Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino is worth watching. I didn't like the ending. An interesting look into some part of American culture otherwise unknown to me.

I'm not into poetry but this poem from Terry Maas' Blue Water Hunters video touched me. I liked it a lot and couldn't find a reference as to who wrote it so I watched the video rewinding and playing over and over until I got the whole thing on paper. The person who narrated it did a really good job and it really gets through. Reading it is doesn't have the same effect but I hope you enjoy it.
QuoteDisplay MoreGreat Mother Ocean brought forth all life, it is my eternal home.
But I have been gone into strange worlds so long..
countries without currents, countries without tides, countries without depth.
I have forgotten how to live in the world that created me.
I can no longer breathe the water.
I am slow and I am clumsy, I have lost my grace.
But the deep indigo of the depths calls me like a loving mother..
return to the depths, return to the source, return to your nature.Sometimes, beneath the shimmering surface of my memory,
I sense the deeper memories of generation after generation of hunters.
For tens of thousands of years I have kept a faithful record of my hunting,
so the children of my children’s children will know and remember.
And more permanent than any painted stone..
is the memory that lies at the heart of my every cell,
the memory of my hunting, the history of my tribe.
And when I wake beneath the modern sky,
full of smoke and sound,
as from a dream I believe I lost my way back.
For I cannot forget I am a hunter
and I am from a race of hunters
and there is no place for hunters in this time.If you have a good poem related to spearfishing or hunting maybe you'd like to add it to this thread.

Switching in itself isn't a big deal, I can just use my other mask. I'll keep going with the Cressi mask for while longer to see if I notice any other problem other than seeing the belt. I really enjoy the lightness of it.

I was diving today and used a rash guard top for the first time since the winter. I found it necessary to tighten up the belt by one hole while I was in the in the water. I couldn't see the buckle no matter how much I bent and had to do it by feel. I don't recall adjusting the belt with larger masks but I also don't recall it ever being a problem like today. I must conclude that the smaller field of view is a factor to be considered, in this case it was indeed an inconvenience. So, I stand corrected and may go back to a larger field of view mask. Note that the problem wasn't with the width of field but down.

Back on track.. I was diving today and used a rash guard top for the first time since the winter. I found it necessary to tighten up the weight belt by one hole while I was in the in the water.

Soon we'll have rubber rails, best on the market

I don't think they'd be fighting over territory. Maybe it was mating time and there was a female around.

Down at Haulover the water was calm but the vis was crap on the reef. Rash guard temperature. Pantoja got a nice hog and some misc small fish. I got a couple of hogs. We did an hour worth of diving starting at 3pm. The medium stiffness carbon blades were great.

Maybe a layer of fiberglass on each side. It will be interesting to see if it will support the stress in that area without breaking or delaminating. Monster, please post back on how it holds up.

3mm open cell wow, the water is that cold over there? It's rash guard time over here.
