    Scuba Frisco Robbed

    Scuba Frisco got robbed Thursday night (Jan 31). The absolutely cleaned out the BC's. They came in with trash cans and it really looked like that was the full intent. No idea on brand. The video doesn't show much beyond what I described. You do get to see about half of one guy's face. White male.

    Partnership to create largest artificial reef in Texas Six miles out is pretty accessible, but how often will the water be reasonably clear? Port O'Connor can get some good water late in the summer. I'm happy to see the efforts being made.

    My wife and I have been back a little over a week, and I think I'm about readjusted. We were supposed to be on the Pulau Weh Aggressor which is the Thailand Aggressor just moving for a few weeks. Due to weather and the Indonesian government being difficult, the boat didn't get moved so this was...

    Hi yall

    Where to spend 50th birthday?

I was on the Aggressor II. I'll spend my 45th in Thailand on the Thailand Aggressor next year. ( I...

    Playa Ocotal Costa Rica

    Just got back from a trip to Playa Ocotal Costa Rica. We had 6 good days of diving with Rocket Frog Divers. Neri, Ben, Chris, Jordan, and Yasir do a good job of running a safe and enjoyable operation. Favorite dive site was probably Big Scare.
