Time stops, and nothing else exists.  All the forces of the universe have come together in perfect order at this moment, and I am in awe, spellbound, by this precise, pure, point in time. My brain photographs this instant, click, knowing this will never exist again.  I start to swing my gun. I give thanks for this blessing, and rest in this spearfisher’s sacred moment, until a noise brings me back into the world.—- BAM—-  My shot was almost perfect, and I thought the fish was stoned, and then he roared off into the blue…

“Los Hombres-Ranas, Guerreros del Mar”

Quizás el apelativo con el cual se designaban estos combatientes submarinos no sea del todo exuberante o halagador debido a que fue concebido en los tempranos anos 1940 y tal vez su origen sea a causa del aspecto de aquellas primitivas aletas de goma que ciertamente se llamaban “patas de rana”. En esta época muy poco era conocido sobre el submarinismo.

Remontándonos a la historia descubrimos que ya existían guerreros submarinos desde tiempos muy remotos.

BARF!  But if you like to shoot fish, and the confined space happens to be a small boat, and your father in law also likes to spearfish, and your “hotie” mother-in-law thinks she can shoot a bigger fish than you, then the idea becomes more interesting.

It felt great to be back on our luxury live aboard again. After two months of showing Elsy the cold and craziness of LA and Las Vegas, it was wonderful to return to the natural world of the ocean.  My buddy Greg was with us on this trip to the Perlas, and for the sixty mile run, down to our first diving area, we were blessed with calm, beautiful seas…

MIAMI (Reuters) – Florida marine conservationists have come up with a simple recipe for fighting the invading lionfish that is gobbling up local reef life—eat them.

The Key Largo-based REEF conservation organization has just released “The Lionfish Cookbook,” a collection of 45 recipes which is the group’s latest strategy to counter an invasion of the non-native reddish brown-striped fish in Florida waters.

“It’s absolutely good eating—a delicacy. It’s delicately flavored white meat, very buttery,” Lad Akins, director of special projects for Reef Environmental Education Foundation (REEF), told Reuters. He…
