    Fish bomb kills DM, tourists - Malaysia

    I have been diving in this area. Singamata, a hotel/operator took me more than oncw to dive sites where blasts went off while I was in the water. It's very disorienting, you have no idea the direction or how close the blast is either.

    English tourist dies on Intro dive - Queenland Australia

    So three years, and no real facts? But the family lawyer is sending sound bytes to all UK news agencies saying that "they will find systematic failings" and "shocking revelations"... I guess we wait for them to travel to the location three years after the incident to find out what really...

    Kona Questions [macro photography, shore diving, LDS that offers packages, etc]

    I recently found out I am going to Kona. I have been contacting different LDS, but few seem to offer packages or discounts for multiple dives, some are like 175USD for a single dive (6 divers/guide). I had some questions: 1) Can anyone recommend an operator who offers discounts for 3 or so...

    Has anyone seen hairy frogfish, if so, whereabouts? Anything else of note? I was thinking about going over to dive in the next days. I usually like tiny guys and macro.

    Best Dive Resort in Tulamben for Photogs?

    Looking for a place that has guides with good eyes, and consistent power/elec. Camera tables would be a plus, but not as much as unlimited house reef dives being right on the wreck. In Indo can you dive solo in shallow water house reef if you have a solo cert? (dives to try out new snoot gear...

    Carolinas: Broad River: Diver In Critical, Any News?

    Charter company that sponsored fatal dive doesn’t have business licenses Latest update, looks like the dive shop didn't have a business license and the charter may not have had a captain's license. None of the divers had an SC hobby diver's license allowing them to dive for fossils.

    Carolinas: Broad River: Diver In Critical, Any News?

    Hi Steve, I would like to distinguish SC river diving from NC meg ledge diving for people who might not know. I have yet to do a meg ledge dive, from my understanding, people tie into the base of the anchor and solo dive at 100 feet, IMO this is much more dangerous than a 20 foot low vis solo...

    Carolinas: Broad River: Diver In Critical, Any News?

    I apologize, I should have mentioned this. These dives are solo dives, only on a rare day could you dive with a buddy, there is too much debris to be tethered, and the vis is a few feet to as few inches, and it's as black as a night dive at noon mid-day. You could perhaps buddy dive with...

    Carolinas: Broad River: Diver In Critical, Any News?

    In my first post I actually wrote 'que the 'you can drown in 2 inches of water' trolls', but then deleted it; hoping for the best. But seriously, let's not make assumptions and beat our chests to show who is the safest. As these threads are useful as learning discussions, I will chime in about...

    River diving for fossils in NC?

    Yeah I'm sick of trying ledge ops, I have had three cancellations, all the day before, sometimes when I couldn't cancel my hotel. The cooper river was 3 foot to 2 inch vis and I found many fossils. Also 80 min 6-8 meter solo dives. If an op actually goes out, I then have a 5 hour boat ride, and...

    River diving for fossils in NC?

    I had a great time on the Cooper in Charleston, but it would be nice if there was something closer. Anyone know of similar spots in NC? A casual google lists some rivers near Greenville, but they're mostly people panning.

    Article on Death In Ginnie Springs

    I wish the article was a bit more investigative or informative, little less speculative. Also, if there's no information, maybe next time consider not publishing instead of filling that void with speculation. (?)
