    attaching a strobe ...

    Just another idea... My PT-015 housing for my Olympus C5050 has the flash diffuser standing off from the housing body by an inch or so. What I did was wrap the fiber optic cable around the handle of my SeaLife digital flash like a vine, then routed it under the housing body and up the face of...

    New Queen Anne's Revenge Dates

    Thanks Chris. I guess I feel better about my visit... Kind of... Maybe... My biggest worry, obviously, is that I'm going to make the trip from central Florida, and get a rare opportunity to dive on a sand bar. :-) But isn't it odd to be trying to get sand to cover something that you have...

    New Queen Anne's Revenge Dates

    Today I found this AP article... http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/science/3678811.html Looks like they are going to spend $$ on something that they have no idea whether it's going to help or hurt the site. I've fire off a note to Lauren at Olympus Dive Center, who is the Dive Down...

    what is your favorite cold water wetsuit

    Hmmm..... I've got a Pinnacle Extreme (8/6 hooded semi-dry) on order that I expect to be here sometime next week... All reports I've read about the Pinnacle suits were very positive. But then a thread like this pops up, and no one's using it?? Please tell me that it's just because the...

    New Queen Anne's Revenge Dates

    Just a note to some... I know some people here had their 2005 Dive Down trips to dive Queen Anne's Revenge, canceled due to hurricane Ophelia... The official site: http://www.ah.dcr.state.nc.us/qar/ still has the Dive Down banner removed, but I've heard from Discovery Diving Co. in...

    Back in the ring for another swing...

    Fish Whisperer, We can do this together!!! I've smoked for 18 of my 36 years. I only tried to quit once in all that time, and that was over 10 years ago. I work as a construction supervisor and spend all day driving by myself and outside at job sites. As a result, I can smoke all day...

    Venice beach- night diving?

    Anyone dive Venice today (1/1/06)??? I drove over from Cocoa Beach yesterday morning, and snorkeled out a hundred yards, only to discover what I knew from the beach. I found the bottom by bashing my mask into the sand. I checked out the public beach, the pier, and Caspersen beach. ( I...

    I was going to this tomorrow, but..........

    Two antenna meet on a roof, fall in love and get married. The wedding wasn't much, but the reception was fantastic!! Two jumper cables walk into a bar. The bartender says: "O.K., I'll serve you, just don't start anything." A man goes to a butcher and bets him 50 bucks that he can't reach...

    Title in the Lyric

    Man, I'm terrible at this game!! This one is the song about the Edmund Fitzgerald, though I don't now the song or the artist.... If I get to post for partial credit I'd like to add: And the men who spurred us on Sit in judgement of our wrongs They decide and the shotgun sings the song.

    Title in the Lyric

    A hint to start with... BTW, the artist i was trying to think of at the biginning of this thread was Dr. Demento, and the song was actually Wet Dream in the Gulf Stream. If you haven't heard it, it's great. Specially for divers... Find a copy, it's worth at least one listen. (And it's rated...

    Spanish Treasure of a sort??

    While MD'ing an area in the Melbourne area, I found what turned out to be a seven link chain embedded in a piece of Coquina on the beach. I think it has to be quite old, due to the coquina that had built up around it. (Spanish shipwreck old??) As I started cleaning the encrustation off it, I...

    Florida Crayfish

    Just a shot that I got that I thought I would share with the board. In full disclosure, this animal is in my breeding aquarium, not at the local lake. But she is underwater, even if I was not at the time. :-) Lighting was a hand held Mag-Lite. Kind of nice I thought.
