    I keep watching the videos and do not know where to start. WOW! Have you guys noticed his breathing ? My heart rate and breathing accelerated while watching all the sharks, I consumed more oxygen while watching than he did diving. I felt like I was watching Discovery channel, great video .

    I was thinking Tims next hunting video , Tim could turn around his Mini g and butt stroke a Grizzly!

    I showed my Wife and she was like holy crap,

    My wife and I have started diving again so only seems right to bring this thread back to the top. Your diving is a little bit different than our small reef sharks and nurse sharks LOL.

    You guys get out to the West Coast give a shout- I'll take you out to the Channel Islands, Amazing diving where the currents converge, best in winter though, often 100+ viz. And don't worry about the Whites, I have only seen one in the last ten years or so. We'll even take PADI divers Stu.
    We can work on getting you your NAUI certs. Heh Heh.

    All the certs are just money makers for the dive industry. The government seems to have overlooked regulating scuba. I guess they will get to it sooner or later.

    Yeah, the best certs were the old Fire Dept certs in the 70's- you guys do those back there?

    No, PADI was the big one over here. Another ripoff is the "visual inspection". Some clown looks inside your tanks and wont fill them unless you buy a $15 apiece "inspection sticker". Ripoff

    Unless you are getting EANx via partial pressure filling. I'm leery of blending gas in anyone else's tanks but my own...

    I,m old school. Compressed air. I never had a depth gauge until my bourdon tube was so full of algae I couldn't see into it anymore. I do dive in a dry suit however.
