I did my IANTD training in Vallarta and I'm pretty sure the base shop was Vallartech, located at the marina. I've more recently been sending emails back and forth, to and from one of the guys there, no problem. That trip there was someone on the boat that did a 240ft Trimix dive, not from...

Nice rig. I just pickup up the Apeks BP and WTX6 wing. The guys in the store helped me set it up and even changed the buckle out for a better one - this took 45 minutes to get the webbing right and the fit perfect. I then dove it this weekend. Should of done a try-out dive first, to get the...

Dove the Quetzalcoatl in Caleta de Campos, Michoacan, Mexico this weekend. I'll post more on this later. The maximum depth is 90fsw. Condition is excellent. Some small 1-2 inch metal struts are rusted through, 4-12inch coral fans, lots of life. I did not do any penetration dives, but a...

Just a guess but I would look at Diving St. Thomas Virgin Islands Diving St. Thomas Wreck Diving USVI Snorkeling Scuba Diving Vacations St. Thomas Virgin Islands Scuba & Snorkel Equipment Rentals - Admiralty Dive Center Just returned from a weekend of adventure. Dove an unexplored ship in...

Ya. I agree with the diving in Bonaire being the same site different name and I couldn't walk away from a meal without paying $40-60 per person... but the apartment has a stove. The cost doesn't include breakfast but included for $12 extra per person - of course accommodations are included...

I've been looking at Dive Centers around the world and have seen some excellent values - Vietnam, Nicaragua, Bonaire -- Nicaragua for example: Flight LA to Managua flight transfer to Big Corn Island, Hotel 14nights and 20 Dives - $1200US pp/dbl occupancy. Bonaire: Flight LA to Bonaire...

Just finished the Underwater Photography Instructors Specialty Course. I don't have the outline here but this is what I remember: Review of equipment, basic rule-of-thirds, how to white balance and why it's important, some info on histograms (this was new), work flow, editing programs (Adobe...

No information regarding the "Sinoloa" - No information regarding exact location of the "Valle" I did find, and this is a well known dive destination near Acapulco, that the RMS Restigouche is located in 230 fsw (70msw). Acapulco is a little more the 6 hours from Caleta de Campos. Wikipedia's...

My condolences to his friends and family. Two unfortunate passings have been announced today - Richard Mork's and Brian Howard's - let's ensuring whatever the cause of these accidents are that we find ways of stopping them and keeping safe through prevention - our communities better dive...

Ag; Thanks for speaking up. So too much market for tech or no market for tech? You should know. Bryan

New opinion of the market for tech. I just completed my classroom and pool session for IANTD Adv. Nitrox and Deep Diver. First Technical diving is not a dive trip - it is an expedition. Once certified to dive using deco- and trained on doubles, knowing how to complete all the calculations...

Nereus - You'll be at DEMA, I'm sure we'll get the news.

I've been speaking with a Poseidon representative here in Mexico, they are the local RAID affiliated dive center here. Yesterday he showed me one of his Meg's and around the facility, and while looking at his stock he mentioned the Cis-lunar and showed me the life size cut out in the lobby I...

Talked with ALBERTO at Oceanos today. His report on the Trimix Dive was that the boat captain never showed up - they didn't get to dive the ship. The worst report I think I have ever heard. I'm not too sure what they are doing about it but next time I'm sure this will be resolved. I'll let...

Still no information on the survivor of the Sinaloa. A search of the retired Navy vessels could not find a reference to another ship sunk in the area. One sold for scrap, one sunk in the Gulf near Vera Cruz at 80m, our "Valle", and other decommissioned ships so far marked as unknown - I'll put...
