I wanted to bring this subject up because I was alarmed to find out that a lot of sunscreens contain a certain chemical "Oxybenzone". This chemical has a toxic effect on young coral and causes endocrine disruption, DNA damage and coral death, among other problems. This is exacerbating coral...

I had to take a second look and read that this was in fact a real picture of the biggest great white shark! 'Biggest great white shark ever filmed' surfaces | GrindTV.com Unbelievably giant! Hope we keep this shark! Frank G www.zgearinc.com

I am not a fan of those super heavy self propelled devices. Most seem a bit to cumbersome and heavy, and I don't see myself or my wife using them. But I do like the concept of it assisting us in getting to or from dive site (shore dive at the kelp beds). and also being able to maybe navigate...

I have seen a lot of post regarding Lion fish hunting or irradiation. While I understand the evasive fish problem, I also have reservations in regards to hunting for the purpose of extermination or eradication. I would hope some would actually eat what they killed. Is this possible? Why are...

I kind of like stories like this because it makes some of us humans not so bad after all. I personally have not yet encountered an ocean animal in need of help. But this guy sure did!! \ Frank G www.zgearinc,com

Its pretty amazing to me that we now have the capability to actually make real looking 3D printed artificial reefs. The artificial corals will attract baby coral polyps to live in and build on them as well as attract organisms that live around coral reefs like algae, anemones, octopi, crabs and...

I like diving with my spouse. One of the things I like to try an do is be there for her if she needs me. It's no big deal it naturally forces me become more of what I should be, "considerate". Some times certain things we do can actually benefit us in different ways. I take this opportunity to...

I never realize how cool diving at dusk hours was like. We were running a little late and we thought we would just have a lot of day light left but as our day progressed we didn't make it in the water till late in the afternoon. The thing I thought was really cool as the dive went on and it...

This is kind of funny, last week my wife asked a friend if she would like to dive with us in San Diego and her response was no thanks " I'm a total dive snob". She said that she only dove in nice warm tropical waters. If that's the case there must be a whole lot of dive snobs out there !!! I...

First off I don't want to imply that the OW training from any of the schools are inadequate in the basic OW course. It just that there are a few things I have come to realize from being on this board, that I really should have learned during my OW class. One thing that comes to mind is the...

My wife recently told me she has been using her yoga breathing to help her relax and has subsequently noticed she is a lot better on her air consumption rate. She usually blows through her air but I have noticed recently that she has been remarkably better. I even had to check my gear to see...
