Great. Exactly where I do some of my collecting. www.nj.com/south/index.ssf/2015/01/south_jersey_shellfish_harvesting_suspended_due_to.html

A set of old photos I took in the late 70s on Negril's main 7 mile beach when there almost no hotels or tourists and the place was a pristine paradise with spectacular diving. They were on an old, long defunct Jamaican website that a friend directed me to recently. No superclubs, very few...

Are Skooba Totes dry suits still available? I remember seeing them at some point during Eisenhower's second term. They were $29.95, came in 5 sizes, and were made of stretchy gum rubber for a perfect fit. I think the directions were to wear one pair of long underwear in cold water, two pair in...

I am planning a trip to Dominica this winter. I've been there many times, but always flew American Eagle from San Juan to Melville Hall. Because AE is no longer flying out of San Juan, I've been considering Seaborne, which seems to fly the same schedule to and from Dominica. I would very much...

James Gandolfini, Rutgers 1983. Another Jersey Boy, and the genuine article. You will be missed, Buck.

It's been quite a few weeks since the extremely popular and valuable on line privately owned Scubapro Musum disappeared overnight with no warning, and under circumstances unpleasant to contemplate. The official party line was than Scubapro was going to replace it with a bigger and better museum...

I wonder, simply out of idle curiosity, if there is any good reason why a friendless person with no living relatives or artistic ability and a photographic memory would bother taking underwater photos? To avoid any misunderstandings, I should point out that I don't have a photographic memory.

The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. The obvious madness ended exactly 94 years ago, but the effects of the conflagration that began nearly a century ago continue.

These girls demonstrate the kind of basic water skills that should be required of every person befor undertaking scuba instruction. These are the fundamentals, the degree of ease in the medium that should be a prerequisite. Best acquired young, but still needed at any age...

Ball point pen, clear plastic, with corporate logo. Claimant must identify the logo, and correctly describe the approximate ink level.

Will Scubapro now make parts available to consumers, as Federal law requires of all manufacturers of consumer products? I hope this issue is addressed in a straightforward manner.

Today is Armistice Day. The significance of the day has been largely forgotten,and the date has been modified into a shopping opportunity. 89 years ago, at the 11th hour of the 11th day in the 11th month, after 10 million had been killed, the guns fell silent and the Great War, the War to end...

I have a large head, with a fairly broad face. My hat size is an 8, and adjustable hats that indicate "fits most" generally do not fit me. I recently decided to try the two new Atomic wundermasks, and was disappointed to find that each style was much too small. Browsing through the very...

At what age is it no longer appropriate to seek divine help by crying out "I'm too young to die"? Is there an effective substitute, some comment that will encourage God to intervene on your behalf?

Not only adorably cute, but something that should make us all feel optimistic about kids, and a message about which no one could possibly object. http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=2017065318

I'm curious, because of the many seemingly rational people who believe in magic books, angry/loving Gods dealing out post mortem bliss/hellfire, etc., to know if there are also people who believe that there is a Santa Claus who brings Christmas presents, and that a good fairy (not from Florida)...
