Fair winds and following seas... I bet he's having a drink with Doc Radawski at the CoCo View Bar in heaven. I refuse to believe in a heaven that doesn't have that view.

As someone who dove in a public aquarium for just over 20 years as an adult female, I can personally verify that at least some blacktip reef sharks, sandbars, nurse sharks, bonnet heads, sand tigers, black nose sharks, leopard sharks, horn sharks, swell sharks, tasseled wobegongs, ornate...

You might want to check on Lloyds of London. We (a public aquarium) had a hard time finding coverage for our divers in the field outside of the US. Lloyds was able to provide us with coverage that we could not find anywhere else.

I am hoping to attend if I can work everything out at work.

We have had this issue come up with our volunteer divers. Our medical adviser was very clear that the largest issue is why the individual needs the pacemaker (provided the device is pressure tolerant for the desired depth).

I completed your survey, but I don't think that it was very well designed. Did one of your professors review it?

He is 69. Maybe 10 years will be a life sentence.

They are white with a black stripe (electrical tape) spiraling down it. We have two lengths (some divers prefer a shorter shark stick for ease of carrying it). We have also added a cross guard on the sticks that we use with our sawfish after a sawfish rostrum slid down a shark stick and made...

We use shark sticks at work (public aquarium that displays sand tigers, sandbars, nurses, and other smallewr species) and they really are to provide a visual barrier. There is no learning curve for the sharks to respond to the sticks. The sticks can also (rarely) be used to make contact with an...

I cannot imagine how the families and loved ones of the victims (I hate that word, but it is absolutely correct in this circumstance) must have felt seeing/hearing that. I cannot imagine being told that there is no recourse against the owner. I can imagine what I would want to do...

Thank you for making this available. I can see why the defense would do everything possible to exclude it.

That's kind of far for a 4 day trip from the US...

We took rebreathers to CoCo View once back in 2013 or 2014. We shipped our sofnolime down in advance and arranged for 02 from a local vendor. IIRC, we had an issue sourcing helium locally. I will be honest and say that I have never bothered to take my rebreather back to CoCo View and I go...

Lake Mead has the B-29 which I believe is in recreational depths now.

I think that this will depend on her personal trim. Some people have floaty feet even in wetsuits (like me). My wife has a pair of old school Scuba Pro Jet fins in pink so those are out there. Jackie

I have on-going ear issues and dive regularly for work - these dives frequently require a lot of up and downs which wreck my ears. I have found that a combo of using EarShield before the dive and alcohol/vinegar after the dive works best for me. I also have a Mack's Ear Dryer which helps if I...

I re-uppd my Supporter subscription on 8/8. Still not red again. Thanks, Jackie

People aren't used to the reality of being 100 miles from help. I appreciate the safety stance of the the Fling and I am sure that when Wookie ran the Spree in the FGBNMS he was even safer (based on the one trip I made on the Spree in FL). A hundred miles from help is a long way...

Since no one has really addressed your question about Marijuana and diving, I will share what DAN has to say - I attended F Tillman's presentation on it at DEMA in Orlando a couple of years ago. I was interested because Maryland had just legalized medical (we now have recreational) cannabis and...

I have stayed in everything except the on-shore rooms (beach houses, cabana, and bungalows). I far prefer the bungalows. They feel more private and convenient. I am sure that you will have a good time regardless of which room you end up with.
