Whales Filmed from a Drone

It starts a little slow, but the whale footage at the end is great!

Re: Favorite Dive Mags And Why??

My Favorite is the Alert Diver. I believe that Stephen Frink has been the publisher for the last few years and has done a great job. The quality of the printed magazine is very high, better than most mags. The articles are great and the photography world class. I also like that the magazine can be d...

I use Ocean Divers, I can't help you with info about silent world. Check the decostop. I am sure you will get some opinions there.

Re: Key Largo - April

I love Key Largo! I have done 5 different trips there, and I was there last April. The weather was nice, we had temps around 80 degrees. The seas were calm, we had 4-5 foot swells at the Spiegel and Duane, but the shallow reefs were flat calm. The viz was 100 feet plus on all dives except one. One o...

Re: Florida diving accident

I always find myself thinking of the searchers that did the recovery. And let's not forget about the aftermath, In some areas the response would be "It's too dangerous, let's close it."

What a freaking idiot!

Re: Key Largo

I like Ocean Divers. Great boats, they go every day. They will dive wth as few as 2 divers. There is hotel right at the dock. The hotel is old, but it's clean and quiet. Everything can be arranged throu OD.

Re: Diving Sunday 1 December 2013

The wind report that I saw shows 27 knot winds. In my experience that would be a tough surface swim. I have done Flagpole many times. My advice is to pick another day for that swim.

Colors of Fall

As I drove up from Portland today it was nice to escape the wind. I live near the Gorge and it has been cold and really windy this last week. As I drove up HWY 101 I could see by the fog that there was no wind in Hoodscanal. The mornings on 101 are always nice, but today was really special. As the s...

Re: Diving the Diamond Knot

Nice report! The diamond Knot is on my list of dives to do. U-853 off Block Island, USS Rochester in Subic Bay, my trip to Puerto Gallera and a tug off Charleston, SC that I got caught in 20+ Ft seas on the way back (it was the first OW class that I taught). I guess I should have said most memorable...
