I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were there.
Only an idiot would state that a 175 to 200 pound man (plus all his equipment, weights and tank) dropping approx 4 feet and striking someone directly on the head (with the tank) would not result in a serious injury.. only requiring a few bandaids...
You are very lucky, it could have been much worse.
The worst Scuba Diving accident I have ever seen happened on my very first trip to Cozumel in 1990.
We were diving on a small boat and doing bankrolls off the side. The crew was vigilant in that they watched the divers bankroll off the side...
I saw this article today and thought I would pass it on.
I don't know how much they will be enforcing this but thought a heads up might be warranted.
Here is a paragraph from the article..
-- George Hobica of Airefarewatcdog was taking a routine jaunt through airport security when he...
I saw a report (on TV) about this bill a couple weeks ago and from what I understood from the report it would "roll back" some of the requirements that are now in place that the airlines don't like (but benefit us) and once again make it easier for the airlines to tack on extra charges but...
No spots but one of my favorite shots.. because it took me almost an hour (fighting a swift current) during a SCC shore dive to get this guy to come totally out of its hole so I could get a full shot of it.
Full size shot.. http://www.amazingfotos.net/postings/cozumel/jaw.jpg

This is what I look for to identify that it is the same turtle. Most of the photos I've see have this same grouping of barnacles on the crease of its shell. It looks like the same pattern in gerbow's original post and video.
Check for this grouping the next time you see it and you will...
Excellent footage on the video. I have had the good fortune to see the Loggerhead (Edmundo) several times on multiple trips. On my last trip we came upon it at Yucab and again at Dalila a few days later. It wasn't shy and tolerated divers getting fairly close with cameras. It is truly a...
The 44 pounds (20 kilos) includes all your bags, including your dive gear, clothing bag, carry on and personal item bags (not like US Airlines that don't weigh your carryon and personal item bag). At that time they were using the old mechanical scales that moved around on 4 wheels (like they...
Hi,
Thanks for your concern. I'm still here, alive and almost kicking. I've had a VERY bad dose of the flu for well over a week now and it just doesn't want to let go. Really knocked me for a loop even though I had a flu shot.
Robin - I haven't signed on lately so I missed your PM. I'll...
A while back there was a thread about GoPro cameras and I posted about the family of new divers that were bobbing and weaving all over the place trying to get video with the father wearing a GoPro head strap. The one boy was very nervous on the boat that day because he was a new diver. Well on...
Not to long ago I was in a group and watched as a fairly new (older) diver with no skills and no buoyancy control try to video his family of four with a GoPro on a headband. The camera wasn't pointed anywhere near where he was trying to shoot, his head was in constant bob, weave and swivel...
Nicely done.. just the right length with an interesting mix of critters and divers.
I really liked the music you picked for the first video, it seemed to fit the scenes perfectly !!
