On Saturday ucfdiver (from Florida) joined a great group of divers on the Spectre with hopes of verifying Rainer's assertion that Sea Lions Love Scooters. I'm no scientist, but I think he may have been correct. 9YFlxAZJboQ&sns=em Ended up being a great day on eerily glassy water, with one...

Horrible news. rip

Sorry - just viewed this on my computer. FYI, when I use TapATalk from my phone, moderator comments are illegible.

Consider this a spinoff of the copyright violation thread that I don't wish the bump. There seem to be a number of users fairly well versed in the law. My understanding is limited to the open source licenses I extend with my images. Hypothetical but very realistic situation: Photographer...

DEoQSTw9P1Q Simply awesome. Maybe it's the allure of diving something that's been so shrouded in secrecy, or maybe it was just an cool dive. Lots of ambient light even at 188 feet, more fish density than I've ever seen, very little fishing net, reasonably warm, a couple of wolf eels, lots of...

I originally posted this in the DIR forum due to commentary on team diving, but I think there is some value in sharing it here as well. There is a lot of good discussion in the original thread, so feel free to peruse: Things that make you appreciate the team Comments are welcome.

Last night I had one of those moments. A few things went wrong in short order, and lead to a big f-up. If I believed in one, I'd thank god for my team mates. Plan was a simple external wreck dive on the local Palawan. The boat left the harbor at little after 7:30PM, so it was pretty dark (as...

This is just too cool. Undersea river discovered flowing on sea bed - Telegraph

I went up to Yellowstone for four days over the Memorial Day weekend. Unfortunately it snowed most every night and was covered in clouds almost the entire time. Regardless, I had great luck with wildlife, and at least caught a glimmer of the beauty of the park. I'd love to go back when the...

About 7" long, taken in shallow water in French Polynesia with a sandy and coral bottom.

Preface: I have no reservations that split fins are easier to kick than paddle fins. They "give" against the water. That's a no brainer. For some, that suits their leg strength, endurance, and style. For others, a blade works better. This thread (I hope) won't become "blades are better" or...

Given charter cancellations, I'm thinking about taking the express over to the island tomorrow to dive the park. It is supposed to start raining tonight at about 7PM and continue through late afternoon tomorrow. I've never done the park during/after rain. Any locals or regulars have any...

Here are a handful of photos from my recent trip. I shot mostly video, and am working on putting them together. It was my first time to Coz, but it will not be my last. (and next time hopefully I'll have a strobe, or at the very least a red filter) :D

Jan 5 brought the first El Norte of my recent Cozumel trip, so a few of us went over to Playa for a couple of cavern tours. Here's a video of Cenote Kukulkan, which is part of the Chac Mool system near Puerto Aventuras. In retrospect, I would have made it a little shorter since it kinda drags...

I brought my brand-spankin' new housing (canon SD960 P&S, Ikelite housing) and shot my first dive video with it off the Lois Ann with Rainer, Jenth and a non-scuba board member last saturday. Visibility wasn't spectacular, and I don't have a video light (currently), but I think it turned out...

my current underwater camera is an old-ish Canon SD550. Before I head to Cozumel in January I've been wanting to pick up something new (at a minimum I'd like SDHC). Topside, I shoot canons due to my collection of glass, but underwater I'm looking for a reasonably cheap solution, so will be be...

I've been wanting to try some shore diving out in the north county region of San Diego (Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside, etc.) over the thanksgiving holidays. Any suggestions? Most web searches I've run return either dead links or stuff that ends up talking about La Jolla. Thanks! MB

I’ve now had a good night sleep, and have had some time to reflect on the last three days. The same crew from my UTD Overhead Protocols class converged on an unsuspecting San Diego for three days of intense training. This would be UTD Wreck 1. The students: Andy - advanced trimix diver, full...
