    PELAGIC MAGIC: Diving in the Middle of Nowhere

    Story and photos by Marty Snyderman

    When it comes to careers in diving, I think I have been as fortunate as anyone who has ever donned a set of mask, fins and snorkel.

    What is visibility?

    Illuminating facts about an unclear situation

    By Robert N. Rossier

    What’s the difference between a great dive and a mediocre dive? In most cases, it’s a matter of feet — not in terms of depth, but underwater visibility.

    Off the Wall:

    The Thrill of Wall Diving

    By Lynn Laymon

    When you are referred to as being off the wall, it doesn’t necessarily carry positive connotations.

    When I was a medical student at Duke University, we all observed the wards full of heavy smokers with lung cancer, heart problems and peripheral vascular disease, and it was fairly well-known that their nicotine habit was a big contributor. However, none of us said very much, because Durham was a tobacco town, and many of the doctors smoked. As a new doctor in the early 1980s, I became pretty vocal about the hazards of smoking, but that wasn’t cool at a time when everyone was into personal choice and tolerating the behavior of others, so I had to learn to keep my opinions to myself.

    Johnny, when we hit the surface both Ray and I thought the same thing, "That would have been a great video shot - where's Johnny with his GoPro."

    There is rarely a time when I do not wear gloves. The two main reasons I wear them is to prevent cuts/abrasions, and of course to keep my hands warm.
