Endangered Unique Marine Technology Many of you may have heard of the Aquarius Reef Base which is currently operated by University of North Carolina Wilmington and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (under NURP), and that is located about 4 miles offshore from Key Largo, FL. What you may not know is that it has become an endangered species of sorts. It appears that according to Commerce, Justice and Science Appropriation Bills from the House (H5326) and Senate (S2323).

"You Stepped on WHAT...?
seawolfdiving - 8/24/2009 5:03 PM
You stepped on WHAT????..: Why do people learn to dive? Is it so that they might explore the aquatic realm and experience (if only for a short time) what it must be like to live under there. Is it so that they might catch a glimpse of a few of the many wonderful creatures that live there? Is it to observe the behavior of sea creatures in their natural environment? Perhaps it is all of the above, and more. It is not unusual for people to want to explore the oceans. It is natural for people to be ...

seawolfdiving - 5/08/2009 2:33 PM
Aquarius Aquanaut Dies............. Body: For those of us who choose to venture into extreme environments, the risk and danger involved with our every venture becomes accepted, almost as second nature. Sometimes, something happens that reminds us of our total dependancy on our own level of fitness, skill & experience and the proper function of our life support equipment. And so it is that I must sadly relay the following news: On Tuesday, 5 May 2009, fellow Aquanaut Dewey Smith, who was a resear...

The following blog is copied and re-posted from The League of New Worlds, Atlantica Expeditions webgroup pages, with permission: "It has never happened in all of human history before. Not even one time. But one day soon, a group of pioneers will depart the slivers of land on this ocean planet and venture forth into a completely alien world, with no intention of ever returning to live on land. In the past, we have gone there for voyages, but our hearts and our homes have always been on the shore ...
Living & Working in the ocean Living & Working in the ocean
seawolfdiving - 2/08/2009 5:23 PM
Living and working in the ocean On January 29th I posted a survey concerning Living and working in the ocean. 38 people responded to the survey. 20 people said that they would sign up to live and work in the sea. 9 people said that they might be interested. 9 people said that they liked the ocean but "no thanks" Although living and working in the sea might sound like science fiction, somewhat along the lines of "20000 Leagues" , I assure you that it is very real and there is an organization that...
The "Big Ocean" theory...
seawolfdiving - 11/29/2008 6:01 PM
Protecting, Restoring & Preserving the Worlds Oceans So here we are, divers, all of us. And we visit the oceans of this world regularly. Most of us do so because we feel the ever present call. That certain something, an urge, a pulling toward the oceans magnificent power and beauty. This calling creates a need inside each one of us that must be fulfilled. We know, almost instinctively, that the ocean is an essential part of our lives, all of us. And for those of us who have pursued a search to u...

seawolfdiving - 8/18/2008 7:13 PM
Living & Working Beneath the Sea Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live & work beneath the sea? Perhaps even become a permanent resident under the waves…? As a child, I always used to dream about what it would be like to reside in that wondrous world hidden just below the surface. The idea of diving to work, or perhaps piloting a submersible there has always fascinated me; So much so, in fact, that I joined the Navy at a very young age, and “went to sea”. Shortly after joining the ...

History of Man-in-the-Sea Poster
seawolfdiving - 3/18/2008 4:53 PM
I`m looking for a copy of a poster that was in print possibly from the late 1980`s to mid 1990`s that I believe was titled "History of Man in the Sea" It was an illustrated poster (not a photo) that traced man`s history with undersea exploration. My copy was destroyed and I really, really want to replace it. Anybody have any ideas for where I might get another copy?...

A word about Sharks A word about Sharks
seawolfdiving - 6/15/2007 12:00 AM
A word about Sharks So here we are again, discussing the age-old question, “…should we really be playing with the sharks…”? Though debated for years and resolved in most of the environmentally enlightened world, this issue still makes an appearance occasionally. I guess the answer to this question depends upon one’s perspective on nature and indeed on life itself. There are a few questions that a person can ask him/her self prior to engaging in such activities that may help them to make a good “...

Underwater Photography Underwater Photography
seawolfdiving - 5/16/2007 12:00 AM
One of the most popular activities that Scuba Divers choose to participate in is underwater photography. Every year, many thousands of divers go on vacation and one of the first things on their list of “things we need” is some sort of underwater camera. Sadly, many of these same folk come back from their various tropical resort destinations with little if anything to show for their investment of hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars they spent underwater photographic gear. And so they become di...
