What about those crazy alien life forms that are currently hiding in lakes, contaminating the water? >_>

Definently longer than I been alive!

Congrats!

Seth T. wrote:Sweet, now we don't need to use glow sticks during a night dive! Just paint our tanks with Woolite and use black lights! Yeah Baby!

I could see all sorts of weird things happening now.

"I just saw a glow in the dark skeleton float by!"

Thanks for the website, I'll definently be staying there for a few days to relax when I come home on vacation next year. I'm guessing no motor boats allowed? Which makes for a good thing...

Made in China! Lead free, no promise.

On my last dive in the PNW (at Mike's Beach NWDC Meet) Bassman and I were swimming along when I saw a dog fish for my first time - I was pretty "WOW'ed" seeing it head right for us in the water as we turned our lights toward it. Then Bassman hit it on the head with his light, lol. Ask him...

It's because of the alien glow from their eyes!

As much as I'm not really in favor of whale hunting, you should know it was not the Makah's idea to shoot the whale with rifle. My understanding from previous years hunts was that the Makah wanted to hunt the whale in the traditional way (harpoons and canoes only) DFW or whoever they secure the per...

Wow. Amazing to hear about this.. 2 hours underwater! Crazy. Someday I'll have to learn more about this when I'm home.

I've heard very little about rebreather other than no bubbles, and it scrubs what you breath out, adding in a little more oxygen. But I was very curious because the other thing I did hear was you can be underwater for a longer period of time (without surfacing) ? Just wanted to know the average UW t...

error. :( ](*,)

Oh snaps, it's JAWS!

Rule #1 (for Tom at least) - When you leave your camera behind you will always see something cool. Therefore, never leave your camera behind! Wouldn't a better deduction be to always leave your camera behind? ;-) I suppose you could go there... but then nobody would believe me! And so far I've seen...

Those sunfish look amazingly cool. When I watched the DVD I have (IMAX: Deep Sea 3D) - that was the first time I had heard of them, seen them. I'd LOVE to see one in person sometime because of how bizzare they are.

While Keystone provided me with nice visibility in the last four days of diving there, today I visited Langley on rising tide near the high mark, it was bad. Under the thermocline at 32 feet it improved somewhat, maybe to twelve feet, but chunks of sea lettuce and silt floating all over the place.....

Tell us more. Why the Conshelf? It was recommended to me by someone in the military, knowing he knows a lot about diving put me as taking his recommendation. What is your budget? There really is none. As long it's not 24k gold (solid or plated) then I'm sure it'll be fine... What type of diving are...

this is idiotic on so many levels Including the reporting. The whale was NOT shot with a machine gun. The whale should not have been shot, but they don't need to make sensationalist errors like that. We are sufficiently outraged without the image of illegal automatic weapons, which is a fabrication...

Welcome Chris, and thanks for telling a bit of your story! Looking forward to stories of your diving, and to hitting the water when you get back! (I live in Lakewood and dive with Bassman all the time so it should work out!) -Tom Nic Hey, we will. I was the blonde guy (if you remember) that dove wi...

And I still hate the fact they got their "right" to hunt whales back those years ago. :|

Small rock... You're kidding right?! That rock is the size of a freaking house! It's the biggest single rock I've EVER seen, above or below water. IF you ever goto Thailand, goto the Similan Islands. They had a lot of great boulder dives there... boulders much bigger than 100ft rocks. The best part...

Well let's see.. My name is Chris, I'm from Steilacoom, WA and am currently an Open Water Diver. I was Certified in Phuket, Thailand (March 2007) on one of my vacations and was immeadiately hooked. After my initial 4 OWD dives I went on a 2 day 1 night Liveaboard in Thailand at the Similan Islands. ...
