    Please sign petition to Stop the Distribution of Shark Fins

    florida spiny lobster

    I guess I'll chime in......hesitantly... I am a commercial lobster/ marine life diver. I don't live in the keys, and have never seen a "castilla". I work hard for my money, and collect fish/lobster in an ethical manner. I don't see a problem with that. There are 1.4 million trap tags out...

    DAN gets attacked by commercial spammer

    I wouldn't consider something credible because that mag says so. They have proven themselves biased, slanted, and unresearched in the past.

    What happened?

    Zeagle bc's are great and have a huge, devout following. I personally like seaquest, but admit that they missed the mark with the Fusion. I dive a Balance and a Black diamond. They along with the zeagle ranger and stilletto are in my opinion the best quality and practicality bc's on the...

    dir questions

    I did talk to a nice fellow from JUE in Japan. Talking with him is what got me to inquire. He was cool and made sense. After he left, others in the shop were saying the things I asked about. I had to ask because the way people talked about the DIR crowd didn't mesh with his positive attitude.

    dir questions

    I don't need a welcome from people like you, the people who answered my questions did a fine job.......... And even after being called an idiot and stupid, I try to clarify myself as uneducated and curious instead of firing back. My response to being called an idiot is to argue back and...
