off while snorkeling in an alpine lake The water was crystal clear, the sun was shining and there was no wind. The lake was 5000 ft (1500 m) high and the air was warm. I wore my torso heater and the top of my Farmer John wetsuit, hood, socks and boots...

    Student critical after CPR - Washington state

    It's really sad that she didn't survive. I dived at Mukilteo yesterday and when I was getting my gear ready a man asked me if I knew something about this diving accident and replied that I did not have a clue. I tried to keep my head clear from thinking about it while entering the water. I...

    Rammasun targets Philippines

    20 typhoons? That sounds a lot! Sorry to read about the 30+ victims. Do people have underground shelters or they take refuge inside modern sturdy buildings? I wonder if you own a dive shop, boat etc. Do you have insurance or do you budget for the possible loss of those assets?
