Meg. is abbreviated megaladon, a specie. So "meg"s could be almost any size depending on the specimen that wore them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megalodon The megalodon, Carcharodon megalodon, (from ancient Greek μέγας = "big" + 'οδού&#962...

Well, the house I live in on Venice beach will be for rent or sale in a week. Venice is between Tampa and Ft Myers on the SW coast and I can walk 75 yards to one of my favorite dive sites. Private neighborhood beach entrance and very desireable area. Google Earth 10 Gulf Manor Drive Venice...

Starting Saturday, 6 days of NE winds forecast, so it could get even better...

So now we're the clickers vs. the scrollers? BRIAN: Are you the Judean People's Front? REG: &%#! off! BRIAN: What? REG: Judean People's Front. We're the People's Front of Judea! Judean People's Front. Cawk. FRANCIS: Wankers. BRIAN: Can I... join your group? REG: No. Pi$$ off. BRIAN: I didn't...

No, only one subforum for clubs is being proposed at the root. All clubs created are grouped together there. What do I care if others want to gaggle or clutch? The proposal is for a single conch forum, three subforums (and none of them inherently subregional.) "Yea" is a vote for a single...

I don't think it saves a click...but it does cost real estate. Putting the clubs under one subforum does not mean extra clicks, because the clubs are listed after the subforum title, no? They're just a lot smaller...

I think no split is proposed. Instead, the splitters are all in one subforum. You are not voting on the splitter's names. A Yea vote means one conch forum, and one subforum for trips and local marketplace, and one calendar, and one subforum of X groups. Edit to add: I may be wrong, but I...

Straw poll: SW FL[X] Tampa[ ] The right choice is obvious to me...

The IQ of a committee is the lowest IQ of a member of the committee, divided by the numbers of members on the committee. That gets halved for actual democracies. This question is being squirted about because for each person it becomes a discussion of personal indentity. The last diving club...

I'd say lose the Subforum A, B, C leaf altogether. Trips and Calendar should be statewide, IMHO. And put three or four regional labels on X number of regional or site-specific unrestricted "clubs." Add other clubs as TOS allows. Florida Conch Divers --Trips and Local Marketplace... Florida...

I know what that's like. :mooner:

If we must be North and South, so be it. I'm even warming to the thought of clubbing Tampa. But please consider moving the Venice threads out of there and into South Florida. The way I see it, Venice is a place you go diving. Tampa, OTOH, is a place you come from to go diving. So I...

I don't understand why something so unimportant irritates me so much. All due respect, I think Tampa's a dump. :( Now I wake up, and find out I'm in the dump too? :no This may not be a total blunder, but it's in the Greater Blunder area. I'll just assume for now the "transition" is...

More than one poor little peckerfish has had to look forward to passing an earring post after sucking the delicious looking thing from a diver's ear. Others discover the bilious crunchiness of moles or warts. Recommend to hide the tender bits.

Not foolin'... Man, it's been a long terrist season. I hit the beach yesterday like a penguin on Prozac. I stood near an hour in the shallow surf trying to gear up. Lost one new jet fin, and my DSS linecutter. Then I drifted downwind and current while bouncing along the bottom in booties, on...

ReefGuy's guide is spot on. I'll add, on your specific questions, how I approach the beach dive. The sea is a big washing machine. On sandy/clay plains in shallow water the weather does a good job of uncovering things. Although you will probably find some things by digging and blasting...

Odiferous. It came on Halloween and was worse yesterday than today. Yesterday you could tell the beach was loaded with carcass, without even walking out there. Today, the water settled and the wind turned. Hope tomorrow is even better. Let us know what you find.

We're so saddened to hear of this loss. If there is anything friends can do for the family, please let us all know. Reefguy, May the future bless and comfort you and all your loved ones.

I wouldn't interpret this as too bad. In fact, I think there's evidence that for the last 8 weeks or so we've had varying degrees of red tide blooms floating around just offshore. Dependent upon wind and current, we get alternate days of clear and not-so-clear. It can blow up in less than a day...
