Since it is a new boat, I figured I would post a report of my recent trip. We booked the liveaboard a couple of years ago, before the old boat was lost to fire. I will touch on both the liveaboard, as well as the week of land touring that we did, since it was all booked through All Star...

Got to dive a special-to-me wreck on the weekend that I have wanted to get to for a long time. My great grandfather sailed on the freighter J Emory Owen as an oiler for the 1902 shipping season. He sailed for several years on several ships, but this is the only one with written documentation...

I am booked for the Scuba Scene Liveaboard in October. Or whatever boat they are using then… I know there is some “weirdness” in Egypt with photography and photography gear, although I understand it is getting better…. All of what I read is about land-based photography though. Are there issues...

In case anyone is watching, episode 7 of Squid Game on Netflix involves the (brief) use of scuba and a DPV. Let’s just say that the dangling SPG is not even close to the top of the list of disturbing aspects of the show.

I have the opportunity to go to Belize Dive Haven in March 2020. I understand the place is brand new. Anyone know anything about the accomodation and dive op?

We are considering a Florida trip in Either March or July. Wondering if one month is better than the other? Water temp is not really relevant. That can be handled easily with exposure protection and gear, and will be warmer than the Great Lakes in either option. Wondering more about vis and...

George was a local scuba instructor. He passed away in February, but I never really considered posting his loss here till now. His obituary is available at George CHERNAWSKI's Obituary on The Windsor Star George never taught me a class, but I knew him through my LDS. We was involved with...

We recently booked a week in San Jose del Cabos for the last week of August. Staying at the Hyatt Ziva based on great reviews and a similarly great price at the time we were planning. This is primarily a family vacation with some diving as opposed to a diving vacation (my daughter and I dive...

I'll be attending a conference in San Diego from April 10-14, and was hoping to get some diving in on the 10th and 11th, likely shore dives one day and a boat charter on the other. I've seen lots of web pages describing the various dive sites. Any suggestions/recommendations for dive...

Just returned from an Alaska cruise with my family, and took the opportunity to do dome diving while in Ketchikan. Bringing dive gear on a cruise ship truly is a pain in the butt, but we were lucky enough to be in a suite, so the cabin was large enough to accomodate it once I managed to lug it...

In the course of reading "Dive Ontario Two!", I realized that this wreck is nearly next door to our family cottage near Stokes Bay. Now I am curious! The Saturn was a wooden steamer that sank in 1901, and apparently now rests in 85 feet of water near Stokes Bay.(ref "Dive Ontario Two!") Is...
