We have created the Coral Heads community forum in the traditional directory format. Going deeper with topics and threads than today's more modern forums. By using multiple levels of forums, sub-forums, topics, and threads I hope to achieve a faster directory style search over just a keyword based search. This allows me and others that see the world as I do, the ability to explore the site faster when we have a general idea of what we are looking for.
See you on the water,

Quadcopters, Drones, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Quadcopters, Drones, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles - Do you love to fly? Quadcopters have taken the photography industry by storm. We love flying our drones over the coral reefs near shore. Often we see schools of fish circled into bait balls, with sharks not far behind. Having an aerial view of the coral reefs, artificial reefs, and shipwrecks really makes our research so much easier.

Submarines and Submersibles

Submarines and Submersibles - A submersible is a small watercraft designed to operate underwater. The term submersible is often used to differentiate from other underwater vessels known as submarines, in that a submarine is a fully autonomous craft, capable of renewing its own power and breathing air, whereas a submersible is usually supported by a surface vessel, platform, shore team or sometimes a larger submarine. In common usage by the general public, however, the word submarine may be used to describe a craft that is by the technical definition actually a submersible.

They consist of three elements: a permanent fixture to the bottom, a floating buoy at the water's surface, and a line that connects the two. - What is the purpose of the mooring buoy? What does a mooring buoy look like? When approaching a mooring buoy, what should you do?

Who is going to the Miami Boat Show?
We may go to see Gene Chaser at the Yacht Show.

What kind of adventure could the SeaXplorer 105 (345 ft) built by Damen Yachting bring to the table?


This is one of the most interesting explorers I have seen so far. Although the YS 53 is more functional for use in the Abaco Islands. This would make a great complement to the fleet.
Making a lot of updates and upgrades to the back end of the forum. Do you have a favorite category yet? I think I am stuck between deep dropping and high speed trolling for wahoo, when not reading about swordfish.
Planning some trips over the next few weeks. Goal is to create 12 full one hour detailed how to videos. What topics would you like to see? One I want to make is close up drone video of tarpon hitting a bait both above and below the surface. Let's get it done.
