THAT is a happy camper!!! Very cool.

Jay got that right...wonderful pictures..."wanna be there" stuff.

I think it is law enforcement requests mainly, though those may sometimes be originally driven by FEMA, depending on the situation. The Dive Team gets called out for land searches, too. We have to complete NIMS 100 and 700 (basics of the Incident Command System that is used for disasters)...

I know that is so much fun...I remember diving down about 8 feet, leveling off in foot high grass and stalking thru that grass to get close to fish...just like stalking on land but you can float/fly horizontal as you creep thru the water...a very cool experience.

What were you after? Grouper?

Jay, I have joined the local Dive Team, part of FEMA here...precise descr. is "Public Safety Diver"...apparently much of the recovery diving here is "blacked out" conditions due to silt and turbidity. We have had the first 8 hour class session, do the next 8 hrs this Saturday...again in class...

Agreed....staying at less than 33 feet is best...a free ascent even from that depth can be daunting. Maybe topnotch will give us more details.

That was the same thing I thought...for a FIRST dive it is astronomically deep. The bottom time would not be very long.

Hahaha....as you say..."Lordy".

Gigi, you got me fired up with the jewfish shot...I worked up another Hayden video...we bought him a kid's snorkel but he insists on using Alex's full size one. I do not know how he gets it in his mouth and makes it work. Indulge me...I have WAY too much fun with him: <object width="425"...

I just sent this to youtube...here is Hayden snorkeling...captured with the Vivitar 6200. He was calling "yo-yo" for my attention...it is a "family call" that is usually distinctive enough that it stands out when I need to get family attention in a crowded setting. He gets antsy and is...

Good deal...I wondered. My Vivitar 6200 is still doing a good job for me. I got some underwater shots this summer of Hayden snorkeling...pretty cool for a 3 year old!!

That is a beautiful fish...very good picture. The first fish (grouper) I ever speared was on my scuba checkout dive trip in the Bahamas, 1971. It wasn't huge (maybe 15 lbs) but I remember that it gave me a bit of a ride before the little rodeo was over. Re: your picture...how deep were you...

You're nuts...but it's gotta be fun. Have a great day. :)
