Cozumel – August 13 – 20, 2011
Cozumel Mexico – August 13 – 20, 2011 This is a call to divers. I may not have met you and you me but I am sending out this invitation asking if you would like to join a team of divers from Open water to Master Instructors on a trip to Cozumel Mexico, on any number of days between August 13 – August 20, 2011. The goal, dive and have fun. Meet new people and make new connections. I am producing a documentary on Lionfish and perhaps you could be one of the lucky divers to be filmed capturing and eating your catch for dinner that very night. Because of the location of the lionfish, expert diving skills will be required. There will be more than just filming lionfish, there are wonderful drift dives … Read entire article »

I placed this post out under PADI (Professional Association of Dive Instructors) Discussion Topics area this morning. Why are Instructors excluded from being a choice for students to select when registering/signing up elearning? a few years ago, PICs were available online except for Instructors. Now elearning is online and ALL Teaching Status Instructors are not listed as a contact for the prospective student. Take the total number of Teaching Status Instructors there are in the database. Divide the number of IRRAs into that number and tell me if the quotent is a realistic number? That number represents the number of instructors / IRRA. It’s over a 100 instructors / IRRA. What is the average number of Instructors / IRRA? Perhaps 10. Why is there such a deviation between the two numbers? Now, take that difference, … Read entire article »

Full Face Mask check out
Today, Joe Kistel and I took off to Blue Grotto at 8am. Joe is the founder of TISIRI. My goal this trip is three fold. First, a checkout dive to see how I feel on my first dive after surgery. I felt great! Buoyancy was spot. I wore my usual, drysuit, Zeagle 911 BCD, slipstream fins, gators and 10 pounds of weight. I ended up being over-weighted. I couldn’t believe it. I was adding air to my BCD and my drysuit at 30 feet. Kewl. I can drop some weight from my belt! The second goal was to speak with Ed, the owner of Blue Grotto about putting together a video of Blue Grotto. Well, Ed and Judy are out of the country at the moment. The third was to test out the … Read entire article »

Buford Springs, Florida
This dive was a side trip for the grown ups in our group. We were actually in the area to swim with the Manatees and a drift dive down Rainbow river. This was/is one of the most specatular cavern dives I’ve performed. Here is a small video of that trip. [xr_video id=”1b7685f30ce3418b8d55e5001b209906″ size=”sm”] … Read entire article »
