Do you like free stuff? Yeah, I hate it too. Well, Nora over at Tactical Gear Blog is running a contest for a Suunto Core watch, valued at $299 USD. Enter by going to the announcement and commenting, in 75 words or less, your most hardcore story. They are looking for divers, climbers, hikers, and all adventure seekers, so go represent scuba!

SNUBA (diving while breathing off of hoses connected to a boat) has caught some attention of the years, but never really caught on as a viable option. The PowerSnorkel seems like a much nicer alternative. The air source is attached to a battery-operated buoy that follows the diver / snorkeler around, providing over an hour of bottom time at depths up to 40 feet. 40 feet is plenty deep to see a lot of great stuff.

More great lost and found stories! An Alabama man lost his wedding ring in Lake Martin. It was recovered when he hired a scuba diver to track it down. At first I wondered why he didn’t just buy a new one, but the articles says it has diamonds. Note to men: buy a cheap wedding band.

A West Virginia couple lost an engagement ring of a dock, straight in the river. A local diver was able to recover it in about an hour and a half of careful sweeps. Search and Recovery sweep patterns FTW!
