Wearing the chain mail was a condition of being allowed to shoot right up close to the feeding and handling the sharks for my segment on tonic immobility. Let me tell you, they might "only" be Caribbean Reef sharks, but when there are pushing 50 of those puppies getting fed, they get very...

Here is our newest episode: Mayan Underworld!

This is a segment about what is by far the most incredible cave I have ever seen: the Crystal Cave on Abaco, Bahamas. I was incredibly honored to have Brian Kakuk as my cave instructor and guide into this magnificent place. I hope our segment does it a tiny bit of justice. It's a really hard...

Yeah, I have that affliction where it's hard to part with stuff I really ought to sell because I don't use it much. But I definitely can't sell my Aquamasters, they are too awesome.

System is sold. Feel free to delete thread.
