WW2 Bomber plane wreck


I took this today. She went down off the West Coast of Bermuda in 1960. All passengers survived by parachuting out.

Dive Instructor Rant

Diver's Code of Conduct

No there's no need to follow or stay behind me, I'm just called your dive guide for the fun of it.

Please don't bother telling me your air consumption, or just lie about it, I love suddenly  being shown that you have 50 bar at 25m.

Buoyancy is over rated. Please do feel free to crawl in the sand, break the reef or chill on the surface.

There's no need to stay close to me, or even in my line of sight, if you have a problem or run out of air I will telepathically know that.

Sure you can touch everything you see, that lionfish loves to be petted and I'm sure if you grab it, it will feel great.

Why not take your fins off before you get to the ladder, I love a long surface swim to save you when you've drifted 100m away from the boat.

Dive profile? Yes we are just being pedantic.... Shooting up and down like a yo-yo is fine, of course you won't get bent, you're invincible right?

Yes weight is just for inexperienced divers. If you want to dive with 6 pounds that's fine, I will be your personal anchor on your safety stop.

By all means go into deco. I love sharing my air with you on a 15 minute deco stop because you wouldn't listen to me when I asked you to come up.
