A Fascination with the World Below. Welcome to my blog,. Diving has been a life long passion for me. I find that sharing dive adventures thru videography and stories to be some clean fun entertainment. My hope for this site is to provide a source of useful information and entertainment in several forms including stories, pictures, video's and other resourceful links. When I'm not injured, this is what I call fun. Yucatan cave diving with friends. This photo was taken by Bill Reals.

A Fascination with the World Below. The Santa Monica Bay of Southern California has a history of water quality issues. For years, the "Hyperion" waste treatment facility, also known as the "Turd Burner", has had issues with controlling the release of toxic materials into the ocean off Southern California. This has directly contaminated the Santa Monica Bay with bio-hazardous toxins and caustic chemicals such as raw sewage, trace metals, fertilizers, DDT. Groups such a "Heal the Bay". The skies that day w...

A Fascination with the World Below. Time to clean off the gear. Has recently been able to interview this eyewitness which might help in the overall effort to locate Gertrude P51 Mustang. During search efforts, several other boats and airplanes have been found. Identifying some of these has been difficult, due to the amount of deterioration caused by the septic bay water. Fortunately, we were able to spare the life of this innocent horn shark on this day. Hopefully he will not return to this death trap.

A Fascination with the World Below. A green 2nd quarter of 2009. Diving have been a little slow this last quarter. The water here in So. Cal. has been green and many of my cohorts have been preoccupied with other responsibilities. But, I did go to Oahu, Hawaii with some good freinds and partied our butts off. We got a litttle skin diving in at Waikiki and Hanauma Bay. Then went to Germaines Luau and eat more. All while watching an entertaining show. Scott met a new friend and got lei'd.

A Fascination with the World Below. The Convair B-36D Peacemaker. After arriving to the site, a side scan sonar was lowered into the water. Immediately, images of what appeared to be airplane wreckage scattered about the sea floor were seen. After running several sonar scanning passes throughout the day, a low light video camera was deployed from the boat. This drop camera footage immediately produced recognizable images. Below are some of those images. Http:/ abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?

A Fascination with the World Below. That god for zero gravity and good friends. The last year has been a difficult one for many. I myself have undergone trying times of late. A physical injury has kept me from participating in a number of activities but thanks to so many good friends I have still been able to accomplish some exploration. One very exciting adventure included the discovery of a missing aircraft of Dana Point California. Below is the article written by Kendall Raine and Gary Fabian. Crankca...

A Fascination with the World Below. New adventures, last quarter of "09". In the larger and less fragile systems, we chose to ride our diver propulsion vehicles or DPV's. The beauty of these is that they allow us to travel so much further into the earth than if were to swim, kicking our fins. At the least, three times faster. And the conservation of our breathing gases is substantial since work load is decreased. And he has lodging available for several traveling divers. The business end of a barrel.

A Fascination with the World Below. A wet 1st quarter of 2009. Several storms in the last couple of months have left Southern California a bit wet and rain runoff has lowered the visibility at our local beaches. Compared to many other places around the world, So. Cal. gets very little precipitation. Averaging only about 13 inches. And when it does rain, many of us don't know what to do with our selves. For me, this has provided lots of time to edit video footage that's been put off for a while. Walkerund...
