After the big Bahamas Blue Hole dive to 517ft that Brock Brinkerhoff & John Chatterton made, I took a few photos on the dive platform. I like the following, particularly:

It is the pen that gives immortality to men
Got an opportunity to finish a few books during the break. Just before going on vacation, I read the Twilight Watch which I thought was actually the best of the series so far (It follows The Night Watch and The Day Watch ); I was surprised and I don’t know if all will agree, I’ll… Read more »
Hiatus ? Maybe. ThinkingDiver. Yes !
I haven’t updated this blog much recently. That’s because I have been working on a new endeavor which has taken my time a bit. Today, my dive buddy Sam and I launched a new web site about diving. Check it out ! Plug it if you like it ! In the mean time and for… Read more »
Wreck of the Pinthis
I am always up for the deep, cold, long challenging dives. So when an opportunity came along to dive the wreck of the Pinthis, I jumped on it. The wreck is nearly 100 feet of deep freezing waters (barely hitting high 40s), a rough (flat seas) and long (40 minutes) trip from the (rich and… Read more »
Diving the Chester Poling on my rebreather
In our quest to put more hours on our rebreathers, Sam and I dove the stern of the Chester Poling yesterday, a classic new england dive. It was my first good pair of dives on the wreck. The first one was spent trying to figure out my respiratory rate on doubles trying to ‘move the… Read more »

Lobster at Folly Cove
Lobsters are so pretty in the water: Yeah, I know they’re delicious in your plate too.
Sting me not, please.
While it’s no substitute for a video camera (HD ?) in an underwater case, the Canon S50 takes decent little movies…
Time to upgrade ?
Though most of it can be blamed on the general murkiness of the waters those days, I am not very happy about the reef photos I took with my small underwater rig (Canon S50, underwater housing, ISO 400). Sure there are some decent ones but I feel like my setup is now limiting me a… Read more »
Bibb, Duane & snappers
Very rough seas prevented us from diving yesterday but today, we buckled up and set out for an adventure. With 3 to 6 foot swell and the occasional 8, I was barfing by the first dive interval. It was a rough ride to the wrecks. We dove two ships today, the Bibb and the Duane… Read more »
