Hey Morse Diving Buddies,

There is one thing that you absolutely must give New England credit for—we have the craziest weather around! These past few days we have had a Nor’ Easter on Saturday and 60 degree weather on Wednesday! In Massachusetts, big mamma nature gave us  all trick no treat for Halloween:

 http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/2011/1031/Halloween-Nor-easter-How-unusual-was-it

With the unpredictability of our region it can be difficult to plan out diving excursions for both pleasure divers and business divers…but for those of us who have diving in our blood, hearts, and souls…NOTHING stands in the way of a good dive!

Whether you live up here in New England, or have the good fortune to be some place eternally sunny, the temperatures are dropping. It is time to get out the cold water gear! This time of year separates the hobbyists from the true divers! A true diver does not let that freezing cold water deter him or her from the magic and exhilaration of exploring the depths of the ocean…it only adds to the adrenalin rush!

   So to all of my Morse Diving Buddies, my diving phonemes, suite up, stay warm, stay safe,  and stop by our new and improved Morse Diving, Inc page for all of your cold water diving needs: http://www.morsediving.com

Also, please share any and all diving pictures at www.facebook.com.morsediving

We love to share in your passion because it is our passion too!

Meet Gisela Hamacher, age 54. She is German born and lives in Australia. She is the first woman to become sport certified in standard dress diving from the HDS SEAP.

The pictures came from Stephen Taylor of the  HDS SEAP.

I know Veteran’s Day is still over a month away, but I wanted to share this vintage Morse photo with you.

Neil White, the man in the photo, was a diver with the 50^th  Naval Construction Battalion (Seabees).  He served from 1942-1945 throughout the Pacific Theatre in World War II.

Any inquiries should be directed to our email or by calling 877-87-MORSE.

Thank you,

Everyone at Morse Diving, Inc.

   Are you by chance like me? Do you sit still at the end of the day and wonder how in the world it got to be the end of the day?!?!?  There are not enough hours in the day, not enough days in the week, or weeks in the month for me to get done what I need to get done. AND- to top it off- I never want to check my watch, or wall clock, or that annoying little blinking time coming from the microwave! (none of them are really very cute)

    There is no getting around time! We gotta track it, gotta use it, gotta have it! So let’s make our time pieces pretty, versatile, and really, really, really AWESOME!

Cute Clock...Great Price...What is NOT to Love?

   I don’t know about you guys–but I am a sucker for labels! If y’all saw my closet, you may be a bit shocked and somewhat marveled. Some would say amused… others still would say jealous. Labels mean a lot: quality, endurance, reliability, validity, trust, and so much more. That is why when I learned that the Mark V Manual was not the only United States Navy distributed product from Morse Diving, I went a little shopping crazy!

      Morse Diving, Inc is an incredible label in and of itself. The “Morse Diving” name comes with 175 years of trust and product quality assurance. However, a ton of our products also come with a “Unites States Navy” backing as well!

Check out all of the products…

My father, who has not once been diving (and is really more of an inside man), already has the Navy-Official Diving knife on his birthday list! It makes the perfect gift!

         I have to admit something to all of you…I feel as though we have come to know each other fairly well… we Facebook, blog, email, Tweet, and connect in all other kinds of ways… Thus, I can be honest with y’all in every possible way… I have never been diving before.
           Ok, Ok…get the sharp inhales of oxygen, the gasps of horror, and the general bemused looks out of your systems. I told you that I was going to be honest. There are a lot of things still on my Bucket List. Hey I’m only going to be 25 this month! (But if anyone asks—tell them I’m 22 if I’m a day—wink ; -)
           I’m sure you are all wondering why I’m confessing this now. Why confess it at all? Well, partly because I have been rereading my college papers on the subgenera of confessional poetry; and, partly because Morse Diving, Inc has just released the Mark V Manual: the official manual of guidelines for the US Navy regarding proper use of the US NAVY diving system. As all of my Morse Diving buddies know, the Mark V Diving helmet is probably our most prominent product.  Before Morse Diving and the US Navy released the manual I had no clue what the Mark V was really for (mock if you will, I was born blonde and have accepted that fact). But now, all I have to do to sound intelligent, well-versed in Navy/Diving jargon, or just super cool is buy a copy of the US Navy Diving Manual!   

The US NAVY DIVING  Manual features:

• 100 pages
  Softcover, bound
  $49.95
  Free shipping WORLDWIDE
  Beautifully Detailed Diagrams
  Comprehensive Descriptions
  This is NOT a HOW-TO Guide to build a helmet! This is an in-depth procedural manual on Surface-Supplied  Diving — very technical:)

                Call 1-781-7772, email sales_service@morsediving.​com, and/ or visit http://www.morsediving.com​/ to get your copy today! Get a copy of the Mark V Manual if: you have a Mark V system, if you want to impress a good looking girl or guy at a party, if you are a diving or Military collector, if you like manuals, or for the detailed descriptions and diagrams that will literally make you smarter—Savvy!

      Sitting in my house last night I could not help but feel as though I was in London circa 1943. The air cracked with the smell of sulfur and smoke. The usually dark neighborhood glowed in breathtaking bursts. And, the peaceful, dull, melodic cadence of quiet that normally drives me bananas was replaced with hundreds and hundreds of booms.  Yesterday was the Nation’s most important holiday; the 4^th of July. On the 4^th we celebrate independence from tyranny and oppression.  We celebrate patriotism and the general awesomeness of the United States of America.  It really is one of the flyest holidays that we have.

     One of the best parts about working for Morse Diving, Inc is knowing that I work for a real American company. We are what it means to be American. This thought rang through my head as I sat back in my chair listening to the explosions in the sky around me. There are very few true, blue (Red, White, and Blue) American companies these days.  Even the companies that we think of as the essential “American Companies” cannot be classified as such in this day and age: i.e. General Motors, Ford, et cetera

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/driveon/post/2011/06/ranking-the-two-most-american-cars-are-from-japanese-makers/1

  They are being forced to reroute production to other countries. However, Morse Diving, Inc is a staple. We are American Made in every sense of the phrase.

     For almost  175 years we have manufactured the finest diving equipment in the United States. Our products are utilized by the United States Navy, the Canadian Navy, private companies, individual divers, and global businesses.  There has been little change to the products that we  manufacture  in over a century and a half of business.  Morse Diving, Inc  makes solid, dependable, long lasting products– products that withstand the test of time like the very company that makes them.

  Morse Diving, Inc makes the finest products in the finest country, for the finest customers. This has been, is, and forever shall be our policy.

Happy Independence Day from your friends at Morse Diving!

I, like many Americans, have been fighting an on-going battle with insomnia. Instead of sleeping at night I watch infomercials. Of course I had to use all of the will power I had not to buy one, or two, of every product the pitch men were hawking me, Seriously though, I did notice a very interesting pattern…everything is “Limited.” Limited time only, limited price, limited quantities…et cetera… But, what exactly is so limited about these products? I can go to the local dollar store and by 100 Sham-Wow knock-offs for fifty-cents.

I have not seen a product on an infomercial that can be deemed special, extraordinary, or even unique. What can, we, as consumers, buyers, sellers, collectors, call “limited” and mean even more so extraordinary.  

I have found the answerer:

            Something worth collecting, something that is literally limited.

Morse Diving, Inc. is about to celebrate its 175^th anniversary. If you have not heard, Morse is the oldest diving company, established in 1837. In celebration of this monumental event we are selling a LIMITED edition (and a very LIMITED amount) of the 1904 American Dive Collection Catalogue. Morse Diving has a Limited production deal that totally benefits our loyal customers!  This hardcover, leather-bound book contains beautiful sketches, images, and price descriptions of…not only Morse Diving equipment, but other popular diving brands from over the last hundred years or more! Yes, maybe the P90x deal is for a “limited time only;” but if you miss out on owning one of only 100 historical diving catalogs…the amount of time you will be kicking yourself for will not be limited!

Collectors of the world take note: the very foreword of this book explains the how rare these Catalogues are. Diving collectors of the world take note: “It could be dangerous and possibly fatal to use the information in this book it was printed for its rich historical information” (Mathieson). The entire history of diving, up to and including 1904, is neatly compiled and at your fingertips. Check out the specks:

     On Sunday my little brother was watching one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. I could not help but sit and enjoy the swashbuckling fun with him for a few moments. It is not that I find the plot terribly interesting—it’s the time period! I am in love with the Victorian era. Everything about it fascinates me. The ornamentation, the fashion, the everyday objects that are so dissimilar yet not from our own. Any opportunity to observe the past time period I jump at. The more I study it the more I can sit back and imagine myself living there.

         Over the years I have seen many visuals of the  centuries that have passed.   An image of a centuries old vase from Athens, Greece showing the wonders of the gods on Olympus recreated for a movie. I have seen an ornamental brush, comb, mirror set made of jade or ivory from the Victorian era through the glass case in a museum.  The glossy surface of history books have shown me a sculpture—carved to perfection—showing the awesomeness and indulgence of the Renaissance. The specific, unique, and often pedantic manner in which all of these items were constructed is unique to their time period. They are history-rich and so full of life!  An object-personified– because it can tell us all about the people and culture that surrounded it. The things that people used and made are as important and telling as the history books that we read in school—more so because they have soul.

        If you cannot already tell I have always had a passion for archeology and history. Pieces like the ones I have described are not readily available to the everyday man. The antiques, so vibrant with stories and ghosts of the past, have all mostly been unearthed, mostly. There is one place that we can still look to discover objects of history–yet to be disclosed chapters that are a part of man’s continuing tome—the ocean. As deep, vast, and tempestuous as the ocean is—it has swallowed many ships. Ships that were stocked with bounty, art, tools, brushes, perhaps even something more valuable that we cannot yet imagine it!  The glorious dream of discovering gold dablooms, pirate treasure, et cetera may be somewhat illustrious; however, artifacts are unearthed from shipwrecks by divers—just look at the divers who brought up the two oldest bottles of champagne http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-06-02/world-s-oldest-champagne-from-shipwreck-may-sell-for-145-million-a-bottle.html ! Some shipwrecks have been discovered—many have yet to be. The one question that YOU must ask yourself is what is awaiting ME beyond the depths of the sea: mysteries, historical breakthrough, personal epiphanies, and fame— academic or societal, really anything. The only way to find out is to set out on the adventure of your lifetime. It is a wicked adventure; however, with Morse Diving gear, you can withstand any trial set before you. Make sure that you are equipped with the Morse Diving Mark V Standard Watch so that you can track your passage in time! Email Donna @http://Sales_Service@MorseDiving.com to start your adventure! Happy diving!
