A rogue with an eye for salvage - and the ladies - Ray: A Life Underwater is an affectionate portrait of one man's deep sea diving career, told through his extraordinary collection of marine artefacts.
Like a modern-day pirate, 75-year-old Ray Ives has been scouring the seabed for treasure his whole life.
The former commercial diver has plundered the deep for over fifty years, bringing to the surface anything that glittered -- even gold.
In a shipping container near the water, Ray tends his museum of cannon, bottles, bells, swords, portholes and diving gear.
He even still takes to the water in a 1900s diving suit.A rogue with an eye for salvage - and the ladies - Ray: A Life Underwater is an... more

I found some video from a show at the Blender Theater. OK, cool, so now you can at least see the final band from the show the same way I did. I think I saw two songs by this band including this one as I came back into the building and stopped by the bar for a Jack n Coke.
Not very much to go on I know but the one thing that jumped out at me was the guitar work on this song which I liked both in terms of the playing and the theatrics hehe
This video was shot n supplied by SKA Jenny ( http://www.youtube.com/skablog ) and I'm grateful because this way I get to share at least a bit of the actual experience with you in the way that only video can do. She got great quality video and better than usual audio.

A New Zealand man who promised his wife he would find his wedding ring after it fell into the capital's harbour has been successful - 16 months later.
Ecologist Aleki Taumoepeau was working in Wellington harbour last year when the ring went into just over three metres (10 feet) of water.
He threw an anchor in to mark the spot, insisting he would find it.
The couple had been married just three months when the ring took its dive.
An initial search three months after the loss failed, but Mr Taumoepeau was determined. He returned again recently for another dive, risking chilly midwinter temperatures.
"I was getting cold and tired so I said to God it would be really good to find the ring about now," he said, also using new global positioning co-ordinates.
He spotted the anchor - with the ring lying just inches away.
"I couldn't believe that I could see the ring so perfectly," he said. "The whole top surface of the ring was glowing."A New Zealand man who promised his wife he would find his wedding ring after it fell... more

Darren Taylor, or Professor Splash as he likes to be known, has smashed his own world record for the highest dive into just 12 inches of water. This is now the third time he's broken his previous Guinness World Record.
Apparently he uses a kind of belly flop technique, which he claims helps him "skip across the water" as he's landing. Quite how I'm not sure.
But, like any true pro he's keen to offer out a word of wisdom to any wannabe Professor Splashs, saying that the key to his success is "experience and research" and that, unsurprisingly, what he does isn't easy.
Bravo Professor Splash, bravo! Darren Taylor, or Professor Splash as he likes to be known, has smashed his own world... more

Wakulla Spring's cave system is one of the largest in the world. Divers first entered the cave system in the 1950s on a quest to recover fossilized remains of mastodons and other animals.
Since then, researchers and scientists have explored and mapped more than 12 miles of the cave system. While recreational diving is not permitted at Wakulla Spring, you can experience the cave by viewing the images and cave maps below. The numbers on the maps correspond with the photographs taken during research dive projects.Wakulla Spring's cave system is one of the largest in the world. Divers first... more
