Does anyone know if they have ever found the wreck of the USS Indianapolis? I tried an internet search and came up empty. I'm surprised that there doesn't appear to have been a search for this very well known wreck, like has occurred with the Yorktown, the Bismarck and other great warships...

Before I catch hell for this, this was sent to me by my friend Richard who is from Winnipeg (*insert Manitoba joke here*): You Might Be A Jedi CANADIAN If...(the “alsocanadian” version) -You are still in the queue for your cyborg hand. -You keep voting for the evil emperor because "it's...

Here are the stats: Time available: 2 weeks When: Next May (the only time I'll have off from classes AND work at the same time) Options: Penascola? Venice (for fossils)? East Coast of Florida (wrecks)? The Keys? Anyone have suggestions and/or opinions about which of these places are...

Any good dives around Nassau that don't require a boat ride? Any wrecks that would be shallow enough for snorkeling? I'd like to take Jennifer diving with me when we go to Nassau next year, but she refuses to learn to scuba dive because of some fears she has....but she says she will free dive-...

Rather simple question: Are there any wrecks in Cozumel? I hear everyone rant and rave about good general diving in Coz, but I never hear anyone say anything about wrecks so it has brought me to ask about it.

BERLIN (Reuters) - Before leaving on vacation, a German couple set up a loudspeaker and timer with the sound of a crowing cock to blast their neighbors every morning. After complaints, police in the northern town of Itzehoe obtained a warrant to enter the house and discovered the gear...

Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions about dive resorts in the Keys......I'd be interested in hearing everyone's comments.

I like to dive for shark's teeth and other Miocene fossils in the Chesapeake Bay off of the Calvert Cliffs fossil beds (I always snorkeled before but now that I'm going to be certified (finally), I figure what the heck, more bottom time, etc.) so I'm planning a return trip for sometime this...

http://www.fossilguy.com/sites/potomac/mallow.htm http://www.dnr.state.md.us/naturalresource/winter2001/ghostship.html The Ghost Fleet of Mallow Bay....you can't dive 'em but I think it's still a pretty cool thing to go check out.

OK, well looks like I can rule out Gulf Shores as being a decent vacation spot for this coming January, so the search is on for an affordable spot for a weeklong vacation with diving. Wrecks are what interest me, and although coral is pretty to look at, it's just not my cup of tea. But at this...

OK, I have a question.....I've been mulling over the idea of a trip for next winter to Gulf Shores just to escape the miserable weather that is a given for the winter time here. I am hoping to do some diving and was curious as to what there is to dive on down there? Are there wrecks? I don't...

The SCUBA Diver's Prayer (or the Safety Stop Psalm) PADI is my shephard I shall not want to cross over to NAUI They maketh me dive in quarries and ponds before I am allowed to dive where I want The LDS they refill my tanks and lead me to the best paths to find choice dives For my own...

What shop does everyone recommend: 1. For instruction? 2. For purchasing equipment and tank refills? 3. For advice on local dive sites? Thanks everyone......

I have a rather simplistic question about Michigan diving....what's the earliest that it would be sane to go diving in a wetsuit in Michigan? Thank you. :)

Rather odd question, but seeing as I have established quite a collection of fire department, EMS and rescue patches over the past 7 or 8 years, I noticed something this morning when I was trying to reorganize them- I only have one dive rescue patch and that's one that a buddy of mine from...

I'm moving to Greensboro NC for a new job (or rather, I've been offered the job and I'm debating whether to take it or not). Is there anyone from there (or nearby)? I'd like some honest feedback on it (I don't count all the stuff the Chamber of Commerce posts about the town on the internet as...

Well, I think I have mentioned in at least one forum that we (my fiancee and I) have a pet duck we rescued from the local park after someone dumped her there. I thought everyone might like to see a picture of her (if there is a better place to put this please feel free to move it). Her name...

For those of you who have missed out on the latest installment in my ongoing battle to escape my own personal purgatory (more commonly known as Indiana) I am trying to find a place to live. The most recent suggestion I looked into was Houghton, Michigan I don't know why, but Jennifer (my...

OK....the great quest to decide where my fiancee' and I will wind up come May (when she graduates) has taken yet another turn as Jennifer can not seem to make up her mind for more than 2 days (Welcome to another exciting episode of "As The Estrogen Churns"....). I was looking online and came...

I want my OW cert.....I need it...I'm getting antsy sitting around here reading about all the nice dives y'all have. The LDS up here in Indiana are piddling around and I am tired of waiting for a spot to open so I can waste 5 weeks attending class one night a week just to get a card so I can...
