“Global warming doesn’t exist”. “No, really it does!”. “Aw hell, I don’t know”. If you spend any time on social media, you’ll easily scan past an opinion stating facts for each side of the story. Eventually, you may lose interest on the subject because of the heated debates, political mud-slinging, “eye rolling hippie jargon”, and other interesting things the internet boasts. The question is – does any of it hold scientific proof for, or against the subject?  We did our own homework out of sheer nerdy interest to see what’s out there… Actual Research on Global Warming Articles of particular interest: Global warming on hiatus: JuneRead More →

If you are 40 years old today, plan to retire at 65 years of age and dive the reefs you’ve always wanted to dive, you’re going to be very, very disappointed. We recently hosted a screening of the Netflix Documentary “Chasing Coral”. The process of preparations for this, as well as our Coral Restoration Expedition have been an educational experience.  Today, it seemed appropriate to share some of those our findings. Reef Stats Large sections of the Great Barrier Reef were destroyed – everyone was shocked. But 97% of the staghorn coral in Florida is already gone – did you know?

For immediate release. Fort Collins, Colorado. July 28, 2017 What would happen to our Colorado wildlife if the forests suddenly disappeared? It’s unthinkable. But a similar disaster is happening in our oceans when coral reefs die. Coloradoans now have the opportunity to participate in a coral restoration expedition with High Plains Scuba, acting in concert with the Coral Restoration Foundation, a 501c3 organization. Most of us think of coral as rock or a plant. But actually, corals are animals compromised of thousands of tiny polyps, which secrete a protective limestone covering. Coral death is caused by natural disasters, disease, chemicals, toxins and rising ocean temperatures.Read More →

Scuba tanks decompression

By:

What is Doppler Decompression? I was asked in class “What is Doppler?” and “what does it have to do with No-Decompression limits?” that we see on scuba diving charts. We’ve heard the term “Doppler radar” on the weather channel, but what does that have to do with scuba diving? You can learn quite a bit about decompression theory if you want to nerd up on the web, or simply take a course in the science of diving.  But if you’re just curious about a few simple things, here’s a list of nerdy little anecdotes about doppler, ultrasound, goats, scuba diving, bridges, submarines and to keepRead More →

Scuba Divers

Whether you are a new diver or seasoned diver, here are a few things that the may not have told you in your Open Water course: It’s OK To Tap Out You can call any dive, for any reason. It’s OK to not go diving if you’re not up to it. Whether you’re tired, cold, nervous, uncomfortable, have equipment issues or just don’t feel like it – whatever the reason, if you’re not OK to go diving, don’t go. Diving is Still a Buddy Sport The better diver we become, the more comfortable we get with distance between our buddy and ourselves.  But the fact ofRead More →

One Thing with Sylvia Earle

By:
On:

I recently attended a fundraiser for Fins Attached, where I had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet Dr. Sylvia Earle. I learned more about sharks, finning, conservation efforts, the decline of shark populations and more. Some of this I had known from educational programs, lectures, dive boat gossip and sometimes Netflix and Youtube, but there was still much to learn. I’ve never been a “conservationist”. I’m not a biologist. I don’t fall on the left or the right of any fence. I’m just one diver who enjoys the ocean and it’s creatures and because of that interest, I have learned much about our oceans, the threatsRead More →

Dead vs. Alive Coral

It’s 78 degrees, I plunge into the 74 degree water on Molasses Reef off the coast of Key Largo, Florida. As the chilly water makes it way into my 5mm wetsuit and the first shiver hits, I find it hard to believe that the oceans are heating up. The Ocean Needs Our Help A few months ago I found myself the pristine 84 degree water in Bonaire. I was enveloped in an environment teeming with life: healthy corals, gorgeous sea fans, schools of fish of every kind from nursery fish to pelagic species and even a healthy pod of dolphins. Corals are Dead To seeRead More →

Snorkel & Diving in the ocean

I believe that it’s an unwritten social law that scuba divers are attractive people. Take an entire crowd and somehow, scuba divers will attract other scuba divers and be knee-deep in dive-related conversation within minutes. Divers Are Attractive People Scuba Divers Are One in a Million…or ~758. I found myself once again, alone in a crowd of people at a conference. Even by the second day of the event, I knew approximately 0 people out of the ~758 attendees. Just another awkward experience I like to call “normal”. You know you’ve reached an all-time social low when even the sales representatives aren’t approaching you withRead More →

Dive Doggie Trout

The wind is blowing consistently at 30mph with predictions for 60mph gusts. It looks like the weather service was right – the wind is going to blow. I feel a hit on my fishing pole and watch as my Wyoming Marlin flies up out of the air at the end of my line. Reeling and reeling, this trout reminds me that a little wind isn’t going to ruin life’s adventures. Not today. If I had listened to the weather report without my mind being set, I probably could have been forced to stay home, rake leaves and act like every other standard adult in aRead More →
