Sushi fish is definitely flash-frozen, hard as steel. When I was at the famous fish market/auction in Japan, the fish rang like a bell when they set it down...
All; I recall hearing about a phenomenon called tickle throat, along those same lines. I won't go into the details too much. I have eaten rock scallop...
... MSDSs are a good source of information. Didja know that there's an MSDS for H2O? No kidding. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< What does it say to do in case of a spill?...
Jorden, I am not sure what you have in mind when you referred to DPV's. The u/w units in this category span a wide range from serious pulling power to near...
Back when abalone was plentiful we bring it up (channel islands where it was legal to take them on SCUBA), along with scallops & mussels, and eat all that raw...
Perhaps one of the greatest advantages of a scooter on even more routine dives is the vastly improved SAC rate that you will realize with scooter use. Exerting...
Jim, That is an amazing DVD you did an outstanding job! Those scooters used look top notch. How else can you go to the Breakwater, zig zag through the kelp ...
... I've never used one, but my opinion is this: It depends on you. If you like to see a lot of different scenery and you like lots of gear, then they are for...
That is pretty much what we do when we use our scooters. The scooters are used to get to someplace that would normally take allot of finning to get to, we then...
I remember some fresh smelt we caught for bait right out side the Golden Gate. They had so many parasites inside them it was amazing the fish could live. ...
I own an old Apollo Seasprint and freedive with it occasionally. It's the closest you can come to keeping up with sea lions! (A Farallon is more powerful but...
WOW- Thank for the comments! It is funny, we thought people would get the disc set for the CDROM Digital Dive Guide, not the DVD. Turns out you are not alone....
Bill, The correct scooter set correctly is neutral and clipped to you. That is how the better ones pull you around. You can swim any part of the dive or all of...
I might agree that on land the SeaDoo is easier. But under water, a "tech type" scooter rigged properly, may use less recourse than scooters you hang onto and...
... One of reason we didn't continue to the Metridium fields is that we spent so much time getting one of the sea lions shots that we ran out of time that day....
Seriously Beto and Jim, you guys lost the main purpose of scooters, it looks cool on the pictures ;-) BTW you should get Susan to paint her, black isn't...
Just got back from the aquarium. Water is clear, from the back deck I could see the bottom at 8ft. It's nasty top side the diving still looks good and the...
Way back in the day when I was in college (invertebrate zoology course), we went on field trips to Mexico to collect fish for the express purpose of collecting...
Ob. Disclaimer: I am not a tech diver. That being said, I'm pretty sure I've seen helium and argon tags at MBDC. ... Jason "TJ" Winchell jason_winchell@......
I've got one of the SeaDoo models, and with a 1 lb weight in the nose, it's neutral in salt water. I've done the "toss it behind me, and peek in cracks" ...
i eat urchin raw all the time, havent had a problem with it. How do you know when you have worm? I remember watching a documentary about human parasites and...
I attended the MLPA meeting on Tuesday at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Seaside and listened to the presentations of the various proposals for establishing...
In a word, no. The current Pt. Lobos State Reserve would remain asis and would be under the control of Parks and Rec. The new "Greater Pt. Lobos State Marine...
Oh, yes, definitely! At the Breakwater, visiting the Metridium fields is a snap, and if the sea lions are out, they go crazy over the scooters. I've been out...
I can vouch for the Sea Doos, even if they do feel like a toy. Just to see how far they'd go, we shore dove from Lover's Cove to the Mating Amtracks, and they...
Marcos, The way I see it most equipments is designed to increase your undewater fun. It all depends on what you considered fun.... looking good for the camera...
