As you may have noticed, we seem to have turned a corner. Come into a new age. The Age Of Wormil. Wormil has come out of the BanLands and saved threads and posters. He has derailed, trolled, and educated the masses... In these final hours of 2010, we bow to the Awesomeness. And ask...

Hiya. I am going to offer this thought because I answer a lot of questions every week. For all those new divers, or those new to getting their own equipment. I think it is a good idea to ask other divers' opinions on gear. Just remember that we all have our own point of view and biases. Not...

Just what happened to be on the boat today. I've started a herd/school/flock..... I can't get it embedded big... It's in my photos on my profile. 4 different sets. 1 student, me, and two others on the boat who were old students of mine. I like the light and look. It turned out to be my best...

OK, so there I was, at my new dive shop, (yes, I am now a business mogul.....), looking at the pool. My hubby walks through the door with a box from our APO. He hands it to me and I see the Force Fins logo on it. Hmmmmm. I didn't think I had ordered anything that hasn't already arrived...

So. Fishing here in Kuwait is not well supervised. The shrimp boats drag the bottom and many animals and plants are damaged. They do have to carry safety features for turtles and dolphins, but.... Many local fishermen, however, are not scrupulous. They drop fish traps on the reefs and use the...

So there I was. I was in charge of a not too deep wreck dive. 10 of us total. Only 3 had done this dive and it can be challenging with strong current shifts and lowwww vis. The top of the conn tower is 35 meters and the bottom is at 44 meters. I am the lead here, and I have 2 DMs. All divers...

So, there I was. I had 12 divers on the boat, ready to go. We go. 5 mins out, we lose an engine. Crap! Hobble back to the marina and the mechanic meets us there. We have a messed up piston, need major repair.. No diving.... So we all trudge home. My friend Adil calls and says if I have air, he...

This is the PINK tank my LDS boss gave me, to match my PINK!!! force fins. He said they needed friends. Is that the sweetest thing?

Yesterday afternoon, here in Kuwait, my husband and I were yelling at our kids to get ready to go out to eat. My den windows and french doors open onto the pool deck. I had heard a couple of sets of parents, each with several children, playing and squeeling. The kids were young and most had on...

So, I Know I bought my force fins in, what I like to refer to as, " OH MY GOD PINK!!!!!" I thought this would keep the boys from snaking my fins..... HAH! This is now typical of EVERY boat I run... So there I was. Blazing hot day here in sunny Kuwait. 123 farenheit and a full boat of divers...

So there I was. At Monk's Corner, on the Cooper River. We drove about two hours from Savannah and it had been doing nothing but storming. So, 7:45 this am, we took off on the pontoon boat. Me, daughter 10 years old, son 13 years old, another woman and her son 17 years old. We were told that this...

Picture this- My man-child, whose name shall not be mentioned, Justin, is newly turned 13 years old, 5"11' and wears a size 12 shoe.... Manly, thy name is Justin, well, he thinks so. He, saw my newly arrived force fins. Screamin' Pink, remember? In his crackly deep voice, "Mom, you have GOT to...

Well, there I was. Minding my own business, about to take my IEC Sea Exam! We had a visitor on our boat. Phil- a true guru of diving. He was with us and observing, as well as getting in his own dives. Along with his incredible gear was this little short pair of funny looking fins,(insert looks...

Hi ya'll, My name is DeAnne Davis, and I live in the ever-so-desired country of Kuwait. Actually, it is not a bad place to live, and I can travel in all directions for very little. As a base, it is great. We dive in the Gulf here, and there are actually some really fantastic things. Whale...
