I noticed the new post on the bulletin board when I logged on to MySpace, and here it was... Free Short Story available! Yay!

The Short Story was written by Eric Douglas, the author of Cayman Cowboys and Bait & Switch, and it is available for Free Download on his website. The story is about the aftermath of Pearl Harbor and the experience of one family around Christmas time.

As the weather turns into the winter mode, it is a great opportunity to get yourself into the world of reading, whether it's SCUBA related or not.

From My Web Search Today...

While I ran some searches on SCUBA related topics, I happened to run into this website that explains how to research shipwrecks and maritime disasters.

The reason why it caught my eyes was because of one of the presentations provided at LIDA Film Festival this past Friday at Cradle of Aviation. One of the presenters was a known treasure hunter down in FL - they have a TV show on Dish Network, Treasure HD.

Figured that introducing this website may be a good idea as many of fellow divers from Groupers participated in LIDA Film Festival this year, and of course, this is a good opportunity (or time) to spend some time with researching that ol'shipwreck you wanted to know more about.
