When you see a mac swimming away swim like hell after it. They usually don't change their speed which allows you to get close enough for a shot. Sometimes they even turn to look at you.

Can you guys give me the gist about this material, what application it's best suited for?
I have a black starboard sheet which I'm thinking of using to construct a small box to hold my sounder/GPS because I can't find an appropriate mounting bracket. The sides of the box will be held together with screws but I also want to glue it. Which glue is best for this application?

Thanks Davie. I went and got the 5200 from Home Depot. At this price it's not worth it to look for an alternative. I just hope that after using a little bit I can cap it well enough that it won't dry out. Someone told me to use a screw in the nozzle.

Shore diving is productive any time of year, but there are ups and downs for any area. Don't set your goals as high as you would with a boat which allows you to change location very fast if one area is not productive. If I really wanted fish for dinner I feel that I'm guaranteed something on a shore dive be it a porgy or a 12" hog or a few small snapper. Sometimes though I prefer to return empty handed if I couldn't get even one fish that I'd feel pretty good about.

I've already bought a couple of them at DD for $25 at different times. They must have raised the sticker prices to make it look like the discount is bigger.

I love these bags, but one is enough for me. I highly recommend them, well made and durable, the mesh is much thicker than it appears in that photo. Their normal price is $25, I hope divers direct keeps selling them. If not I may see if it's worth it for me to bring them in. Sailorman sells the same bag for $35, I noticed it today while I was rummaging through the store.

Hi Tony. Glad to see you made it here.

No, is it something I need to worry about?

Good idea about the syringe Adrian. I may even add some white coloring to the epoxy.

Very interesting vid, thanks tinu. Do they sell the head split like that, or was it for them to cook? Is it for soup?
I once saw Bahamian natives scale a barracuda by slicing along its body lengthwise with a rusty knife they sharpened on a stone right on the dock. They did a very quick and good job getting all the scales off in tidy strips. I've never been able to duplicate that. If you ever get a chance to film something like that please post.

I believed it. It was determined that a car with a surface that's pitted like a golf ball has better gas mileage. They put a layer of clay on a car and made hundreds of golf ball type pits on it. They accounted for the weight of the clay. They had a very precise way to measure how much gas was spent.

Did you guys see the mythbusters episode with the golf ball car?

To plug screw holes in the floor or walls of a boat that are no longer in use, can I use regular white sealant such as the one for bathtubs, or is the special marine stuff really much better?
-
It's possible. I haven't thought about it because the box was attached to the floor with screws.
-
So in conclusion do you guys think I should strap the battery to the floor inside the console (without the box) if the box presents difficulties and it will be a safe setup?

Davie, there's already a vent there, you can see it by the strap on the wall closest to the console. It makes me think that originally that space was intended for a fuel tank. Maybe I'll add another vent in the back wall where there's already a hole. Can't have too much ventilation for those fumes.. The fire extinguisher and its mount was until now under the seat. But I don't want it there because if there's a fire it may be by the fuel tank and in such a case I don't want to reach in there to grab the extinguisher.
The battery was in a box under the seat. It was easy to put the battery in the box because there was access from the top. Now the battery will go in the console. It will be much more difficult to raise it high enough inside the console to drop it in the battery box. Is the battery box really necessary? Should I secure the battery to the floor inside the console with a strap?
