The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

Went on a short diving trip to St. Thomas last weekend. That place holds the best diving that I have ever seen, both wrecks and reefs. The last dive we did was in a place called Hidden Valley, it is almost surreal. You start this dive with a reef on your right and swimming along side of it. Then you make a right and it is amazing, 45 foot tall coral reef walls on both sides of you. It is absolutely amazing. Saw some lobster, octopus, large barracuda, crabs, spotted eagle rays, and fish of all colors and sizes.



Since most of my days were spent underwater I did not take that many pictures, but here is what I got.

Next time you go there try to get a charter to the wreck of the Rhone. It's right off Tortola in the BVI. I dove it in Sept. Best dive I've ever done.
