So the CT and MR show bone windows to the brain and I just scheduled endoscopic surgery in a few months to try to get the stuff cleaned out of the sinuses. Until then I have various medications to take. I'm not hoping on diving until surgery is done, but what is the typical future prognosis...

There was an empty one sitting on the picnic table by Stella's hut. No tags, just a completely empty box. It's still there, you should call Stella or the visitor center if it is yours.

I bought my current ones used and I think I'll need a few more over the next year, is there any likelihood of a deal from anyone?

I though I was getting this stuff down, but maybe not. I was diving in water that was far murkier than I expected, maybe 2 feet of visibility max. I couldn't maintain depth at all in mid-water without being able to see (OK, more like stare constantly at) the depth display on the computer. I...

I've found that in my Bare drysuit and the Bare SB base layer I can do a valve drill. With the SB midlayer on I can't reach the valves with one arm. I can't even touch the valve and I can get a solid grip with just the base layer. It was suggested that going to a 4th element undergarment...

The lake gates are locked and it is posted against swimming and fishing. We walked down the road and onto the dock. There were a few really tiny fish noticed, but the vis is awful and the algae looks dead. Apparently the rest of the fish (the ones the state stocked in the lake a little while...

So after a fundamentals class I decided I needed a canister light for practice. While I'd have loved to buy a good light I decided $1400 bucks was a bit more that I wanted to pay today, so I bought an Archon DH26 on ebay on June 30th for $168. It showed up today delivered by DHL, which was...

Stella said that there was a team from Texas working on accessing the cave under blue hole last week. Not sure what they accomplished, but they apparently were going to bring in another Florida based team to help them sometime in the future. This is supposed to be a different Florida team than...

I ordered a spare titan 2nd stage to use my old titan 1st stage as a pony bottle reg and what the store got in has the proprietary QD connector instead of the industry standard connector. I'm told that 2nd stage that allows me to use any of the many LP hoses I have is discontinued and only a...
