What does DAN Europe advise for diving after you receive a Vaccination? Listen to what we found out.
We also have received word of an Ohio Drive Quarry that is changing ownership.
What? Where are the missing episodes? Don't worry. They are on their way. We have another significant format change coming in the next few weeks and wanted to get the current episode out before then.
-- there are a few sections where Mack's audio is a little clipping. We did clean it up as much as we could. It is still listenable, but does stutter and break a few times. The new format change should help address it or turn it into a big dumpster fire. Either way it could be entertaining. --

For some, this may be an unpleasant subject, but thousands of people could live many years if they could get the organs of a healthy deceased person. Divers are generally healthy folks who, if they, unfortunately, have a fatal diving accident, would enable others to carry on.

Galapagos Marine Life in Danger. These are lights from the 265-vessel Chinese fishing fleet that threatens the Galapagos. The boats are now operating at the edge of the protected marine reserve taking fish and sharks from the major migration route between Cocos and Malpelo, and the world is up in arms about it. The fleet of Chinese “ghost ships” were falsely reporting their location within New Zealand waters while they fished off the Galapagos Islands. Six of the fleet are transmitting false information via their Automatic Identification System transponders. The Ecuadorian Navy has deployed its limited fleet to protecting the reserve but with little hope of stopping the fishing and protecting the animals traveling past. This includes the largest female whale sharks In 2018, scientists equipped with Thruster units on their scuba tanks, managed to make ultra-sound recordings on the distended bellies of three of these pregnant giants, aiming to unravel one of the ocean’s great mysteries -- where do they give birth? But, more research is needed to untangle the significance of the area to whale shark reproduction. “Unchecked Chinese fishing just on the edge of the protected zone is ruining Ecuador’s efforts to protect marine life in the Galápagos,” the former Quito mayor Roque Sevilla has said.

A Plastic Pandemic. A glut of discarded single-use masks and gloves is washing up on shorelines and littering the seabed. Conservationists have warned that the coronavirus pandemic could spark a surge in ocean pollution -- adding to a glut of plastic waste that already threatens marine life -- after finding disposable masks floating like jellyfish and waterlogged latex gloves scattered across sea beds. Divers have found “Covid waste” -- dozens of gloves, masks, and bottles of hand sanitizer -- beneath the waves of the Mediterranean, mixed with the usual litter of disposable cups and aluminum cans. Wear a mask, but be careful with its disposal. 129 billion facemasks are disposed of every month. ( The Guardian/BBC)

Face Masks from Recycled Ocean Plastic. PADI has partnered with sportswear company Rash'R to make face masks out of plastic recovered from the ocean. Each mask is sold with five replacement filters (at $20.40). These PADI masks are a sustainable alternative to the N95 respirator masks reserved for front line workers. Children's masks are available too. So far, 1,300 pounds of ocean plastic have been recycled into masks to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. https://rashr.com/collections/face-masks-by-rashr

The Vanishing Sharks of South Africa. Those operating cage diving from Cape Town are concerned that this year no great white sharks have been seen -- not a single one. Their absence could be the most dramatic environmental change there in 20 years. Not long ago the sheer numbers gathering around one island off the stunning curve of sand just east of the Cape of Good Hope made it the great white capital of the world. Longline fishing, pollution, the arrival of orcas – what’s causing these crowd-drawing sharks to shun these waters?

Liveaboard Safety
After the Conception tragedy, we are led to think about the safety of liveaboards on which we all have traveled worldwide. Have you ever been concerned about a boat’s layout? About the crews’ competence in time of a problem; about your sleeping quarters; the battery chargers; the night watch? We’d like to hear your views and concerns and whether you have taken any special precautions.
Smoking Aboard?
Firefighters tell us most house fires start in the kitchen or are attributed to careless use of cigarettes. Recent events have made us more aware of this potential hazard. Smoking is commonly banned in places of work and public areas for health reasons, but fire affects everyone, especially on a boat. It would be relatively easy to ban smoking on American liveaboards, but less so in foreign countries where smoking is de rigueur. Do you think smoking should be banned aboard?
Atomic Regulator Hose Recall
Huish Outdoors is recalling some Atomic regulator hoses with a low-pressure hose swivel next to the second stage. Affected hoses have a hose crimp that bears a date stamp D0717. If you have any doubts, call repair guru Robert Stark at 310/947-8523, or you can e-mail him a picture of the crimp; or take your regulator to an Atomic dealer. Atomic Aquatics has sent repair kits to some affected customers, but the free repair should still be done by a trained technician. Contact service at (888) 270-8595 ext. 4, or at AALPHose@huishoutdoors.com for instructions. The defective hoses should be returned to Huish Outdoor.
Oldies Battle it Out
Bill Lambert celebrated his 99th birthday in September with short dive in the chilly waters of Pearl Lake with friends, divers and media on-hand for the special occasion. The Rockford, IL resident wants to become the world's oldest scuba diver. Meanwhile, 96-year-old British WWII veteran, Ray Woolly, claims to have broken his own world record as the oldest scuba diver, by going diving at the popular Zenobia wreck off Cyprus’ southern coast. He went to 138-feet with a total dive time of 48 minutes. His goal: to keep diving until he reaches 100.
Check That Your Tank Valve is Fully Open
Critical reminder: Before diving, take a couple of breaths from your regulator while checking the pressure-gauge needle stays steady. Sucking strongly on most regulators first with the tank valve shut assures you there are no leaks. (This doesn’t work if you have an Atomic regulator both as primary and alternate air source because of its unique design.)

Scuba Divers Knew of "Pedophile Island" In the waters near now-deceased Jeffrey Epstein’s private St. Thomas retreat in the Virgin Islands, there’s some decent diving, but when guides took scuba divers to spots near Epstein’s Little St. James Island, security guards would immediately walk to the water’s edge. “Everybody called it ‘Pedophile Island,’” says Kevin Goodrich, who runs Alternate Attitude boat charters out of St. Thomas. “It’s our dark corner.” On August 12, the FBI raided Pedophile Island to probe further into Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking ring.

Using a Transmitter? If you have a wireless air-integrated computer, the transmitter, jutting out from the side of the regulator’s first stage, can look seductively like a tank handle to uninitiated boat crews, and they may grab it. Mounting it at the end of a short (six-inch) high-pressure hose avoids costly errors, but don’t also forget to install the little double-ended flow restrictor supplied with your computer’s transmitter, rather than the single-ended one for use when fitted directly to the first stage.

Wrecked in the Galápagos
During the last day of May, the liveaboard vessel, Majestic Explorer (formerly the MN Galápagos Majestic) and part of the Explorer Ventures fleet, sank near the island of Santiago, between Isla Isabella and Isla Santa Crus, after running aground not far from where the Galápagos Aggressor I ran aground in 2013. The hull was breached in the bow area. All 26 passengers and crew were rescued before the ship capsized and sank with 2 tons of fuel on board. No injuries were reported. If you have a booking you should contact Explorer Ventures immediately.

The Humane Society International’s Australian arm has called for permits allowing it to continue to document shark kills by the Queensland State Government. It highlights the impact of the lethal shark control program and the fines of $26,000 for anyone caught within 66-feet of its baited hooks and shark nets in the Great Barrier reef marine park. HSI rejected the argument that drum lines had stopped shark attacks on beaches as superficially attractive albeit non-scientific.

iPhone to Work Underwater?
As reported we reported in our June issue (https://www.undercurrent.org/), available only to subscribers, Apple has applied for patents that will automatically adjust an iPhone for taking pictures underwater. An assortment of sensors will determine the murkiness of the water, how much light is absorbed by the water, and the color adjustment necessary to account for the selective absorption of the light. The latest iPhone is due to be announced in September, so let’s see if there is something special for underwater photographers.

Happy World Turtle Day
World Turtle Day was established in 2000 to protect turtles and tortoises and their threatened habitats around the world. Conservation efforts are led by several nonprofit organizations such as American Tortoise Rescue, which focuses on the rescue, rehabilitation, adoption, and protection of all turtle species. Since the organization’s inception it’s rescued or rehomed more than 4,000 turtles across the world through a combination of community outreach programs and financial contributions from donors.

Not to be confused with the Aria snorkeling mask by the same Italian manufacturer, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission are recalling about 1,000 Ocean Reef Neptune Space integrated diving masks, made between March and November 2018. They represent a potential hazard due to a possible restricted air-flow. Check if your mask is affected by comparing its serial number with those listed at oceanreefgroup.com. If yours is included, return the mask to where you bought it for a free replacement or refund.
Is This Why Whales Beach Themselves?
Divers know that fast ascents can kill. Whales don’t. A study in the Proceedings of the Royal Society highlights a link between naval sonar and the massed strandings of whales. Researchers in Las Palmas, Spain believe the animals could be victims of decompression sickness caused by fear -- they found nitrogen bubbles in the veins of stranded dead cetaceans, and blood clots in several of their organs. When the whales swim fast to move away from sonar, their heart rate accelerates, causing DCS.
Remaining Air Time Equals Remaining Range
Remember when we used to watch the fuel gauge of our cars and wonder how far the last bit of fuel would get us? Unfortunately, low-on-air divers don’t have the option to walk with a can to the nearest gas station. Looking at an standard pressure gauge with its needle in the red section can be unsettling, to say the least. That’s why more divers are opting for gas integration, often using a hoseless transmitter fitted to the regulator’s first-stage. The “remaining air-time” display is similar to the range indicator in a modern car, and accounts for your breathing rate and depth.

Why the Skulls and Boobs?
Diver Stuart Vernon went on social media to pose this question: “Why do so many scuba T-shirt designs make it look like scuba is for ex-Navy SEALs, or some sort of badass, when most of us are nice people? When conservation is now in the public’s mind, do you think this gives the wrong impression? Would you really wear a T-shirt with women’s breasts on it, or something more fitting for one of the Hell’s Angels?” Tell us about the worst scuba T-shirt designs you’ve seen – send an email to BenDDavison@undercurent.org

Jaws Turns Up in Florida
Sharks are the reason why many people won’t go in the water, but Amber and Tommy Allore, a couple of free-divers from Stuart, FL, were thrilled to get some photographs of a great white, a rare visitor to that stretch, while spearfishing with friends off Jupiter last month. They estimated the shark to be around 12 feet long. Meanwhile, Florida’s legislature is preparing a statewide ban on the practice of fishermen dumping fish guts in the ocean to lure sharks closer to beaches and, too often, to swimmers and ocean dippers.

Did You Hear a Fish Bomb?
Reef Check Malaysia has decided to put a spotlight on marine debris in this International Year of the Reef, because they are seeing alarming amounts of plastic and other trash on Malaysian beaches, and they’ll kick off their campaign with beach cleanups on 3 areas and other islands. However, fish bombing is still a problem in the area, the organization state. If you are diving in Malaysian waters and hear dynamite fishing in action, you can report it by emailing reportfishbomb@reefcheck.org.my with date, time and location.
The World’s Deepest Swimming Pools
The 148-foot-deep DeepSpot, is set to open this fall in the Polish town of Msxczonow, 25 miles from Warsaw. Visitors can freedive and scuba in water temperatures of 90-93°F, and cave diving beginners can train in underwater caves. But DeepSpot won’t hold the world record for too long. Blue Abyss, currently under construction in Colchester, England, will be 164 feet deep. Those two are following on the success of diver-friendly pools Y-40 Deep Joy in the northern Italian town of Montegrotto Terme (138 feet) and Nemo 33 with divers in Brussels, Belgium (113 feet).

Key West Bans Popular Sunscreens
Following in Hawaii’s footsteps, City Council members in this Florida Keys town voted 6-1 last month to ban sales of sunscreens with oxybenzone and octinoxate, two chemicals shown to damage coral. The U.S. National Park Service issued a statement after the Key West vote, recommending people buy skincare products containing titanium oxide or zinc oxide, which are considered natural alternatives to those two banned chemicals.

A Pretty Weird Poop Story
Scientists often get excited about the animal excrement they find. But one research team also got a surprise when they found a USB memory stick inside the frozen poop of a leopard seal on New Zealand’s Oreti Beach. It was in good condition, so they decided to search for the owner with the help of social media and news outlets. That’s how Amanda Nally, a self-proclaimed seal enthusiast, was shocked to see some of her footage of playful sea lion pups in nearby Porpoise Bay appear on the nightly news. The story gets even more bizarre – turns out the memory stick was found enmeshed in feathers and bones, indicating it was inside a seabird the leopard seal had preyed upon. Nally says she must have dropped the memory stick while beach walking.

Shearwater Recalls Its Computer Transmitters
Over the years, some of our readers have expanded their skills from sport diving to technical diving, and if you’re a Shearwater computer user for the latter, this recall notice could be important .
You see, Shearwater computers can be gas-integrated with multiple tanks, using several transmitters on their firststages .
However, one of the transmitters is now subject to a voluntary recall .
Shearwater discovered that the yellow transmitters may have the same transmission interval as the one found on the gray transmitters . When the transmitters of both colors are used by the same diver on the same dive, signal interference could potentially occur and cause dropped signals . (Otherwise, the computers aren’t affected .)
If you’ve got a Shearwater computer, stop using the yellow tank transmitter and contact the manufacturer online at shearwater.com/announcements voluntary-recall-notice-yellow-transmitters

Another Cocos Tiger Shark Attack
A lucky 30-year-old German male diver escaped intact after being attacked by a tiger shark near Manuelita Island, Isla del Cocos, Costa Rica on April 28. The animal bit into his tank and BC but he managed to free himself from his rig and swim to the surface while the shark ripped his gear to pieces as other divers look on. He was shaken but unhurt. Last November, an American, Rohina Bhandari, died after a tiger shark attacked her at the same location (Undercurrent January 2018). This is the sixth confirmed unprovoked shark attack in Costa Rican waters since records began.
Don’t Flame Your Mask Last month, we reported to our subscribers that a few Hollis masks had shattered when a diver hit the water, and now we have found the culprit: not the mask, but the diver. As you know, you must polish the inside surface of a new mask to remove the coating and prevent it from fogging. However, some divers try to burn off that coating with a cigarette lighter, but this can weaken the tempered glass and may result in a frameless single face-plate mask shattering on impact with the water, especially if the strap is pulled so tight it stresses the weakened glass. The proper way to remove the film is to polish the glass with a gentle abrasive such as old-fashioned white toothpaste.

- You may notice that we skipped 356. We had a recording problem where only one side of the recording took place. We have a very low quality version of the other side of the conversation recorded from the back half of the microphone. This episode may see the light of day, but it will take us some extra time. - -
This week Kevin, Dave and Darrin cover the upcoming training class and ice dive.

- We continue to refine our audio workflow on Discord. We like it better than skype but do discover a few things we need to fix. This week it was Kevin's audio. We probably had some auto-leving turned on that fought our recording software. We fixed as much as we could in post, but there are still a few spots where Kevin may be a little quiet. We may add a host "quieter" as a stretch goal on patreon * *

The recording quality in the beginning of this episode is a little rough. We had to go to our backup recording as we lost power during the show. The high quality file didn't save so we had to splice together the audio from backup with the audio after power was restored. This also contributed to the delay as we thought we could recover the higher quality audio. The attempt at perfection didn't work for us this time and we apologize for the delay.
