I have a friend headed to Maui, but not a scuba board member. He is a newbie diver. Who would you recommend to dive with? Thanks Roger

Aloha It was time to stop working so hard on my career "real Job" Since I gave up teaching, and dive guiding, I have been spending way too much time on land. I got to go out with my old friends at Dive Oahu, Friday Morning. Did Sea Tiger and Kewalo Pipe. It was great to run into Marco, and Brian...

Aloha All I went out for a camera walk with Justleesa this morning. At least thats what I call a walk where you take pictures.. Lisa got some cool pictures of dragonflies. Some folks bicycled by, and I heard one child say to his dad as a mongoose ran across that road, "look, an Oahu chipmunk"...

Aloha All Captain Bill aka Terry Lind passed away this morning. Captain Bill has been helping us move to our new abode in Waipahu, and was supposed to help out some more this afternoon. Beverly, his wife called me around 11:00 am to say Bill would not be able to help out today, as he had passed...

I was cutting the dive boat loose at the YO 257 this morning. It was raining hard at the surface, and very cloudy, and totally overcast. It was almost twilight feeling as I went back down to the ball. I saw a shark passing by the white tip we had spotted earlier on the bottom. Since the white...

Aloha All A strange thing happened Thursday. I was leading a dive around 10 am, and on the dive I heard some strange noises like explosions, and vibrations. I looked all around, and saw no boats overhead or anything weird. When I got back on board the boat, I asked if the navy or Coast guard...

It started to rain a while ago...very hard and it is now 3 inches from flooding into our appartment...

Aloha All I don't know if you have noticed, but Turtles like to rub up against objects. They will rub against rocks, wrecks, underwater moorings, etc. At Turtle Canyon, off Waikiki, we have submerged moorings, with a mooring ball, and enough excess line to reach the surface, and tie off the...

Aloha all, Just picked this one up, now I can look like James Bond in the movie Thunderball! :D Aloha Turtleguy

Aloha All Well, we finally did it. Justleesa and myself got married. We did it our way, underwater at our favorite reef, Turtle Canyon, right here off Waikiki. We had 18 of our friends on a nice shallow 40 foot, with all of our favorite Turtles in attendance. We had to do the dive shallow so...

I have purchased two US Divers Vulcan Knives, but I noticed some differences between the two. The Scabbards are Identical, but the blades are marked differently. One is marked US Divers "Vulcan", and has a sawblade on the top. The handguard is stamped Japan, and a Patent number. Second is...

Here is a link to the trailer for the new Bill Murray movie "The Life Aquatic". It is a Cousteau Spoof. There looks to be some nice vintage gear, UDS-1 & double hose regs. Great cast should be fun. Turtleguy http://lifeaquatic.movies.go.com/main.html

Aloha Everyone I am again looking for parts. This time for the US Divers Aquamatic. I know it was only produced for a few years. Well its worth a try, could you look and see if you have any parts for the old US Divers Aquamatic reg? I am looking for part 1003-16 diaphragm cup. Thanks again...

Well, we did another vintage dive. I did the first one ,with my buddy Lisa. I did the dive with a rebuilt DA Aquamaster, and we hit 100+ feet. The Sea Tiger was fine. Then we went to Kaiser Reef, Lisa did a fun dive with vintage gear. Aloha Turtleguy

Aloha Everyone. I was wondering which regulator came first, the Voit 50 Fathom chrome model, or the Blue painted one? Aloha Turtleguy

I got a nice e-mail, from one of the older lady divers I know. I do a lot of guiding dive tours, had taken her a many dives. After and before the dives, I love showing off my photos, of vintage dive gear. She said she had some items of scuba gear she wanted to get rid of, and would I want them...

Aloha, my latest vintage dive was on June 24, at the Sea Tiger, here on Oahu. I dived my rebuilt Royal Aquamaster to 125 fsw, with a j valve tank 2250 psi. Don't you just love the freedom not having a BCD, to slow you down? I sure surprised the Eagle Rays cruising the wreck, as I was right in...
