Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.
And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.
Only $25,000. Sounds like they blew an engine. Pity, they put a lot of work into the old girl.
I spent a lot of hours under this boat, diving and not.... and let's not forget ...
Diversion II was broken up somewhere on the Chesapeake Bay years ago. Just a few dive boats left. Shops too - Dosil's closed-up this year.
Much of both boats' old websites was folded into NJScuba.net, so they're not all gone. Looks like Seeker's old domain name has been bought up and turned into spam. Alas.
A normal 3/4 pound male Sea Bass on the right, and an enormous 18", 4-pound "Super-Male" on the left. State record is 8 lbs 2 oz.
Spearfishing is really a solo activity. The presence of other divers in the water certainly does not preclude spearfishing, but the last thing you need is a buddy following you around in close proximity while you hunt, especially if he is spearfishing as well. This is in direct opposition to the conventionally accepted "buddy system" of diving and therefore makes spearfishing an activity only for more experienced divers who are capable of self-sufficiency in the water.
For every shot, assume you are going to miss. The resulting overshoot must never be a danger to other divers. This means either having visibility well in excess of the range of your weapon ( seldom ) or having a good backstop ( often the bottom is the best backstop. )
