Suunto Elementum - Aqua

Posted 3 Weeks Ago at 14:28 by ILDiver

Suunto | Elementum

I took the watch to the lake, we had three training dives to do to finish NAUI open water dives. To see what others thought I let a couple of student try it as well.

First, the watch and everyday use. It's a very nice watch, typical strong Suunto construction on the case. Heavy and rugged. I was wondering how the crown would be since it is pretty good size. It has not been an interference at all. I do not accidentally press any buttons or anything....

Sharks...

Posted March 20th, 2009 at 02:53 by ILDiver

Recently the media made a big fuss over a Tiger Shark that was killed 9 months ago. Then the public decided on their view regardless of facts, just what they "know had to be true".

Craig Clasen killed this tiger shark 9 months ago. Ryan McInnis has had video footage of the incident since then. The footage that all the news agencies has (all 60 seconds or so) came from Ryan and that is the only footage in public. Yet with the limited video the public has seen, they INSIST...

It's COLD...

Wind...sleet....snow. It's cold. The desire to dive right now just is not there.

With recent events, it's no wonder Illinois DNR is screwed up. The rest of the world gets to see how screwed up the state of Illinois is. Chicago corruption strikes again.

I'm hoping to get to Florida in April/May of 2009 and hopefully find some fish to spear on the trip. But for now I am watching frozen water that I can't do anything with just fall from the sky and taunt me. *sigh*...

Illinois - Land of Hostages....

Posted November 20th, 2008 at 22:11 by ILDiver

I'm going to start writing an article to be published by whomever will print it. I have a few places in mind to send it to start with. This is a rough draft and a place to gather thoughts for this article.

It seems Illinois is intent on protecting people from themselves. There is less and less freedom in the US in general, but Illinois seems to want to lead this charge.

I decided to see what can be done to change the view of diving and spearfishing in Illinois....

An awesome day to dive...

But I didn't. I drove 3.5 hours north to go to a cookout and dive. We all carried out gear down to the pavillion. We started talking and did not stop until it was time to go.

The weather was great, the people were also great. I can't wait to dive with the new faces that have recently appeared in our little midwest group.

The cookout was the end of year competition proze giveaway. Everyone went home with some great stuff. Shirts, magazines, Hawaiian sling stringer,...
