9 Steps to Work Less and Do More | a review
Is it really that easy? Frankly yes, once you break down how and where time is so very easily wasted. Stever Robbins’ new book ‘9 Steps to Work Less and Do More’ does exactly that – takes what we should all so very easily be able to manage (our time), and presents us all with…
Read Morele Musée Océanographique
There are two places in the world that I have thus far felt have created a particularly overwhelming positive public presentation of the ocean sciences and related exploration. First is the Hall of Ocean Life in the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, and second is the Musée Océanographique in Monaco France,…
Read More‘seeing’ is believing
After spending a long-awaited day working in relatively clear water, as opposed to the mud holes typically encountered in the wild and wet world of commercial diving, I am inclined to again address the topic of visibility underwater and its effects on performance. Quite frankly, it’s all so very easy when you can see what…
Read MoreEdgar Cayce’s Atlantis | a review
There is nothing short of the word ‘rivetting’ to adequately describe Edgar Cayce’s visions of Atlantis. Coupled with the fact that such insight came from a Kentucky farm boy at the turn of the 20th century adds an even greater sense of bewilderment. ‘Edgar Cayce’s Atlantis’, authored by Drs……….

Are we alone? The question of all questions, of all civilizations, and of all time. The fact that we have such high biological and chemical diversity here on Earth, would lead one to believe that there are no exacting replicates of us, or even of our biosphere out there on another planet or inhabitable moon,…

CNN recently interviewed a group of former BP Deepwater Horizon workers who survived the catastrophic explosion back in April.…
Read MoreShudders of Uncertainty
Ok, so its time to be honest with ourselves. Put the big diver machismo aside for just a few minutes, and take some time to recognize a very scary reality that we have all faced underwater…that is, ‘shudders of uncertainty’. I am currently amidst a block of time where I am spending more than 30…
Read Moreour limits in the sea have been pushed
A recent article on CNN describes how robotic technologies are being pushed to their maximum capabilities in responding to the BPGulf Oil Spill. It is no coincidence that I comment on this news piece immediately following my previous post on exploring the oceans of Europa, Jupiter’s watery moon. Read the full CNN articlehere. While the…
Read Moreno match for Mother Nature
This weekend, I spent my would-be leisurely weekend off responding to a vessel emergency off of Brenton Reef in Newport, RI where a vessel was abandoned before smashing up onto the shallow rocks that make up the reef. Fortunately there were no injuries, however partaking in the salvage of the vessel, I was once again cleary reminded…
