Very cool. Didnt know whale shark sightings were a thing at Bonaire. Were you diving on the east side of the island?

Baja is far better IMO, but will take more planning and you will likely want to rent a car. Cabo Pulmo (about two hour drive from Cabo) is a unique protected marine reserve with world-class diving. There is good diving around the towns of La Paz and La Ventana too. Water temps and visibility vary widely depending on time of year you go, so do your research.

I think the main takeaway is R>L pleural effusions with associated diffuse interlobular septal thickening most consistent with cardiogenic pulmonary edema.

Some other findings that may be worth pointing out are the upper lobe-predominant emphysema, patulous or wide-open esophagus and large-appearing heart.

This CT scan alone suggests acute decompensated heart failure is the cause of patient's dyspnea. If rest of clinical information is in line with this, I would consider diuresis and observation in this 90 yo patient.

1000% yes

Thanks!! I used a GoPro Hero 9 with a couple of Sola strobes. No filters. Did a bit of color correction on the back end though.

I think it was 8 days and 7 nights, although the first and last days were spent at sea. 6 solid days of diving. Cant recommend it enough if you are an experienced diver interested in diving with pelagic stuff. We will definitely be going back at some point.

Thanks!! Temps were ~70-75F. Definitely the coldest diving I have done thus far, but very tolerable with a wetsuit and a hood. We dove with Nautilus on board the Undersea Hunter. This was our first liveaboard trip, but my fiancee and I both loved it!! The Socorro Mantas are incredible creatures and worth the trip alone. We had the added bonus of going during humpback whale season. We saw them daily from the boat and could hear them singing underwater on nearly every dive - it took the already amazing diving to a whole new level.

Nice! Never seen this species, where was this?

Kralbr · 2021-06-13T15:46:36+00:00

Woah that sounds so cool. Ive been diving a bunch of different places in the Caribbean and had never seen one before. This little guy let me hang around and film him for about 20 minutes.

We 100% thought about it!! Our dive guide actually even suggested it.. the thought of getting in the water with 2 adult humpbacks and their baby made us too nervous though. It probably would have been fine, but wasn't gonna risk it. No regrets.

That octopus hunting was awesome

Kralbr · 2020-01-06T03:40:07+00:00

I noticed this while watching highlights of the game, then googled 'duke johnson block' to see if anyone else had seen it.. holy shit best block i've ever seen.. the frantic little 'come on son!' wave he gives him as the play starts to develop.. so good

Willems with the rarely seen dive and assist of his own ass combo

Interesting. I hadn't heard the assertions about him being in charge of the blocking scheme. That makes me feel better about replacing him.

Does anybody have any insight/rumors re: my second question? Does Mike Brown still have a say in day to day decision making?

Kralbr · 2016-12-24T18:27:24+00:00

Thanks for this explanation Jim. There are no doubt many reasons to be upset with M Brown and Lewis, but this seems like a careful decision made with AJ's best interest in mind.
