I love flying and scuba diving, so it would seem only natural that I’d like this. It’s a cool idea, yet somehow still very sad. Of course, much like Homer crying as he eats the last buffalo, I’ll still dive the wreck. I don’t know how airliners are supposed to die. It sucks to see them cut up, parted out, melted down, sunk, or… Read more →

Normally I wouldn’t take note… Read more →

Traditionally the group I dive with alternates between Cozumel and San Carlos since we have good connections in both places, but this year… Read more →
