    Can't find a good movie or documentary about Scuba diving

    Gonna date myself here but try to find TV series Sea Hunt .... old school and a little hokey but for it's time it was state of the art. Like a lot of kids my age I grew up idolizing Lloyd Bridges

    Shipwreck Remains Wash Ashore- Ludington, MI

    Not all that unusual at all for that shoreline. A ways north of there check this out: Manitou Passage Underwater Preserve Specifically the Three Brothers. A sandbar washed away in 1996 exposing the wreck just off of South Manitou island. Knowing some of the parks people i was one of the...

    Turneffe Islands Dive Report

    It's been a bunch a years since we were there but i agree. The Elbow was nice, more a of blue water type dive as i recall but Half Moom Caye and Lighthouse reef were fantastic. Both more reef dives than than the elbow as i recall so it depends on what you like. Jose Wejebe (host of Spanish...

    Worst of Cozumel.

    For me the the worst of Coz is the proliferation of the cruise ship culture. When i first went to Coz you might see a couple cruise ship a week not bunches each day like it is now. It took a sleepy little carribean island and turned it into a commercial island. Progress is what it is but...

    How long between your open water and advanced open water course?

    About 12 years for me. I was happy with my BOW cert until i caught the teaching bug. That's where (as DCBC has alluded to) the "Put Another Dollar In" syndrome kicked in. Not the worst way to go in my book, had lots of good times taking those classes but no doubt it was a business model...

    When is a skill "mastered"?

    Having been away for awhile and after reading this thread it's comforting to know that when it comes to SB, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

    Cozumel ATM warning

    Yep, i remember the good old days when you might see a couple cruise ships a week, not a half a dozen or more a day. I'm not anti cruise ship biz but it sure changed Coz for the worse. No bout adout it.

    Cozumel ATM warning

    Too bad. Coz used to be such low crime place to visit. Cash and travelers checks were king and Cozumelians took great pride in being honest and helpful to us divers. I miss the old Cozumel.

    Traverse City Dive Sites shore dives middle of July. ??

    I've been on all those wrecks many times over the years but it's been awhile so i'm not sure they are marked at all anymore. SN would know. I don't think the barge or double ender were ever marked in an organized way. Maybe individual divers marked them from time to time with a Tide jug...

    Naked Dive for the 100th dive? Really?

    This thread reminds me of the first time i saw someone, someone i didn't know, diving in their birthday suit. It was in Coz. Some dude from another group made it a point to swim by us displaying his junk. Not swimming in a normal face down attitude but rather swimming on his side with his...

    Bitterness of Scuba Instructors

    The "Internet" has a high curmudgeon factor. SB is generally tame by comparison IMO. It's the Internet, by all means ask the question but consider the source carefully when you get an answer.

    Bitterness of Scuba Instructors

    Rhone Man, post #31 nailed it. Expecting what is posted on SB to mimic real life is about the same as believeing everything you read on the internet. While being a good general resource you still have to get out in the real world, not the electronic one, to figure out what is really going...
