Looking to contact Alan Emery. He was involved in the Limos project. Probably the first freshwater underwater habitat projects. Was done around Tobermory near the Fathom Five Underwater Park in Ontario. Anyone have an email address or phone number?

Not sure if I would dive with this bloke or always dive with this bloke. He is either very unlucky or extremely lucky. I suspect unlucky but very competent. http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/third-brush-with-death/2008/05/26/1211653883 156.html

Foot traction when using closed fins	26 May 2008 03:48 GMT	3
My diving is of the warm water variety. I typically take my Mares Superchannel fins (with heel springs that I've put on) and my Harvey's Kobalt booties. This combination adds several pounds.

Stolt Dagali	22 May 2008 14:20 GMT	21
The past winter was not kind to the Stolt, I'm afraid. The galley and surrounding sections have collapsed (no clue where that big Hobart mixer went but I didn't look for it very hard) and some of the formerly wide-open spaces within (from last year) are now tight.

Scuba Gear Pricing	18 May 2008 08:31 GMT	23
Can anyone explain the huge range of pricing in scuba gear? I don't mean the difference between different manufacturers. I mean the same gear priced so radically different. It's not just a few measly dollars either, it's like 25% to 50% or so.
