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.

**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.
