This is my 50th year in diving & over those years ( of both commercial diving & recreational ), I've found, or have be part of finding, some pretty neat stuff, but I'll focus on the recreational side: > cremated human remains > boats, boat motors, cars, trucks, bikes, motorcycles, shopping...

Yikes! Can't say I've heard of that happening before; I did the long-hose wrap for many years, but now, I'm mostly a shallow water puppy.

I say do away with the arm sweep method; instead, "necklace" your alternate - if you lose your main, just dip down and use the alternate, then take your time recovering your main. For newer divers who may tend to panic, this is a much safer alternative.

I didn’t make the channel public as there isn’t a lot to it; I just film the best of my finds.

It typically takes me a LOT of dives to find something really good, but there are exceptions! Not too long after Dream Find 1, I happened upon Dream Find 2 - a beautiful old hand-blown black glass bottle, circa 1820...

My condolences on your familial loss. Oral surgery is not the most fun you’ve ever had, I’d wager! So, back in the saddle and score some awesome glass!

Thanks GTADW! As to the location, I’m afraid that’s top secret!

Started out this dive season hoping to find something from Belleville, but never suspected I might locate a pre-confederation bottle from the town! I'd searched an area thoroughly and was ready to call it a dive when I caught the glimmer of glass as I passed by an area I had already searched - a...

Thanks C-D! How is your summer hunt going?

Having a stellar bottle hunting season this summer! Here's a quick video...

64 yrs. young / 50 years diving as of next June. Currently planning my 50th dive year anniversary itinerary - any suggestions?

It was located by Provincial archaeological divers some years ago ( I believe they filmed it ); it was reportedly just a pile of lumber on the bottom - completely collapsed.

I thought it appropriate at around the 17 minute mark ( of this very painful-to-listen-to video ), that the sounds of sirens from an emergency vehicle could be heard in the background...

When I was working the offshore oilfields in S.E. Asia I ran into a guy who either worked that job or knew someone who did ( sorry, it was a long time ago ) - he said ALL the gold was brought up. The supposed remaining bars were actually smuggled up and away past the watchful eyes of the...

Nothing shown on my Top Shelf contained any original contents, though in some instances, the original "stopper" was still in place. Many of these bottles contained soda of some description. Like others posting here, I've found bottles ( typically newer than the type on my shelf ) with some, or...

Thought I'd share a pic of my current "Top Shelf" finds ( subject to change as The Hunt continues! ) - enjoy!

Leaving Sunset House tomorrow... With a wee dram of sorrow. Witnessed the devastating effects of this cursed bacteria which, I've recently learned, first appeared off of Miami, and is now spreading through the Caribbean - the so-called "Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease"., and it was painful to...

I'm at Sunset currently & have found very few retailers or restaurants who are requiring masking - most say it's optional, while only 2 we found to have a mandatory stipulation.

Thanks Doc. I believe two of the 3 case studies featured in the paper involved patients with a history of smoking. I suspect divers whose medical &/or lifestyle histories may make them more susceptible ( eg: un-diagnosed copd folks ) would be at greater risk. I have a friend whose been a...

Greetings, Was reading an older published paper ( 2003 ) the other day where the premise was the question of whether "Professional Divers" should be required to undergo a chest ct scan, to look for "pulmonary air-trapping lesions." In his words: "Chest x ray examination is mandatory for...
