Seahorses, octopuses, and jellyfish -- oh my! Sunday tv

NatGeo Wild (DirecTV 283) has 3 different programs on tomorrow night you may find interesting. The first is about seahorses, the second is on our own beloved GPO, and the third is regarding jellyfish. I've got all 3 set to record!

Re: goodbye gopro!

Bob--I saw someone with a Kodak Zx3 who said the 5 version had some bugs but the 3 was still a sturdy option. That's all I know, so you may want to investigate.

He's also familiar with another sign that uses the same general motion but with a different finger. I happened to flash it to him during Essentials at a particularly frustrating moment.

Re: Narked?

I don't "feel" anything, but I start obsessing over my gauges when I reach ~100 fsw in the sound. In Bonaire, I've gone deeper and never had the obsession come on. I always dive with 32%.
