Thought # 1. I'm sure many of you have heard of the tragic death of the DM performing a rescue of another diver off the coast of North Carolina. Could this tragic death have been prevented? The answer seems to be an emphatic NO. The death was due to a health matter and nothing more...

You guys think you're funny... no one can see my posts

Hey... Can I borrow $10 or $20 K?

If you do 500 dives and do not log them... is that like if a tree falls in the forrest and nobody sees or hears it? Just curious if any dive operators judge people by their logbooks... or do they judge more by how a person sets up their gear, relaxes in conversation about diving... you...

Try the new kids book... Dick & Jane Go Diving

All real divers dive the 100 nekkid! Even here... we call it the Magical 100th dive... as little weiners disappear like magic in the 40 degree chill....

I find it interesting that dive shops think they can deny service to anyone without a C-Card. The ACLU should be notified. I'm sure if enough uncertified divers complained and brought forward enough lawsuits... something would give. I see the denial of any service equivelent to denying a person...

Around here divers without c-cards can go to the local air-fill house and get all the air they want!

Smart sharks... lure you to sleep then wham... just when yout thought it was safe!

Fly down the coast to Baltimore and stay Saturday the 25th... We're driving up for some quarry dives at Bainbridge!

I dive My Henderson 1 pc Hyperstretch 7/5 all the time in water about 42 degrees F. If I can do it, you can do it too... I was in the water this week at 41 F for more than 2 hours.... I see no problems as long as you have a 7mm hood and gloves and boots.... Happy Diving

Sometimes you need a boat... So on vacation in Roatan with a new Captain at the wheel we ran aground and tore the prop up so bad it wouldn't propel the boat through the water... so I volunteered to pull the prop off and replace it with the spare they had on board... the DM had no idea how to...

I have dove with Bull and Sand Tiger Sharks in North Carolina, Hammerheads in San Salvador, Carribean Reef and Nurse in the Bahamas, Grey Reef and Whitetip Reef in Australia, Blacktip and Grey Reef in Truk Lagoon and each and every time has been an incredible experience. On each of these...

Are you kidding me? Sharks are one of the greatest reasons to go diving. You can not walk through a den of Lions on the Serengetti or a pack of Tigers or for that matter Jackals or bears and get out safely... but you can swim in the middle of 100 sharks and feel quite confident that you will...

There are a lot of male fish in the water without girlfriends...

We dive in the rain - and the lightning all the time. Stay underwater and you're good to go!

Pain on ascent is called reverse squeeze or reverse block. It can be caused by underlying conditions or by the use of decongestants (stimulants) such as Sudafed. Some underlying conditions are "cheezy ear," a build up of ear wax, a small polyp or cyst in the ear, an ear infection, and an...

I know PADI and SSI Instructors with less thaN 75 dives total... and none of them in the ocean.... that amazes me..
